FAQ & Answers From Our Pedestrian Accident Lawyers
This happened a while ago. Is it too late to file a lawsuit?
In New York, you typically have three years to file from the date of the accident. There are some exceptions to this general statute of limitations, though, when wrongful death, minors, and injuries that aren’t immediately apparent are involved.
I didn’t get the driver’s information. Can you still help me?
Yes, our attorneys know how to find the driver’s information. Our lawyers can acquire valuable evidence caught by traffic cameras, security footage, and even eyewitnesses to build your case. Even with Midtown Manhattan’s bustling activity and density, our pedestrian accident attorneys work hard to recover crucial documentation.
I was struck by a vehicle, but I was jaywalking. Do I still have a case?
Yes, despite jaywalking being illegal, you may be able to seek compensation. New York follows pure comparative negligence rules, which means if we prove the motorist was driving recklessly, they may be partially liable for damages.
Will my case go to trial?
Most pedestrian accident cases are settled through negotiations and do not go to trial. However, if disagreements over liability or the severity of your injuries are substantial enough, our personal injury attorneys won’t hesitate to represent you in court.
