Pedestrian Accidents in New York
Pedestrians are a part of the very fabric of New York, and many city residents choose to get around on foot. However, this exposes them to serious injury in the event of a collision. Statistics show that about 8,000 pedestrians lost their lives on American roadways in 2021. This equates to one fatality every 66 minutes. Additionally, in 2020, there were nearly 104,000 emergency room visits involving pedestrians receiving care for injuries sustained in non-fatal crashes. Pedestrians made up one out of every six fatalities in collisions in 2021. Pedestrian accidents are much more likely to result in life-changing injuries, as they have limited protection in the event of a crash. You should always partner with a trained lawyer to pursue a strong personal injury claim.
