Pedestrian Accidents in New York

Unfortunately, New York pedestrian accidents are not uncommon.  Statistics show that more than 15,000 New York pedestrian accidents occur every year in the state, and these pedestrian accidents lead to more than 16,000 injuries when drivers and vehicle passengers are included in the total.  In addition, New York pedestrian accidents lead to almost 300 deaths per year.  Hit-and-run accidents only add to the difficulty for those who have been harmed.

More often than not, the drivers in hit-and-run crashes are ultimately identified, located and apprehended, although in this case it appears that few if any witness accounts of the incident are available, as police stated that they did not have a description of the vehicle.  Hopefully for everyone involved, there will be a positive identification made that will allow for this driver to be brought to justice both in the criminal and civil courts.
