Frequently Asked Questions
Are pedestrian accidents more common at night?
Many pedestrian crashes do happen after dark, when drivers have less time to see someone in or near the roadway, but they also occur in daylight, as this one reportedly did. Reduced visibility, speed, and driver attention all play a role regardless of the hour.
Who has the right of way at a crosswalk?
In New York, pedestrians generally have the right of way in marked and unmarked crosswalks once they've entered, but both drivers and pedestrians share responsibility for watching traffic signals and road conditions before crossing or turning.
What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Medford, NY
If you are involved in or witness a pedestrian crash, you should make sure emergency services have been called and avoid moving an injured person unless there's immediate danger. Once EMS arrives, let them evaluate everyone involved, even if injuries aren't obvious right away, since some symptoms take hours to appear. Afterward, it's worth requesting a copy of the police report once it's filed and following up with a doctor for any lingering pain, numbness, or soreness. Keeping notes on what was seen or experienced can also help if questions come up later about how the crash happened.
