What Clients Say About Working with Jacoby & Meyers
New York City Pedestrian Accident Attorney FAQ
You should seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to police, document the scene if possible, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters before consulting a lawyer.
Possibly. Drivers still have a duty to exercise reasonable care and avoid hitting pedestrians. The specific facts of the accident will determine how liability is evaluated.
Hit-and-run pedestrian accidents are unfortunately common in New York City. Even if the driver is not immediately identified, there may still be insurance options available depending on the circumstances.
New York law limits the amount of time you have to file a claim. Certain deadlines may apply sooner depending on the facts of the case and whether a government entity is involved.
Every pedestrian accident case is different. The value of your claim depends on factors such as the severity of injuries, future medical needs, lost income, and whether permanent impairments are involved.
