Our sidewalks and streets should be havens of safety, but tragically, pedestrians are often vulnerable targets in a world of speeding vehicles and distracted drivers. Pedestrian knockdowns, whether caused by carelessness or sheer accident, can lead to devastating injuries, long-term disabilities, and even fatalities.
Client’s case
An elderly woman was struck while walking across a major Rockland roadway. The defense argued that she was not in a crosswalk, and that the driver had a green light. They argued before a jury that the client was solely responsible for being struck. Our client sustained several fractures. Before trial there was a small offer that was rejected. A jury found the driver overwhelmingly responsible.
