Pedestrian accident lawyer serving Nassau County and Queens

Crosswalks, School Zones, and Parking Lots

Busy intersections on Sunrise Highway, Merrick Road, and Jamaica Avenue see frequent pedestrian impacts. Drivers who speed through lights, fail to yield in crosswalks, or reverse without looking cause serious harm. The Law Offices of Laurence Rogers helps pedestrians and families across Valley Stream, Lynbrook, Rockville Centre, and Jamaica pursue accountability.

Insurance and Compensation For Pedestrians

In New York, the driver’s no fault insurance can cover initial medical bills and a portion of lost wages. When injuries are serious, a liability claim pursues pain and suffering and full financial losses. If the driver is uninsured or flees, uninsured motorist coverage or MVAIC may apply. We coordinate benefits and build the liability case so your recovery stays on track.


If a collision caused lasting cognitive symptoms, read about evaluation and proof on brain injuries. For a broader overview of claim steps, visit personal injury.

Proving Driver Negligence

We obtain police reports, 911 audio, traffic or storefront video, and witness statements to show failure to yield, distraction, speeding, or intoxication. When visibility is an issue, we use measurements and diagrams to demonstrate how the driver should have seen and avoided the pedestrian.

Questions Pedestrians Ask

  • Can I recover if I crossed midblock?

    Comparative fault may reduce damages but does not end a claim when the driver was also negligent.

  • Who pays if it was a hit and run?

    Uninsured motorist coverage or MVAIC can provide benefits and compensation.

  • Should I speak with the driver’s insurer?

    Let counsel handle statements so facts are clear and your rights are protected.
