Entrust Your Case to Our Brookhaven Pedestrian Accident Attorneys

We know that dealing with the complexities of taking legal action is probably the last thing you want to deal with when you are trying to heal up after being hit by a car —that is why one of our firm’s most important goals is making the process simple and easy for you. Because taking action promptly is the best way to protect your right to compensation, we are determined to make everything associated with your case as convenient as possible for you. Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., has spent over 30 years standing up for the rights of negligence victims. You stay focused on receiving treatment. Our Brookhaven pedestrian injury lawyers will take care of the rest, including:
  • Providing case updates: We will stay in touch with you and keep you apprised of what we are doing to advocate for you. 
  • Identifying liable parties: While the driver who hit you is probably at fault, we will confirm whether this is the best case for you and/or identify other legally and financially liable parties that you should file a claim against.
  • Communicating with others: Our Brookhaven lawyers will handle every aspect of all dealings with the liable party, their legal representatives, and their insurance company as we fight for the compensation you need.
  • Strengthening your case file: We will collect evidence like medical records, expert testimony, witness statements, and reports from the Suffolk County Police Department’s 6th Precinct, among other materials.
  • Calculating your damages: We will tell you how much you should pursue and what types of damages you qualify for.
We have team members fluent in a variety of languages, so we are able to assist you in Spanish, Bengali, Greek, or another language you prefer.

How Long Does it Take to Get a Pedestrian Accident Settlement?

Many factors go into determining the length of your pedestrian injury case:
  • Who the liable party is
  • How serious your injuries are
  • How the insurance company reacts to your claim
  • How long it takes to build a strong case file
It is not uncommon to need at least several months to arrive at an appropriate settlement. If your case must be litigated or needs to go to trial, the timeline could be even longer. Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., is in this with you for the long haul: no matter how complex your case is, we will continue to fight by your side. Call now to get started.

Our Brookhaven Pedestrian Injury Lawyers Are Ready to Pursue Compensation

Typically, the at-fault vehicle’s No-Fault insurance should cover at least some of your losses, including medical expenses. If you have not already filed a No-Fault claim with the insurer of the car that struck you, we will make sure that gets done in a timely fashion. In cases where negligence caused or substantially contributed to causing your serious injuries, you have the right to seek additional compensation from the at-fault party’s liability insurance. Through such a claim, you could pursue the following types of damages:
  • Medical expenses that exceed what your no-fault policy covers
  • Loss of wages, if you are unable to work now or in the future
  • Out-of-pocket expenses, such as the cost of getting to and from doctors' appointments
  • Pain and suffering, for your injury symptoms
  • Diminished quality of life, if you are unable to enjoy the lifestyle you did before the crash
  • Disabilities, for any injury that affects your flexibility, strength, range of motion, or intellectual capabilities
You could be entitled to damages for common pedestrian accident injuries like head or back injuries, as well as all of the other losses caused by those injuries. Our legal team will assess your losses carefully and make sure the amount we demand on your behalf is an accurate reflection of all past, present, and future damages.

What Percentage Does a Pedestrian Accident Lawyer Take?

Our law firm gets paid on contingency, which means our clients pay us a percentage of their settlement or verdict rather than out of pocket. There is no financial risk to you whatsoever when you decide to retain our services. As helping you have peace of mind is one of our most important goals, we always go over our fees with the client at the start of their case. We know that financial stability is often a big concern after a pedestrian crash, which is why we wait until after you get your money to accept our fee—and why we charge nothing unless you win.

Protecting Brookhaven Pedestrians

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that you, as a pedestrian, protect yourself by:
  • Using sidewalks when possible
  • Walking at the side of the road towards traffic when there are no sidewalks
  • Staying alert at all times, especially when crossing in front of traffic, driveways, or parking lots
  • Not drinking or doing drugs before going out, as this could prevent you from noticing or avoiding hazards
It goes without saying that, while these actions are critical and could even save your life, they are not always enough to overcome the negligence of others. Drivers in particular have a responsibility to keep an eye out for and yield to pedestrians, and to avoid any action (e.g., speeding, texting and driving) that could prevent them from stopping in time to avoid a collision. Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., cares deeply about keeping our community safe and advocating for victims of negligence. If someone else’s recklessness led to a preventable accident, we will work with you to determine the right way forward.
