Manhattan Pedestrian Accident Lawsuit

According to a news report on nydailynews.com, a motor vehicle collision involving two motor vehicles caused the vehicles to crash into a fruit stand and a Manhattan outdoor dining area.  The accident injured two children and seven adults.  The news report states that a “seizure-stricken van driver” crashed with another motor vehicle, and the two vehicles collided with an outdoor dining area and a fruit stand.  Within just a few seconds, there were eight people injured in by the flying debris Friday morning.

The 44-year-old fruit stand owner stated that he was “in shock” the hours after the 8:45 a.m. collision.  He also stated that he had just been standing with customers where the collision occurred.  He said, “I just thank God we are still alive.”

The accident injured two children and four adults who were on the street, plus the driver and a passenger inside a Toyota Camry that the van hit after his medical episode.

All the accident-injury victims were transported to Bellevue Hospital with injuries.  According to the news report, the van’s driver sustained another seizure after the accident and was hospitalized.

A fruit stand worker was also injured in their right leg, and eyewitnesses stated that the man was lucky to be alive.

Another witness, a 53-year-old man, who barely missed a flying piece of metal, stated that the van collided into the Crave Fishbar restaurant and was moving directly toward him before it collided into the black Toyota.  The witness stated that the black Toyota saved his life.

I have had such charming experiences when calling. Both Catherine Nunez and Jillian have been such great helps, they answer every question I may have and are always willing to help. This is my first time dealing with a law firm so was scared at first but they have both made this process so easy thus far. Great in every aspect. Also, the nurse consultant Joanne Stevens has been on top of my medical injuries & treatment making sure all that needs to get done is. They’ve all been making this process as smooth as they can for me.

The employees at Parker Waichman were extremely knowledgeable and very helpful in resolving all matters pertaining to my case. I consulted with several members of the Parker Waichman team throughout the process and I was extremely impressed with their knowledge and genuine concern for me as an individual. I worked extensively with Benita Rollis towards the end of my case. She was extremely professional and detail oriented. She was always there to answer any question I had no matter how insignificant it may have been. I could not have done it without Benita and Parker Waichman helping me navigate this process every step of the way. I would highly recommend Parker Waichman.
