  • Failure to yield at crosswalks or intersections
  • Speeding in residential or high traffic areas

Frequently Asked Questions

Pedestrian Knockdown Injuries

In New York, the insurance company for the vehicle that hit you usually pays for your initial medical expenses and lost wages through No-Fault coverage. This remains true even if the driver was not entirely at fault. You must file a No-Fault application within a short timeframe after the accident to protect your right to these benefits.

Yes, being outside of a crosswalk does not automatically prevent you from seeking compensation. New York follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the accident. We work to show that the driver should have seen you and taken action to avoid the collision.

If you are the victim of a hit-and-run accident, you may still have options for financial recovery. You might be able to file a claim through your own auto insurance policy under supplemental uninsured motorist coverage. If you do not have insurance, there are special programs in New York that provide benefits for victims of unidentified drivers. Our attorneys can help you explore every available path for compensation.
