Frequently Asked Questions
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
In New York, as in most states, a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk generally has the right of way, and drivers turning or proceeding through an intersection are required to yield to them. That duty doesn't disappear just because a driver is in a hurry or distracted.
How can drivers reduce the risk of hitting a pedestrian?
Slowing down near intersections, scanning crosswalks before turning, and avoiding phone use while driving all help. Children in particular can be harder to see and may step into a crosswalk unpredictably.
What injuries are most common in pedestrian accidents?
Leg and hip fractures, head injuries, and road rash are common, since a pedestrian has no protection against a vehicle's weight and speed. Children struck by cars often sustain injuries to the upper body or head because of their height relative to a vehicle's hood.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Village of Mamaroneck, NY
If you or your child are involved in a pedestrian crash, start with medical care, even for injuries that seem mild at first. Ask for a copy of the police report once it's filed, and write down what you remember while it's fresh, including where you were standing or walking and what the signal or crosswalk looked like. If a witness is nearby, a name and phone number can be useful later. Make sure to keep records of any medical visits, and follow up with a doctor if new symptoms appear in the days after the crash. Village and county resources are available locally for families navigating the aftermath of a crash like this one.
