Liability for Manhattan Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians lack the protection of enclosed vehicles and are much more likely to be seriously injured in the event of a crash. According to the Governor’s Highway Safety Association, “Drivers struck and killed 7,148 people walking in the United States in 2024, down 4.3% from the year before and the second annual decline, but nearly 20% higher than the 2016 level.” Drivers should take many actions to avoid hitting pedestrians.
- Drivers should continuously scan the road ahead of them.
- Drivers should use their horns to alert pedestrians of their presence.
- Drivers should abstain from alcohol and other intoxicating substances.
Drivers must be particularly cautious to avoid hitting pedestrians. Pursuant to New York Vehicle Code 1146, all drivers must exercise due care in order to avoid hitting pedestrians, bicyclists, and domestic animals in the roadway. When drivers fail to avoid a pedestrian, they could be held at fault through a civil action. Victims of pedestrian accidents tend to suffer very serious injuries.
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Lacerations
- Spinal cord injuries
