On the congested, busy streets of New York City, pedestrians are forced to share space with speeding cars, taxicabs and large trucks. If you have been injured by a careless car or truck driver while crossing the street, you have the right to file a claim seeking monetary compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
At TROLMAN GLASER CORLEY & LICHTMAN, P.C., we have helped people throughout New York for more than 50 years. If you have been injured while walking on the streets of New York City, we can help.
HAVE YOU BEEN INJURED WHILE ON FOOT?
Injuries from a pedestrian accident, including broken bones, head injuries and spinal cord injuries, can be very severe and can lead to paralysis and even wrongful death. Pedestrian accidents can take many forms, including:
- Crosswalk accidents
- Hit-and-run accidents
- Bicycles hitting pedestrians
- Collisions in parking lots
- Taxicab collisions with pedestrians
- Truck accidents, including cars or trucks backing up into pedestrians
- Bus accidents involving pedestrians
- Pedestrians hit by garbage trucks
- Pedestrians hit in high-speed police chases
When you have been involved in a car accident or struck by any kind of motor vehicle or bike, the insurance company may attempt to settle your claim for a fraction of what it is worth, or even for nothing at all. Never accept an offer from an insurance company before speaking with an experienced personal injury lawyer. We have more than 50 years of experience dealing with insurance companies and know how to value your case. When you've been injured, we put our knowledge and experience to work for you to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
