Pedestrian Accidents
New York and Long Island are known for pedestrian foot traffic, and on any given day there are tens of thousands of New Yorkers crossing the street. Unfortunately, due to the constant stream of motor vehicle traffic often involving distracted and careless drivers, pedestrians can be struck by vehicles and can suffer serious, if not fatal, injuries.
The Irwin Law Firm has extensive Pedestrian Accident experience and offers attentive and sound legal guidance to our clients. Pedestrian accidents are those accidents that involve pedestrians and a car or other motor vehicle.
We will always fight for the results our clients deserve. Pedestrian accidents usually occur as a result of the following reasons:
- Distracted Drivers texting or talking on cell phones
- Impaired Drivers
- Impatient Drivers
- Recklessness
- Bad Weather

- Road Construction
- Vehicles Making Left Turns
Pedestrians are most often in accidents in Urban Areas, on roadsides or in parking lots. Crashes killed more than 6,700 pedestrians in 2020, up about 5 percent from the estimated 6,412 the year before, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.
