Can a Pedestrian Claim from Car Insurance?

📌 Personal injury claims are covered by the PIP (Personal Injury Protection) of the at-fault vehicle’s insurance policy.

These claims cover medical bills and other damages, regardless of who caused the accident. You’ll have to file a claim with the insurance company of the at-fault driver.

📌 You could also recover damages through your own insurance via the UM/SUM (uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist).

It’s the victim’s own supplementary coverage. Coverage limits are usually higher than those of the at-fault car, truck or bike’s insurance.

This also applies in hit-and-run cases.

📌 If injuries are catastrophic and surpass the PIP coverage limit, you can file a lawsuit. You may even be entitled to compensation for past and future pain and suffering, given that these types of accidents can have life-altering effects on victims.

Our experienced pedestrian accident attorneys are committed to pursuing this on your behalf.

📌 Our lawyers and expert investigators will scrutinize and reconstruct the accident scene after carrying out a detailed investigation. We’ll identify who may be responsible for your injuries, and pursue all the compensation you deserve.

Average Payout For Pedestrian Hit By a Car in Long Island

The average pedestrian accident settlement in Long Island generally ranges from $10,000 to $500,000.

Determining the value of an injury claim for a pedestrian hit by a vehicle is not a simple process. We must assess:

  • the nature and extent of the injuries
  • the amount of recoverable economic losses
  • the accident liability

The type of vehicle will also have an impact. It’s not the same to be hit by a car, bus, truck, or a motorcycle.

The state of New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that an injured individual can still receive compensation even if they share some responsibility for the accident. But, the amount they receive will be decreased based on their percentage of fault.

We should also factor in the court where the trial is set to happen and the claimant’s past injuries.

Danger in Nassau County: Knockdown Accidents in Hempstead Turnpike

Some of the dangers of this 16-mile road include:

  • many areas of low visibility due to bridges, slopes and curves on the road

The Hempstead Turnpike runs through Elmont, Hempstead Village, East Meadow, Levittown, Wantagh, Farmingdale and Franklin Square in Nassau County.

What if I Was Working When Struck by a Car?

Hurt while on the job? We’ll seek reimbursement for your medical bills, treatment costs, and lost earnings via a workers’ compensation claim. But you could potentially receive more.

➤ DON’T agree to any contract or sign any paperwork from the car, motorcycle, or truck insurance provider. Talk to our pedestrian accident attorneys first. Don’t let them lowball you or miss out on additional financial recovery.

Long Island drivers must maintain liability insurance coverage for any traffic-related incidents. But, the typical policy limits frequently fall short of adequately compensating a victim injured by a motor vehicle collision. We must explore other avenues for recovery.

The driver responsible for the accident may have coverage under:

  • a family member’s insurance policy
  • their employer’s policy
  • a car rental company’s insurance
  • an umbrella policy

Additionally, other individuals or government entities may be liable for the crash. For example, if a malfunctioning traffic light contributed to the crash, the city or county may be responsible.

📌 In these cases, the deadline for filing the mandatory notification with the government entity is very short.

You must act quickly.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Knockdown Accidents in Long Island

Pedestrian accidents are commonly the result of negligent drivers. Typical reasons involve excessive speed, disregarding traffic signals, and not yielding the right of way —particularly to pedestrians in crosswalks during left turns.

Distracted driving has become the foremost cause of vehicle accidents in Nassau and Suffolk County. Drivers on their cell phones, texting, or not focusing on the road pose a significant danger to pedestrians.

Our office deals with a large number of cases concerning:

  • Pedestrians hit by taxis
  • Distracted driving accidents
  • Drunk driving collisions
  • Failure to obey traffic signals
  • Failure to yield to pedestrians
  • Fatal accidents
  • Wrongful death claims

Although pedestrians may share some or all of the blame, drivers are legally obligated to prevent accidents involving pedestrians. Determining liability may depend on whether the driver had adequate time to dodge the impact.

Steps to Follow After the Accident

📌 It’s important not to talk about your case with the insurance company before seeking advice from a lawyer. Call the experienced pedestrian accident lawyers at Liga De Justicia for a case evaluation.

The insurer –whether dealing with a car, motorcycle or truck– will launch an investigation into the accident right away. They want to pay the lowest possible amount to the beaten pedestrian.

Insurers adhere to detailed and rigorous protocols when managing pedestrian claims. They will:

  • Take recorded statements
  • Interrogate witnesses
  • Collect photos and videos
  • Get the police report
  • Estimate the value of the harm suffered by the injured pedestrian.

All of this within the first week, if not the same day after the incident with the car, motorcycle or truck.

That’s why hiring a pedestrian accident lawyer immediately is crucial –and why you should never talk to the insurance company without legal representation.

📍 Live in Suffolk, Nassau, Queens? Are you searching for the best pedestrian accident lawyer to discuss your case at no cost or obligation? Call us today.

As we mentioned earlier, the insurance company’s goal is to pay as little as possible. They will offer you a fast settlement. They don’t want to be on the hook for future medical expenses, lost wages or lost income, and other damages.

🚨Don’t fall for this tactic.

These injuries take months to heal and fully evaluate their impact. Victims may need surgeries, long treatments, and physical therapy. And the consequences could change their lives.

A person could be left permanently disabled even after corrective surgery.

The worth of a pedestrian accident claim can only be known once doctors give a definitive prognosis. This is why pedestrian accidents can take very long to settle.
