Pedestrian Accident Attorneys in New York

Walking is a way of life in New York — whether it’s a daily commute, a stroll through the park, or a quick trip to the store. Unfortunately, in a city that never stops moving, pedestrians face real risks every day. When a careless driver fails to pay attention, the consequences can be catastrophic. At BSW Law Group, our New York pedestrian accident attorneys are here to protect injured pedestrians and their families. Our mission is simple: provide compassionate service, handle every detail of the legal process, and fight for the outcome you deserve.

Understanding Pedestrian Accidents in New York

New York’s dense traffic and constant movement create countless opportunities for accidents. Every borough — from Manhattan’s crowded avenues to residential streets in Brooklyn or the Bronx — sees its share of pedestrian crashes. These accidents often occur at:

• Crosswalks and intersections where drivers fail to yield
• Bus stops or subway exits where visibility is low
• Parking lots and driveways
• School zones and neighborhood sidewalks

Even at low speeds, vehicles can cause devastating harm. Pedestrians have no protection against the force of a collision, which is why these accidents so often result in serious injuries or fatalities.

Common Injuries in New York Pedestrian Accidents

When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, the injuries are often life-changing. Victims may suffer from:

• Broken or shattered bones
• Head and traumatic brain injuries
• Internal bleeding or organ damage
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Severe bruising and soft-tissue damage

At BSW Law Group, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these injuries take. Our attorneys work closely with doctors, rehabilitation specialists, and financial experts to ensure every impact of the accident is fully understood — and fully compensated.

Steps to Take After a Pedestrian Accident in New York

In the chaos that follows an accident, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Taking the right steps can help protect your health and your legal rights:

1. Get medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
2. Report the accident to the police and obtain a copy of the report.
3. Collect photos and witness information, if possible.
4. Avoid discussing fault or accepting settlements before speaking with an attorney.
5. Contact BSW Law Group for trusted legal guidance.

Our team will take care of everything — from dealing with insurance companies, to investigating the driver’s negligence — while you focus on recovery and family.
