New York City is known for its bustling streets and pedestrian-friendly environment. Despite various safety initiatives like Vision Zero, implemented in 2014, pedestrian accidents remain a significant concern. Tragically, being struck by a motor vehicle is the leading cause of fatal injuries for children under 14 and the second leading cause for older adults. Nationwide, nearly 6,000 pedestrians lose their lives in traffic accidents each year.
Pedestrians are especially vulnerable in motor vehicle accidents because they lack the safety protections that drivers have. Even at low speeds, a pedestrian can suffer severe injuries. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving due to drugs or alcohol, driver fatigue, making unsafe turns at intersections, aggressive driving, failure to yield the right of way, and failure to stop at intersections. Other common incidents involve backing up accidents and school zone accidents.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, it's crucial to understand your legal rights and options. You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries from the at-fault driver. Samantha Kucher and her team of personal injury attorneys at Kucher Law Group are here to help you through this process. You can reach us at (929) 563-6780 for a free case evaluation.
Understanding the types of injuries that can result from pedestrian accidents is essential. These injuries often include compound fractures, crushed bones, traumatic brain injuries, concussions, spinal cord injuries, internal bleeding, burns, scarring, disfigurement, internal organ damage, paralysis, amputation, and even post-traumatic stress disorder. In the unfortunate event of a fatality, surviving family members may be able to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent driver.
In this video, we'll also discuss what happens if the pedestrian is partially at fault for the accident. New York's comparative negligence laws allow pedestrians to recover some compensation even if they share some of the blame. This makes it possible to seek damages based on the other party's percentage of fault.
At Kucher Law Group, we understand the immense impact these accidents can have on your life. Our Brooklyn pedestrian accident attorneys work diligently to investigate the circumstances of your accident. We aim to determine fault and seek compensation from all responsible parties.
We also cover the types of damages you may be able to recover, including medical expenses, lost wages, potential future medical care, future lost earning capacity, property damages, and compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress.
Navigating the aftermath of a pedestrian accident can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with insurance companies. Our team is here to help you level the playing field. We handle insurance claims and negotiations, allowing you to focus on your recovery. If necessary, we will take the at-fault party to court to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
