Pedestrian Crashes in New York
Everyone should be able to use the road without fear of suffering a serious injury. Sadly, pedestrians are significantly more likely to sustain possibly fatal injuries in an automobile accident.

Every year, the state reports more than 3,000 hospital admissions, 15,000 injuries, and 300 fatalities involving pedestrian accidents. New York is a city driven by pedestrian traffic, and roadway safety is crucial. In the event of a catastrophic collision, you should be prepared to defend your legal rights.
