How a Pedestrian Accident Attorney Can Help You

Crossing Accident Involving Undocumented Latino Worker: $550,000 💰

In most cases, the pedestrian has the right of way, and the vehicle’s driver must yield when someone crosses the street. When this does not happen, it becomes a straightforward case of failure to yield to the pedestrian.

▻ However, some cases are more complex.

Our client faced many challenges. He was an undocumented worker and was inebriated while crossing the street outside a designated crosswalk. And the accident left him with permanent traumatic brain injuries.

Despite these complications, Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers secured more than half a million dollars in compensation for this pedestrian accident for an undocumented client in Long Island, NY.

Don’t leave money on the table. If you were hit by a car or any other vehicle while on the street, call the pedestrian accident lawyers who know how to defend you—call the lawyers at Liga De Justicia.

New York Personal Injury Attorneys: What is a Pedestrian Hit by a Car Worth?

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

Determining the value of a personal injury claim for a pedestrian hit by a car, bus, truck, or motorcycle is not a simple process. We must assess the nature and extent of the injuries, the amount of recoverable economic losses, and the accident liability.

After all, New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This allows an injured party to recover damages even if they are partially at fault for the accident. However, their compensation is reduced in proportion to their degree of fault.

When evaluating a pedestrian accident claim’s worth, we must also consider the court where the trial will take place and the claimant’s prior injuries.

Long Island Crossing Accident Involving Undocumented Latino Worker: $550,000

Listen to the case as told by our very own Attorney Ferro.

💰 Our Personal Injury Lawyers Secure a $3,300,000 Settlement for a Pedestrian Accident in Long Island, NY

Our client, a 93-year-old woman, was struck by a bus while crossing the street. As a result, she suffered severe leg injuries and completely lost the ability to walk.

The bus driver claimed that the woman caused the accident by walking behind the bus.

During mediation, the defense argued that the case was worth less than $1 million due to our client’s age and life expectancy.

However, the partners at Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers successfully changed the outcome of the case, securing a settlement of $3,300,000 —substantially higher than their initial offer.

✅ As you can see, hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer is crucial when dealing with insurance companies.

Additionally, it is essential to work with lawyers specializing in pedestrian accidents. Your attorney must be well-versed in local court regulations and be ready to litigate if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement.

Our reputation as top litigation attorneys precedes us, which is why insurance companies voluntarily seek an opportunity to resolve cases before going to trial.

But if necessary, our accident and personal injury lawyers—backed by 36 years of litigation experience—are ready to take them to court.

In addition to having the best personal injury lawyers, our team works alongside criminal and immigration lawyers. Our Liga De Justicia Injury Lawyers will always protect you. Documented or not, you have rights.
No matter how difficult your case may be. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries after being hit by a car, motorcycle, or truck in the Bronx, NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, or Long Island, call our pedestrian accident lawyers for a FREE and confidential case assessment.
Don’t lose your right to compensation. Act now.

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.

In New York State, these claims cover medical bills and expenses, and other damages, regardless of who caused the accident. You must file a claim for this type of accident with the insurance company of the at-fault driver’s car.

➡️ Another possible way for pedestrians to recover damages is through their own insurance if their UM/SUM (uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist). Coverage limits are higher than those of the at-fault car, truck or motorcycle’s insurance.

This also applies in hit-and-run cases where the driver flees the scene. It’s the victim’s own supplementary coverage.

➡️ In New York, when injuries are serious and exceed the coverage provided by PIP, filing a lawsuit for the pedestrian accident becomes an option. You may even be entitled to compensation for past and future pain and suffering.

Our pedestrian accident lawyers will seek to recover this for you, as these accidents often have devastating consequences for victims.

➡️ Our lawyers and expert investigators will analyze and reconstruct the accident scene after conducting a thorough investigation. This will help us define who could be liable for your injuries, and ensure you receive all the money you are owed.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Knockdown Accidents in New York

Pedestrian accidents are often caused by negligent drivers. Common factors include speeding, running traffic signals, and failing to yield the right of way—especially to pedestrians in crosswalks when making left turns.

In recent years, distracted driving has become the leading cause of motor vehicle accidents in New York. This frequently involves drivers using cell phones, texting, or simply not paying attention to the road, putting pedestrians at serious risk.

Our office handles a significant number of cases involving:

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

While pedestrians can be partially or fully at fault, drivers have a legal duty to avoid collisions with pedestrians. Liability may boil down to whether the driver had enough time to avoid the impact.

🚑 What if I Was Hit by a Car While Working?

If you were injured while on the job, you can recover your medical expenses, treatment costs and lost wages through a workers’ compensation claim. But that’s not the only compensation you may receive. 👈

➤ Before accepting any agreement or signing any document from the car, motorcycle or truck insurance company, speak with our pedestrian accident lawyers. Don’t let them lowball you or leave money on the table.

In New York, drivers must carry liability insurance coverage for traffic accidents. However, standard policy limits are often not enough to compensate an injured victim who has been hit by a motor vehicle. Therefore, we must explore other avenues for recovery.

The at-fault driver may be covered under a family member’s insurance policy, their employer’s policy, a car rental company’s coverage or an umbrella policy.

Additionally, other individuals or government entities may be liable for the collision. 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.

Steps to Take After a Pedestrian Accident

📌 Do not discuss your case with the insurance company without first consulting with a lawyer. Get a free and confidential case evaluation by calling the experienced pedestrian accident attorneys at Liga De Justicia.

The insurance company –whether for a car, motorcycle or truck– will immediately launch an investigation into the accident. Their goal is clear: to pay the lowest possible amount to the injured pedestrian.

Insurers follow very strict, elaborate procedures when handling pedestrian accident claims. They will:

Take recorded statements from those involved
Interrogate witnesses
Collect photographs
Obtain the police report
Assess the value of the injuries suffered by the beaten pedestrian.

All of this within the first week, if not within the first 24 hours following the collision between the pedestrian and the car, motorcycle or truck.

That’s why hiring a pedestrian accident lawyer immediately is crucial –and why you should never speak with the insurer without legal representation.

📍 Live in Suffolk, Nassau, Queens, the Bronx, Manhattan? Need to consult with 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. To this end, they will offer you a quick settlement. They want to avoid responsibility for future medical expenses, lost wages or lost income, and other damages.

🚨Do not fall for this trap.

Pedestrian accident injuries take months to fully evaluate. Victims may need surgeries, long-term treatments and physical therapy and the possible consequences can be lifelong.

The resulting injuries can leave a person permanently disabled even after corrective surgery.

Therefore, the true value of a pedestrian accident claim can only be determined after doctors provide a final and firm prognosis. This is the reason why pedestrian accidents can take very long to settle.
