Pedestrian Accidents in New York
To prevent people from suffering catastrophic injuries, there are laws governing driving behavior. Unfortunately, in a traffic accident, pedestrians are far more likely to sustain potentially fatal injuries. Statistics show that pedestrians are involved in a significant percentage of road deaths in New York. Across the state, there are annually over 300 pedestrian deaths, over 15,000 injuries, and over 3,000 hospital admissions. Pedestrians continue to be over-represented in national traffic fatalities, showing just how serious of an issue pedestrian safety has become. Because pedestrians cannot withstand the force of an automobile collision, you need to be ready to protect your legal rights in the event of a major pedestrian accident.
