Pedestrian accident lawyers in New York
A person on foot has no protection against a car or truck. If you were struck, we can review who was at fault and what comes next.
In a city people walk every day, a poorly marked crossing or a careless turn can cause serious injuries.
We review the exact point of impact, the available signage and the reports created to guide you on the next steps.
