Man in Critical Condition After Brooklyn Hit-and-Run in Brooklyn, NY

Surveillance videos

SUNSET PARK, NY – According to Abc7ny.com, a man sustained critical injuries when he was hit by a vehicle in Brooklyn on Monday, January 14, 2019, at about 1 in the morning. The driver who hit the victim then fled the scene.

The victim was identified as Fernando Trejo, 27. Trejo was found lying in the street injured after the crash. Trejo was taken to the NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn where his condition was described a critical. Reports indicate that the victim will likely survive.

The police are now seeking surveillance videos from the area that might show what transported at the time of the crash.

The victim’s family is asking that someone come forward with information about what happened to their loved one. The victim’s brother, Erick Trejo, says that the family wants the person responsible to face justice.

Erick stated that his brother was capable of hearing his family but could not yet speak.

The police are seeking any information about the crash. Witnesses or people with information about the incident are being asked to contact the police department’s Crime Stoppers Hotline.

Hit-and-run crashes are a problem for New York City where Mayor Bill de Blasio has been working to prevent traffic accident fatalities. While the city’s efforts through Vision Zero have been successful in lowering the number of motor vehicle-related deaths in the city, the number of hit-and-run crashes has remained high, and the arrest rate for this crime has remained low. In part, this could be because resources for these investigations are limited. The city is implementing an early alert system which requests help from the public in providing information immediately following serious hit-and-run crashes.

Parker Waichman was extremely professional and helpful in handling our WTC case. Benita Rollis, in particular, was amazing in helping us complete all the necessary steps and paper work for our claim. She was always quick to return phone calls and reach out to keep us posted on how things were progressing. Not only was Benita efficient and professional, she was also very compassionate in helping us through the emotional side of this long process. Carolyn Corcoran & Family

My experience with Parker Waichman was very professional and thorough from the first day I met with Gerard Ryan regarding my 9/11 claim. He explained in detail how the process works. The paralegals on my case were wonderful in instructing me how to gather my information and what to do at the different stages of the claim. I first worked with Christina Morace followed by Shelly Davis and concluded with Gina Viti. Each of these women was very detailed and helpful in instructing me on what I needed to do. They were very professional, kind and pleasant in all my telephone conversations with them. I must give extra credit to Christina the first person that communicated with me after meeting with Gerard. At a certain stage Shelly Davis began working with me and I found her to be very professional, pleasant and detailed in her instructions. The final stage of the claim I worked with Gina who was also very kind and pleasant. It would have been a pleasure if I had met them in person. Thanks to each of them my case was successfully filed and accepted. Thanks Parker Waichman. Great job Gerald, Christine, Shelly and Gina. No hesitation in recommending you.
