Pedestrian Accidents

Every year, thousands of pedestrians are killed in traffic accidents. The White Plains Law Office of Mark A. Siesel represents clients throughout Westchester County and all of New York State who have suffered injuries or who are a surviving family member of a pedestrian killed as the result of a reckless or negligent driver.

The Law Office of Mark A. Siesel is dedicated to protecting pedestrians and bicyclists who are the victims of reckless and negligent drivers of taxicabs, trucks and other delivery vehicles who fail to stop at stop signs or drive at unsafe speeds. Particularly in the boroughs of New York City, taxi drivers and delivery vehicle operators routinely ignore traffic lights, fail to obey stop signs, and ignore other traffic controls. We will obtain witness statements, obtain the maintenance and driver records of the perpetrators involved, and utilize the services of accident reconstruction experts who can analyze accident debris, skid marks, and other accident scene evidence.

Injuries suffered in pedestrian accidents are often extremely severe and life altering. The pedestrian accident victim may have suffered spinal cord paralysis, nerve damage, dislocated or broken bones, or even a lost arm or leg. The White Plains, New York law firm of Mark Siesel understands that in addition to recovering the maximum amount for pain and suffering, other immediate goals of an accident victim are to insure: medical bills get paid, any lost wages are reimbursed to prevent financial suffering, and insurance companies recognize any future treatment expenses relating to injuries.

We provide dedicated, aggressive, and comprehensive representation to make sure our clients receive all possible compensation. Insurance companies are not in business to give the maximum settlement—they seek to pay victims as little as possible, and frequently attempt to settle cases “on the cheap” before an attorney is involved. If you are injured in a pedestrian accident, before you sign or settle anything with an insurance company please contact us.
