Pedestrian Knockdown Accidents

Pedestrian knockdown – the legal term for an accident in which a person is struck by a motor vehicle – occurs once every 8 minutes in the U.S. New York City, with its density of population, and a subway and walking way of life that is so common for many, is a prime location for pedestrian accidents and injuries.

Injured pedestrians deserve a caring and qualified lawyer to assess circumstances, collect evidence and negotiate with or litigate against insurance companies that deploy tactics to deny claims. At Greenberg Law P.C., we know how to fight for your rights. Our goal will be to get justice for you along with maximum available compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Who Should Compensate You?

Determining who was liable is important for the pursuit of compensation for an injured pedestrian’s medical expenses and other losses. The law identifies pedestrian knockdowns as crashes – not accidents – because safe driving can prevent them. Some key points to consider during a pedestrian accident include the following:

• It’s considered a crime to hit a pedestrian who has the right of way in a crosswalk.
• Drivers must be vigilant while navigating areas where foot traffic and vehicle traffic coexist.
• Negligence behind the wheel may involve distracted driving, speeding or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

If we represent you after a pedestrian accident, we will fight to get justice for you along with maximum available compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
