How a Personal Injury Attorney Can Help a Pedestrian Struck by A Motor Vehicle
July 5, 2023
It is well known that the State of New York has its fair share of accidents in which a pedestrian is struck by someone driving an motor vehicle. Depending on the details surrounding a pedestrian accident, the person struck by the vehicle may be entitled to recover compensation from the at-fault driver. Because these types of accidents often leave a pedestrian with traumatic injuries and a lengthy recovery process, the pedestrian accident attorneys at The Law Offices of Spencer M. Fein, P.C. seek out all possible sources of recovery for such victims.
There could be several parties who are liable for compensating you for your losses and our personal injury team will identify them. For example, if a pedestrian is struck by a driver who is found to be uninsured, we can make a claim under the injured parties own insurance coverage under what is known as a Supplemental Uninsured Motorist Claim. Every individual that owns a car insured within the State of New York would have this coverage. If the injured party does not own a motor vehicle and the person that struck them in uninsured we can even make a claim under the Motor Vehicle Accident Indemnification Company. This company has been established in New York for the main purpose of helping individuals in such situation.

When the Insurance Company Claims the Accident Was Not Their Fault
Insurance Companies exposure in these type of accidents can be substation and as such they fight tooth and nail to scrutinize these claims. Many times they will even claim that the accident was not their fault and even go as far as trying to shift the blame to the pedestrian. They do so to try and place some percentage of fault on the pedestrian in an attempt to reduce the amount they have to pay you or even to argue they should not have to pay at all. Factors such as accident location, automobile speed and whether the pedestrian was fully within a cross walk are need to be examined by your attorney right away to prevent any pitfalls and for the attorney to be ahead of the game for whatever the insurance company may claim to deflect fault.
