Pedestrian Accidents
Seeking Full Compensation for Pedestrians Injured in an Accident
Going for a walk on a Sunday afternoon ought to be a safe, enjoyable activity. Crossing the street on your way to work should be relatively risk-free as long as you are obeying basic rules and regulations. But, when a motorist is distracted or misjudges speed or distance, disaster can strike, leaving serious injury in its wake.
If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident through no fault of your own, you have a right to seek compensation for your injuries and their effect on your life.

Holding the Negligent Party Accountable
One of the biggest fears a pedestrian accident victims and their families face is how to pay for mounting medical bills, such as those associated with a head injury.
Do not give health insurance information to hospitals or health care providers. These injuries were not your fault. You should not be held responsible for the costs resulting from them. Let us hold the at-fault party accountable.
In the case of a pedestrian accident caused by a negligent motorist, the driver's auto insurance is primarily responsible for covering your medical expenses. However, insurance companies do not necessarily have your best interests in mind when offering a settlement amount. If you are dissatisfied with their compensation offer, having a knowledgeable attorney on your side can prove very beneficial during the negotiation process.
We Do Not Settle for Second Best
The lawyers of Foley, Griffin, Jacobson & Faria, LLP are skilled in dealing with insurance companies on behalf of our clients. If your injuries meet New York threshold requirements, they will work with insurers to help you obtain the best possible settlement. If the final offer doesn't meet expectations, they are fully prepared to pursue a lawsuit.
If you have been injured in a pedestrian accident or lost a loved one in case of wrongful death, we will thoroughly investigate the accident and assist you in securing compensation for brain injuries, damage to limbs and other serious physical injuries.
