New York Bicyclist and Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

A pedestrian or bicyclist accident is typically a hit-and-run situation when the driver of the car or truck cannot be found. Sometimes, the motorist does not even realize that a person has been hit. Other times, the hit-and-run is a deliberate, impulsive response to panic and fear. When a responsible driver stops to check on the well-being of a bicyclist or pedestrian they have struck, the investigation of the accident is more straightforward.
