Representing Pedestrian Accident Victims

A majority of the people who are injured in pedestrian accidents are children and seniors. Ensuring that an elder or child in your family receives the medical care they need following an accident can make a difference in how long it takes for them to recover. It can even prevent them from suffering permanent disabilities. Even if a pedestrian is in perfect health, the effects of an accident can still be permanently damaging, and at The Odierno Law Firm, P.C., we believe that all victims of pedestrian accidents in the Long Island area deserve compensation and justice. Our legal team will use testimony from medical experts when preparing your claim and seek maximum compensation to cover expenses.

Common Pedestrian Injuries Include:

• Hospitalization
• Medical treatment
• Rehabilitation
• Home care
• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma

Determining Fault in Pedestrian Accidents

New York law states that pedestrians injured in an accident are entitled to varying degrees of compensation depending on the causes of the accident and which part is determined to be at fault. While in many cases it is clear which party is at fault and compensation is distributed accordingly, some situations fall into legal grey areas, where both parties or even no party can be found at fault, and you could find yourself receiving less compensation depending on the degree to which you are found responsible for the accident. Under New York law, pedestrians are always entitled to some form of compensation, even if they are at fault, our attorneys can help you receive the highest possible payment.

Examples of Negligent Pedestrian Behavior that Could Cause an Accident Include:

• Disobeying traffic signals
• Jaywalking
• Walking along highways or other non-pedestrian paths

• Driving under the influence
• Disobeying traffic laws, signs, or speed limits
