If you live in the New York City metropolitan area, you know that walking down the street or in a crosswalk can often be a harrowing experience. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 5,376 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in the United States in 2015. This averages to a pedestrian traffic related death occurring once every 1.6 hours. The majority of pedestrian accidents occur in urban areas like New York City. When there’s nothing between you and a moving vehicle, even if it’s moving slowly, your injuries can be serious and even catastrophic. In fact, the CDC study showed that a pedestrian had a much greater chance of being killed in a car accident than a passenger.
If you or a loved one suffered injuries in a pedestiran accident, you might be wondering how to proceed with your case and whether you might be entitled to recover damages to help cover losses you have incurred.

A pedestrian accident is an accident in which a pedestrian is hit by a motor vehicle, including a car, truck, or motorcycle. Frequently, injuries sustained by pedestrian accident victims are severe or life-threatening.
A pedestrian is a person commuting on foot or by wheelchair. The streets of New York City are lined with pedestrians. Despite extensive efforts by the New York City Department of Transportation to make streets safer for pedestrians, each year hundreds are seriously injured, and even killed, commuting on foot.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pedestrians most at risk are children, older adults, or those under the influence of alcohol.
Other causes of pedestrian accidents include:
Oresky & Associates, PLLC has helped thousands of accident victims build their cases and establish fault, and we can help you with your case too. We can gather evidence to prove the driver’s negligence and the true causes of the accident. Let us gather evidence that may include accident reports, witness statements, photographs, video surveillance footage, and more. We can even work with accident reconstruction specialists to help you prove liability for your injuries.
Multiple factors are taken into account when calculating pain and suffering. The extent of an injury greatly influences pain and suffering compensation. Severe injuries may have longer recovery times and may lead to a loss in “quality of life,” which could affect pain and suffering. In some instances, that loss in quality of life can be permanent, such as in the case of an injury that causes permanent disability.
Other variables can affect pain and suffering damages too.
Yes. If you can prove that the driver caused your accident and injuries, you can sue. Drivers not abiding by driving laws or not taking proper care (such as driving while distracted) are negligent drivers.
Under New York law, drivers generally must yield to pedestrians, but in some cases a driver will argue that a pedestrian is at fault or partially at fault for an accident. If you were injured in a pedestrian accident and the driver or an insurance company told you that you are to blame, speak to a pedestrian accident attorney in New York City from Oresky & Associates, PLLC.
Insurance adjusters may reach out to accident victims to speak with them about the accident and how it happened. It is important to remember that the insurance adjuster is not a neutral party. They are making decisions to save the insurance company money and that often includes minimizing the settlement value. You have rights.
We can prepare your case against allegations of partial fault for the accident and fight for the compensation you deserve. We prepare your case for trial from the beginning. If an insurance company or other party refuses to reach a fair settlement, we will proceed to trial, present evidence of the driver’s liability, and fight allegations of comparative fault.
