We all know that New York is a town where you’re expected to hurry up or get out of the way. Unfortunately, that way of life all too often leads to pedestrians and bicyclists getting hit or knocked down by cars, trucks and busses. For three decades the Law Firm of Steven Smedresman has helped injured New Yorkers with their pedestrian or bicyclist knockdown cases.

Pedestrian knockdown or bicyclist knockdown accidents are often the result of simple carelessness: The usual reasons are carelessness (for example, drivers not watching the road ahead, or being distracted by cell phone calls) or other reasons (alcohol involvement, rushing for work, inexperience). Most auto accidents involve some combination of speed and inattention.

Injuries from auto accidents are often very severe, physically and psychologically. Neck, head and back injuries often result, and in more severe cases there can be nerve damage, broken or dislocated bones, paralysis, loss of limbs and even death. Being unable to work even for a brief period, and surely for lengthy periods causes serious financial difficulties.
