What Is a Pedestrian Accident?

A pedestrian accident happens when someone walking is hit by a vehicle. This can occur on a sidewalk, at a crosswalk, or even in a parking lot. In the Bronx, these accidents can happen anywhere—near schools, parks, or busy streets.

How Can a Lawyer Help?

After an accident, you might feel lost or unsure of what to do next. A personal injury lawyer can help guide you through the process. They can:

  • Investigate the Accident: Find out exactly what happened and who is at fault.
  • Handle Insurance Companies: Deal with the insurance companies so you don’t have to.
  • Fight for Your Rights: Make sure you get the compensation you’re entitled to.

Common Serious Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrians are particularly vulnerable because there is nothing protecting them from a vehicle weighing thousands of pounds. This is why injuries from a pedestrian accident in the Bronx can be so severe. Serious injuries include:  

  • Broken bones
  • Brain injuries
  • Spine injuries
  • Psychological trauma
  • Death

What Causes Pedestrian Accidents?

Many pedestrian accidents happen because of driver negligence. Careless, distracted, or reckless driving are frequent causes. Things like:

  • Texting and driving
  • Drunk driving
  • Speeding
  • Failing to yield
  • Running red lights
  • Not stopping at a stop sign

Types of Compensation You Might Be Entitled To

If you’ve been injured, you might be able to get compensation for:

  • Medical Bills: Costs for doctor visits, hospital stays, and treatments.
  • Lost Wages: Money lost if you can’t work because of your injury.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
  • Future Expenses: Costs for ongoing treatment or therapy.

New York law allows you to seek compensation even if you were partly at fault, though the amount you get when you are partially at fault will be reduced based on the percentage of fault assigned to you.
