Frequently Asked Questions
Immediately after a pedestrian accident, prioritize your safety and well-being. Seek medical attention for any injuries, call law enforcement to document the incident, gather contact information from witnesses, and take photos of the accident scene if possible. It's also crucial to refrain from discussing fault or accepting blame.
Liability in a pedestrian accident depends on various factors, including the actions of the driver, pedestrian, and any third parties involved. Generally, drivers owe a duty of care to pedestrians. They may be liable for negligence if they fail to exercise reasonable caution, such as speeding, distracted driving, or disobeying traffic laws.
The statute of limitations for filing a pedestrian accident claim varies by state. In New York, for instance, the statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of the accident. It's essential to consult with a pedestrian accident attorney promptly to ensure compliance with deadlines.
Many pedestrian accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay legal fees if they successfully recover your compensation. This arrangement enables individuals of all financial backgrounds to afford experienced legal representation without upfront costs.
Compensation in a pedestrian accident claim may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and property damage. Additionally, depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible for punitive damages if the driver's conduct was particularly egregious.
Proving fault in a pedestrian accident typically involves gathering evidence such as eyewitness testimonies, surveillance footage, police reports, and expert analysis of the accident scene. An experienced pedestrian accident attorney can help you navigate the legal process and establish liability.
Yes, you may still pursue a pedestrian accident claim even if you were partially at fault for the accident. New York follows a comparative negligence system, allowing you to recover compensation proportionate to the other party's fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your degree of fault.
If the driver who hit you fled the accident scene, it's crucial to report the incident to law enforcement immediately. Additionally, seek medical attention for your injuries and gather any available evidence, such as witness statements or surveillance footage, to assist in identifying the driver.
Yes, you may still be able to file a pedestrian accident claim if you were jaywalking at the time of the accident. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your comparative negligence. It's essential to consult with a pedestrian accident attorney to discuss the specifics of your case.
If a pedestrian accident occurs in a crosswalk with the "walk" signal, the pedestrian generally has the right of way, and the driver may be liable for failing to yield. However, liability can vary depending on the circumstances, so it's essential to consult with a pedestrian accident attorney to evaluate your case.
