Pedestrian Accident

New York Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Imagine you are walking down the street to go to the corner store, minding your own business.  You look both ways before you cross the street and you keep on walking, when, bam, you are hit by a car.  Pedestrian accidents like this happen all the time.  There are far more incompetent drivers out there than good ones.  As a result, it is far more dangerous to walk in a city today than it has ever been and pedestrians have to be very careful when they cross the street.  

Each year an estimated 110,000 people are hit by cars or experience some type of pedestrian accident that results in serious injury.  That’s more than 2,000 a week!  Head and spinal injuries, along with fractured bones, are the most common kinds of injuries experienced by pedestrians.

The threat of serious injury to pedestrians increases more and more each day.  With more cars, trucks and motorcycles on the road than ever before, pedestrians are literally sitting ducks to any kind of automobile.  Accidents are far more likely to occur, especially when the driver of a vehicle is momentarily distracted or inebriated.
 
Other kinds of accidents that may befall pedestrians include dropped objects near a construction site.  A pedestrian can be walking on a sidewalk adjacent to a construction site and have a hammer or other tool hit him or her on the head causing the pedestrian brain damage.  While this type of accident is not as common as vehicle-pedestrian accidents, it is still a valid accident and should be properly researched and investigated by an experienced accident attorney at The Orlow Firm

• Fractured hips and bones
