Pedestrian Accidents in New York 

Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable parties on our roads in the state of New York. This means that, in the event of an accident, they are more likely to become injured or killed due to the fact that they have no protection from harm. In one recent year’s time in New York, it was reported that approximately 300 pedestrians were killed, and 15,000 people sustained injuries in these accidents. If you have been hurt in a pedestrian accident that is not your fault, you should speak with an attorney that you can trust.
