Buffalo Pedestrian Accident Attorney

If you are hit by a car while crossing the street, you may be entitled to money damages for pain and suffering.  Most likely, the collision caused serious, if not fatal, injuries.

We will investigate the accident by obtaining the police report,  statements from witnesses, and possibly retain an expert in accident reconstruction to determine how exactly the accident happened.

If you were seriously injured, significant financial challenges lie ahead. There will be extensive medical bills and a potential loss of income.  If there was a fatality, there will be funeral expenses.  A Western NY wrongful death attorney can help with your  claim for medical expenses, lost wages, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, and a claim for loss of consortium on behalf of a spouse.  Additionally, if the pedestrian accident resulted in a catastrophic injury, such as a head injury or a spinal cord injury, an injury claim can also provide for future needs or accommodations.   All relevant insurance policies will be pursued.

Hit and Run Pedestrian Accidents

One common problem with pedestrian accidents is that the at-fault driver is nowhere to be found. Even if the accident victim is capable of providing a description of the vehicle, it can still be difficult to track down a hit and run driver. However, victims are not completely at a loss for pursuing compensation. If you have purchased Supplemental Uninsured Motorist (SUM) coverage under your own insurance policy, you can pursue compensation from your own insurance company after a hit and run accident.
