In recent years, injury
and even death, to pedestrians
in automobile-related
accidents has increased
drastically due to increasing
use of vehicles for travel as
well as the number of them
on the road at a single time.
Add that to the foot traffic of
any street, major or small,
especially in the City of New
York, and it is a recipe for
disaster. In one year, 76,000
pedestrians were injured
in vehicle-related accidents,
which means that roughly
one pedestrian was injured
every 7 minutes.
Drivers of automobiles are
often at fault for accidents in
which pedestrians are injured.
Driver fault examples
include drinking or drug
use, inattention due to the
use of cell phones or other
devices, and speeding. Other
types of accidents where the
driver is at fault include not
yielding to pedestrians while
turning, running a light or
stop sign, failing to notice a
pedestrian, and driving on
the sidewalk, all causing injuries
to pedestrians. Even
pedestrians who bear some
negligence or fault for their
accident are usually entitled
to a recovery, which will be
reduced by the pedestrian’s
percentage of fault.
Although no-fault auto
insurance coverage covers
some medical expenses and
loss of wages, they usually
do not cover all the expenses
������������������������������������
involved for medical care
from some serious injuries
suffered in major accidents.
When the statutory requirement
for serious injuries
is met, an action can be
brought for compensation for
pain and suffering suffered
by a pedestrian in an auto
accident. No-fault benefits
usually cover up to $50,000
for medical expenses and
loss of wages. In addition to a
recovery for pain and suffering,
medical expenses and
loss of wages above the basis
of $50,000, no-fault limit can
be secured as well for victims
who suffer a “serious
injury.”
If you or a loved one were
the victim of a pedestrian
automobile accident, you
may be entitled to recover
damages in a lawsuit. You
should contact an attorney
immediately to discuss your
options.
