Pedestrians have little protection when they are struck by a car, truck, bus, taxi, rideshare vehicle, or delivery vehicle. These accidents can cause serious injuries in seconds and leave victims facing medical bills, missed work, and pressure from insurance companies. Edward R. Young & Associates represents injured pedestrians throughout Brooklyn, the Bronx, West Babylon, and surrounding New York communities.
Pedestrian accidents can happen in crosswalks, intersections, parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and other areas where vehicles and people share space. These claims often involve questions about driver negligence, right of way, speed, visibility, distraction, traffic signals, and unsafe road conditions.
Edward R. Young & Associates works to investigate the accident, gather evidence, review medical records, deal with insurance companies, and build a claim that reflects the full impact of your injuries.
Our firm handles pedestrian accident claims involving:
Pedestrians struck by motor vehicles may be entitled to No-Fault benefits for medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. If the injuries are serious, the pedestrian may also have the right to bring a personal injury claim against the negligent driver or another responsible party.
Because deadlines and insurance requirements can affect your claim, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after the accident.
