Pedestrian Accidents

New York City Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

As the oldest form of human transportation, walking is a healthy, cost-effective alternative to driving or taking a taxi, not to mention a great way to explore New York City. However, reckless and negligent motor vehicle operators and bicyclists can put pedestrians in great danger. A driver or bicyclist may not understand the right-of-way at crosswalks, stop signs or red lights.

Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents

It is a common belief that the pedestrian is rarely at fault in an accident. Indeed, it is true that the majority of accidents involving pedestrians are due to the driver’s negligence rather than the pedestrian’s. Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

• Failure to yield the right of way
• Failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign
• Failure to stop before turning right on red
• Failure to stop at a crosswalk
• Driving too fast down neighborhood streets
