Pedestrian Accidents in New York 

Pedestrians have particular risks on our roads, especially in New York City and other large cities throughout the state. Because pedestrians have virtually no protection from harm, they are more likely to be seriously injured or even killed in the event of an accident. In 2021, it was reported that 8.9% of all motor vehicle accidents that took place in the city involved pedestrians. In that year, over 7,205 pedestrians sustained injuries, and 125 lost their lives. Being hurt in a pedestrian accident can have a huge and lasting impact on your life, which is why you should speak with an attorney soon after you have been hurt.

Because New York City is a city of pedestrians, it is no surprise that these accidents have been increasing on our roads over recent years. Though walking is a healthy way to enjoy New York, it also comes with its dangers.
