NYC Pedestrian Knockdown Attorneys

New York City Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

All five boroughs of the city are flooded with tourists, cabdrivers, delivery vehicles, cyclists and people rushing from place to place every day. In Manhattan, the sidewalks are jammed with pedestrian traffic, and your head needs to be on a swivel most days just to make it to work safely. If you or a loved one has been hit while crossing a street, hailing a cab, crossing a parking garage ramp entrance/exit or even just standing innocently on the sidewalk, our lawyers may be able to help you obtain injury compensation.

Sidewalk, parking lot and crosswalk accidents are common. At The Eskesen Law Firm, we have handled many pedestrian accident cases throughout New York. As your counsel, we will devote our work to your fullest possible recovery and will work tirelessly in your best interests.

Injury Compensation In Your Case

Being hit by a motor vehicle is traumatic, and you want to be sure that you are receiving top-tier medical care for injuries and psychological trauma caused by the accident. The costs of medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering may be recoverable in a well-built and properly investigated personal injury claim against a negligent or reckless driver. Furthermore, punitive damages may be available if we can prove that the vehicle driver acted recklessly or intentionally meant to harm you.

Fault In A Pedestrian Accident Case

A motor vehicle driver who hits a pedestrian is at fault in most cases. Just because a driver did not see you, and even if you were jaywalking, that driver can still be held accountable for hitting you. Our team fully investigates the cases we handle, reconstructing accident scenes, taking pictures, gathering witness statements and valuing your short- and long-term injuries in collaboration with medical experts.

It is critical to retain a pedestrian accident attorney in New York City who is familiar with the city, the court system, insurance laws and statutes of limitations.
