Understanding Pedestrian Accidents in Staten Island
In Staten Island, pedestrian safety is a critical concern, yet accidents involving pedestrians remain common. Local traffic patterns, combined with the bustling nature of our neighborhoods, often create dangerous situations for those walking near busy streets. The New York City Department of Transportation has implemented various safety measures, but pedestrian accidents still occur, leaving victims with serious injuries and financial burdens.
Residents of Staten Island know that navigating busy streets can be challenging, especially in areas like St. George and New Dorp, where foot traffic is high. Many pedestrians face the pain of dealing with medical expenses, lost wages, and the emotional toll of an accident. The local community also feels the impact, as these incidents spark increased awareness and calls for stronger safety measures from local government entities.
At The Law Office of Helene Mark, we understand the unique challenges pedestrians in Staten Island face. Our team is committed to helping those injured in pedestrian accidents seek the compensation they need to recover. We are well-versed in the local laws and regulations that protect pedestrian safety, and we are here to advocate for your rights. If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident, don’t hesitate to reach out for support.

What To Know About Pedestrian Claims
Do not delay! If a city bus or other government vehicle hit you, you only have ninety (90) days from the date of accident to start your claim.
In New York, the careless actions of a pedestrian may deem the driver not at fault. Although your medical bills can be paid for, that does not mean a lawsuit will be successful. However, if the driver is even partly to blame, you can still be compensated. Insurance companies and defense attorneys will often use this excuse to settle your claim at low and unfair amounts. You don’t have to deal with the insurance companies alone. Call attorney Paul D. Gentile today to discuss your claim and so he can fight for you.
