Pedestrian Statistics Indicate Increased Accidents on Staten Island

Staten Island pedestrian accident

STATEN ISLAND, NY – According to Silive.com, Staten Island experienced a jump in the number of pedestrian accidents in January of 2019 over last year. In 2018, 24 pedestrians were hurt in traffic accidents in Staten Island between January 1st and February 3rd. Within the same time frame in 2019, there were 49 injuries.

Only Staten Island and Queens experienced higher numbers of pedestrian incidents this year over last year, but in Staten Island, the increase amounted to greater than 100 percent. The increase in Queens was comparatively modest, with only a 15 percent rise in injured pedestrians.

The city’s other boroughs saw a decrease of 3 percent or more this year.

The North Shore is where the largest number of accidents have occurred. The same area was found to be the most dangerous last year. The leading cause of accidents was driver inattention followed by failure to yield. In comparing collisions in 2018 and 2019, a larger percentage of the collisions occurred this year.
The statistics indicate the disparity between various parts of the city. While traffic-related fatalities are down across the city, the improvements are not the same across all areas.

In 2017, New York had fewer pedestrian deaths than in any year on record. In 2018, that number increased by only a small amount but remained much lower than when the program was instituted. If the city is going to meet its objective to eliminate all traffic-related deaths, there are certain areas, including those in Staten Island, that need to be the focus of intersection design efforts and other safety improvement methods.

5 Star Reviews 150
It is still early in the process for me and I have been kept abreast of matters effecting my case by Jillian, my case manager and Cathy, my paralegal. One aspect of the firm that I had not anticipated was the care and concern shown for my well being by Joanne, the nurse. PARKER WAICHMAN LLC is my law firm and I am glad I contacted them to work on my case. Update: Denny Tang, Esq., handled my case with updates to me throughout the process. He appears genuinely caring about his clients and that quality is priceless. Jillian Cantinieri, Legal Secretary, was initially my go to contact at the firm and performed her duties in a stellar manner. She is an exemplary employee and I am very pleased Jill was assigned to my case.

I am currently a client of Parker Waichman and have been extremely happy with the firm's service. Christina Morace is my paralegal who has help make this experience ( the 911 process- Victim's Compensation Fund) easier, stress-free, and pleasant. and is a joy to work with. She has gone above and beyond her duties. Without her guidance, and support I wouldn't have been able to have gone through this. I am so grateful to her and highly recommend this firm.
