Recoverable Damages for Pedestrian Accidents

Some unique factors can impact settlement amounts for pedestrian cases in New York. When you are on foot and part of an accident with other parties, their role deserves a thorough investigation. If another party’s reckless behavior or negligence caused you harm, you should not have to suffer without any recourse.

• Medical expenses
• Emergency medical treatments
• Prescription medications
• Rehabilitation programs
• Lost wages
• Personal property damage
• Physical therapy services

In addition to these damages, pain & suffering damages are recoverable via a third-party claim or lawsuit.

How Our Lawyers Can Serve You After a Pedestrian Case

You may be wondering how our lawyers can help after a pedestrian accident. Whether you were part of an accident or some other incident, our team will begin to represent your position by investigating the accident in great detail.

This means we will look at:

• The role of other parties
• The condition of the area in which the injury occurred
• Any other factors that can illuminate the cause of the accident

When serving you, our team will also provide you with updates on your case. Our lawyers make it our priority to communicate with other parties related to your case so that you do not have to. Even though you may not be in direct communication with other drivers and insurance companies involved in the event, you can expect regular communication from our team when we take you on as a client.

We are ready to represent you, just as we have with our past clients.

Hiring a Garden City Lawyer Handling Pedestrian Accident Cases to Represent You

When you work with a lawyer from our team, you do not have to concern yourself with paying any fees upfront. Our firm works on a contingency-fee-basis. Rather than charging you at the start of your case, our lawyers take fees from any recovery that we can obtain for you.

If you do not recover, we do not take payment. Because we work on a contingency fee model, you will not have to risk your funds before we represent you. We also offer free case consultations.

Navigating the New York Statute of Limitations

According to the New York personal injury statute of limitations put forth in CVP §214, you generally have a period of up to three years after an incident to take legal action by filing a lawsuit.

However, some notable exceptions can shorten your window of opportunity, such as suing a municipality or when pursuing a wrongful death action. By contacting our team right away after a pedestrian accident, you can rely on us to begin representing you as you begin the road to recovery.

Our team understands the pressure you are likely facing after a pedestrian injury. When you work with us, we will strive to take this pressure off of you. After all, your return to health is the most important thing when facing a personal injury and other losses.

Determining Liability and Eligibility for Potential Financial Compensation

Our team will investigate the incident to establish a liable party and hold them accountable in building your case. Several details can place liability on one or more parties when pedestrians suffer harm.

For example, the following are all common sources of liability in pedestrian accidents in New York:

• Driver errors
• Walking conditions
• Road conditions
• Sidewalk hazards

As the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) shows, in the year 2019 alone, 268 pedestrians required medical treatment in emergency rooms for non-fatal crash-related injuries.

Statistics like these show how devastating pedestrian-related accidents can be for those involved. The last thing you deserve is to suffer further legal and financial trouble after sustaining injuries in (or losing a loved one to) an accident.
