If you’re pursuing a Queens pedestrian accident claim for fair compensation, it’s important to understand how these cases are handled. Pedestrians are still subject to the state’s no-fault insurance laws, but pedestrian accident cases are treated differently. The victim of a pedestrian accident can file a claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company for medical bills, lost wages, and other reasonable expenses. If the insurance policy includes supplemental coverage, that may also be available to the accident victim.
The injured pedestrian can also file a claim under their Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance coverage.
If you plan on filing a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent driver, you must prove that the individual was at fault for the accident. At Parker Waichman LLP, our Queens pedestrian accident lawyers can help you gather important evidence, such as witness statements, medical records, and the police report, to help prove liability. Our legal team also works closely with accident reconstructionists, medical specialists, forensic accountants, and private investigators to establish liability, determine how the accident occurred, and accurately assess damages.
To avoid car crashes, New York has implemented laws that govern the behavior of pedestrians and motorists.
These laws include:
Even when all traffic rules are obeyed, pedestrian accidents can still happen.
