Manhattan Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

Representing Victims of Auto Pedestrian Accidents and More!

Pedestrian accidents can be particularly brutal because they often involve catastrophic injuries or even death. According to the New York Department of Health, between the years 2012 and 2014, there were over 300 deaths per year from pedestrian vs. car accidents. Additionally, over 3,000 hospitalizations occurred each year due to pedestrian and vehicle accidents. If you have been hit by a car while in a crosswalk, parking lot, or some other area in Manhattan, you deserve justice, and compensation to help you get back on your feet again.

Common Injuries for Pedestrians Hit by a Car

• Crush injuries if the pedestrian is pinned between the vehicle and another object

When Pedestrian Accidents Result in Fatalities

As pedestrians are much more vulnerable than cars, these personal injury cases unfortunately often have devastating consequences. Hold those responsible accountable for their negligence by pursuing a claim against them that not only seeks to help you cover medical expenses, but also offers monetary aid to those left in the wake of a loved one’s untimely passing.
