New York City pedestrian accidents occur at an alarming rate. Of everyone on the road, pedestrians are the most vulnerable due to having no physical protection from vehicles. Even a low-speed collision can cause severe injuries and death. Section 1151 of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Laws states that in the absence of a traffic signal, pedestrians are afforded the right of way over motor vehicles and any driver that must cross a sidewalk or other pedestrian walkway to access a driveway or parking lot must yield to pedestrians on such sidewalk. In an accident, pedestrians can take legal action against the driver-at-fault, who would be responsible for covering damages and costs such as medical expenses, loss of earnings due to physical and mental impairment.

Unfortunately, no matter what precautions you take, you cannot always protect yourself from a negligent driver. Common contributing factors of a pedestrian knockdown accident on the part of the driver include:
