Pedestrian knockdowns are a serious road safety issue that can result in severe injuries or fatalities. These accidents occur when a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, often due to factors such as driver inattention, speeding, or impaired driving.

Client’s case

Struck by a car in Bergen County caused several shoulder and wrist surgeries. The defense attorneys argued that our client was more than 50% responsible for crossing the street outside of a crosswalk. This would have prevented any award. After depositions and expert testimony, the insurance company was convinced that we could overcome this defense and achieved a settlement just before the trial was to begin.
