Brooklyn, NY personal injury attorney Jordan Jodré shares his advice for injured pedestrians. He stresses that the first and most important step after being injured by a vehicle as a pedestrian is to seek immediate medical attention—whether at an ER, urgent care, or hospital. He explains that pedestrians have the same rights under the law as if they were inside a vehicle. This means they are entitled to no-fault coverage through the at-fault vehicle’s insurance policy, and if the driver is further at fault, the pedestrian also has the right to pursue a lawsuit for additional damages.
