Liability for New York City Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable to hazards posed by motor vehicles. According to Injury Prevention, “Almost half (48%) of all MVC deaths in NYC were among pedestrians, compared with 12% nationally. Pedestrian death rates were highest among older age groups (⩾65 years). NYC’s older pedestrians were more likely than US older pedestrians to be killed at an intersection, during daytime and on weekdays.”Certain steps should be taken after any NYC pedestrian crash.
- The police should be called to the scene so that they can investigate.
- Medical records related to injuries should be preserved.
- Any person injured in a NYC car accident should contact an experienced personal injury attorney.
Drivers are supposed to exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian in the roadway. If a driver fails to slow down to avoid hitting the pedestrian, this could be construed as negligence. Any person injured in a pedestrian accident may be able to pursue damages through a personal injury claim. Damages can help cover lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
