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, you may have the right to seek compensation for your injuries and their effect on your life.

At the Nassau County and Suffolk County, New York law offices of Foley Griffin, LLP, we seek maximum recovery for victims of pedestrian accidents and hit-and-runs. Contact us to schedule a free consultation with one of our experienced lawyers. Se habla español.

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.

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.
