Bronx Pedestrian Injury Attorney
While drivers cannot always be held at fault for other types of pedestrian accidents, crosswalk accidents are almost always caused by driver negligence. If you have been hit by a car while crossing at a crosswalk, you may be entitled to full compensation for your injuries.
I am Bronx, Westchester County and Brooklyn crosswalk accident attorney Daniel A. Kalish. Since 1986, I have helped accident victims pursue the money damages they deserve from negligent drivers and their insurance companies. For a free consultation about your case, contact me today.
Seeking Fair Compensation From Negligent Drivers
Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks. But all too often, drivers are in such a hurry that they simply do not pay attention to crosswalks and the pedestrians in them. I help clients pursue claims against drivers who have hit them in circumstances such as the following:
- Running red lights: Pedestrians have the right to cross on walk signs and green lights. Drivers who run red lights can seriously injure people who walk out in front of them.
- Failing to yield at turns: Many drivers try to "beat" pedestrians while turning by scurrying between people's bodies. When these drivers miscalculate, people get hurt.
- Turning on red: In New York City, drivers are not allowed to turn on red. People who are unfamiliar with this rule may collide with pedestrians who think their paths are clear.
An experienced trial lawyer can make a major difference to the outcome of your case. I have a passion for going up against the insurance companies to win fair compensation for injured people, and I am prepared to go to court, if necessary, to get the results my clients deserve.
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in a crosswalk accident or any other auto accident, don't hesitate to contact my office to schedule an appointment.
