New Jersey Pedestrian Knockdown Lawyers
A pedestrian knockdown is a legal term used to describe when someone gets hit by a car or other motor vehicle. Approximately, 4,500 pedestrians are killed in traffic-related accidents every year. On average, a pedestrian is killed in a traffic crash every 113 minutes and injured in a traffic crash every 8 minutes. There were 70,000 pedestrians injured in traffic crashes in 2007 alone.
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) estimates 9,188 pedestrians died in traffic or non-traffic incidents in 2022. Non-traffic incidents occur on non-traffic ways such as driveways, parking lots, or other private property. The latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that, in 2022, 7,522 pedestrians died in traffic crashes occurring on public roads.
A pedestrian is no match for a car or truck. When a pedestrian is hit or struck by a car, it is the pedestrian who is likely to sustain serious injury or even wrongful death.
Drivers of cars, trucks, and buses have a duty to be aware of the pedestrian traffic in our cities. Whether it is Jersey City, Hoboken, Newark, Bergen County, Hudson County, or Ocean County, all too often drivers fail to be cognizant of the pedestrian traffic around them. When a driver carelessly hits a pedestrian, the driver can be found civilly liable for the injuries and damages caused.
Hit by a Car?
When you are struck by a car, it can be a trying and difficult time. You may have been hospitalized and forced to undergo medical or surgical procedures. You are confronted with medical expenses, lost wages, and other hardships. Insurance companies may contact you to give a statement or to fill out claims forms. All of this while, you are concerned about the future and what you should do. You have questions. We have the answers.
Insurance companies are not on your side. They work hard to defeat your claim for damages and to deny your right to benefits as soon as possible. Their job, the way they see it, is to pay nothing or as little as possible on your claim. Their lawyers will fight to have your case dismissed by the court. You should never speak to a representative from an insurance carrier until you have first consulted with an experienced personal injury attorney.
