Pedestrian Accidents in New York
Everyone should be able to use the road without fear of serious injury. Sadly, pedestrians are significantly more likely to suffer possibly fatal injuries in a car accident. Data indicates that a significant number of traffic fatalities in New York involve pedestrians. Every year, there are more than 300 pedestrian fatalities, more than 15,000 injuries, and more than 3,000 hospital admissions in the state. The fact that pedestrians are still disproportionately represented in road deaths across the country highlights how important pedestrian safety has become. In the case of a significant pedestrian accident, you need to be prepared to defend your legal rights because pedestrians are not designed to withstand the impact of a car crash.
