Pedestrian accidents are common in a borough as busy as Brooklyn. Unfortunately, even if you are cautious while roaming the streets of Brooklyn, the possibility of being struck by a car or other vehicle remains. You may be entitled to compensation if you are ever injured as a result of someone else’s negligence.

What You Need to Know About Brooklyn Pedestrian Accidents

The importance of keeping an eye out for hazards in Brooklyn cannot be overstated. Statistics indicate pedestrian deaths in New York City are on the rise. Reports also suggest that this is not due to pedestrian carelessness but rather drivers.

This is at least partially due to the rise of smartphones. Drivers are now frequently distracted. When a driver is looking down at their phone, they might hit a pedestrian or drive through a red light.

Common Causes of Brooklyn Pedestrian Accidents Caused by Drivers

Distracted driving is just one potential cause of Brooklyn pedestrian accidents. Other causes include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Intoxicated driving
  • Sleep-deprived driving (which can be just as dangerous as drunk driving)
  • Vehicle defects
  • Speeding
  • Hazardous road conditions
  • Defective or malfunctioning traffic signals

Regardless of the specific cause of your Brooklyn pedestrian accident, if you believe it was the result of another party’s negligence, contact a personal injury lawyer in Brooklyn as soon as possible. If you are entitled to compensation, we will help you pursue it effectively.

Potential Consequences of Brooklyn Pedestrian Accidents

The struggles and losses you might face in the aftermath of a Brooklyn pedestrian accident can vary depending on the severity of your injuries. You may be left with minor bruises and cuts or require hospitalization. In any case, your injuries may leave you with costly medical bills.

If you sustain a debilitating injury, you might be unable to work, which will prevent you from earning a paycheck until you fully recover.

This adds to your financial burden. You may also struggle with non-financial losses, such as physical pain and suffering, all of which require more time for recovery.

You deserve to be compensated accordingly. By working with our personal injury law firm in Brooklyn, you can maximize your chances of reaching an appropriate settlement.

How a Brooklyn Pedestrian Accident Law Firm Can Help You

If you have been injured in a Brooklyn pedestrian accident, our lawyers will devise the best strategy that meets your case’s unique needs to receive the full compensation that you may deserve.

Below are some key reasons why enlisting the help of a Brooklyn pedestrian accident lawyer could be valuable:

Investigation

Investigating an accident before filing a claim is critical. An investigation can yield evidence showing your accident was the result of someone else’s negligence.

Additionally, an investigation will help identify the potentially liable party. In some instances, it is not immediately clear who may have caused the accident. Our Brooklyn pedestrian accident lawyers have access to all resources necessary to investigate your circumstances and determine who those parties are.

Accounting for All Losses

Determining how much your claim is worth is more challenging than one might anticipate. Along with accounting for the financial losses that you have already incurred, including your medical expenses, you may also have to estimate the value of future financial losses resulting from your accident. This can include the cost of future medical treatment as well as lost wages if you are unable to work.

Our attorneys are experienced in working with these types of claims. To ensure the amount of compensation you are seeking is appropriate given the extent of your losses and injuries, hire a personal injury lawyer in Brooklyn.

Negotiating with Insurers

Insurance companies may try to negotiate to pay out less than you may be entitled to. If they believe they can argue you have not provided sufficient evidence to prove the insured was negligent, they may even deny your claim altogether.

This highlights one of the most critical reasons working with a Brooklyn pedestrian accident attorney when filing a claim can be beneficial. They can gather evidence to show that your accident was a result of negligence on the part of the insured. An attorney can help argue on your behalf why you are entitled to the full amount of compensation that you are requesting.

Claimants may not be prepared to negotiate with insurance companies, which is why it is helpful to have a skilled professional by your side. If you do not have a lawyer, an insurer may have a better chance of convincing you to settle for a lower offer.

It is best to work with a personal injury law firm to ensure you receive the best offer and avoid unfair treatment. Keep in mind, if we are unable to reach a fair settlement, we are prepared to go to trial on your behalf.
