Pedestrian Accidents on Long Island
Pedestrians who are struck by cars, trucks, or other vehicles on Long Island often face severe injuries, extensive medical treatment, and time away from work. These crashes frequently occur at busy intersections, in crosswalks, and near train stations or school zones, where drivers may be distracted or fail to yield the right of way. When we handle a claim arising from a pedestrian collision, we look closely at traffic camera footage, police reports, and witness statements to understand exactly how the impact happened and who should be held responsible. If you are searching for a pedestrian accident attorney Long Island residents can turn to for attentive, personalized guidance, we are prepared to walk you through each step of the legal process.
Because New York is a no-fault state, some medical expenses may initially be covered by insurance attached to the vehicle, but that coverage is often not enough in serious pedestrian cases. We carefully evaluate whether additional claims can be made against negligent drivers, employers, or even municipalities when road design or signage may have contributed to the crash. For collisions that occur near major routes such as the Long Island Expressway, Northern State Parkway, or Sunrise Highway, multiple insurers and policy layers can be involved, and we take the time to identify every potential source of recovery. By coordinating with your treating providers and reviewing records from local hospitals and clinics, we work to present a complete picture of how the incident has changed your life now and in the future.
