NEW YORK CITY PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Why Pedestrian Accident Cases Require Special Attention and a High-Level of Attorney Skill…

A two-ton car hits a human body. Whether your case involves wrongful death or injuries only, pedestrian accidents can present some of the most life-devastating consequences of all. Most tragically, some accidents kill victims, and Steve Mandel must take action on behalf of remaining family members or next-of-kin.

In a stunning victory, Steve won $1,850,000.00 for family members of an unemployed, unmarried and childless woman, struck and killed while crossing the street. In this very complicated case of questionable liability, many factors were working against the family’s opportunity to receive fair compensation. The deceased woman had no income with which to prove a claim of damages for lost wages, no spouse to contribute support to, and no children to provide for. Some lawyers would call this an un-winnable case.

But The Mandel Law Firm did their work well, resulting in a major monetary win, to compensate family members for the loss of their loved one.

“My job is to get everything I can for my client and to hold the guilty party accountable, by hitting them where it hurts, in their wallet.” – Steve Mandel

Determining who is legally at fault in pedestrian cases can be a complex matter. Generally pedestrians have the right of way. However, there can be many considerations in determining negligence, which may affect the outcome of your case. Here are just a few:

  • Were you crossing in the appropriate crosswalk, or in the middle of the street?
  • Did the driver go through a red light?
  • Were you careful to look both ways as you crossed?

If the incident involved a malfunctioning traffic light or signal, it may even be possible to sue the city or town for failure to maintain it adequately.
