The road should be accessible to all without the threat of catastrophic injury. Unfortunately, in a car accident, pedestrians have a much higher chance of suffering potentially catastrophic injuries. According to data, pedestrians are involved in a disproportionately high number of traffic deaths in New York. There are over 3,000 hospital admissions, over 15,000 injuries, and over 300 pedestrian fatalities reported annually across the state. Pedestrian safety is important in New York City. Because pedestrians are not built to resist the impact of an automobile crash, you should be ready to protect your legal rights in the event of a serious accident.
