Types of Compensation Available After Getting Hit by a Car

In a pedestrian accident claim, you may be entitled to a wide range of compensation for your losses, including:

• Medical and rehabilitation expenses

What Factors Impact the Settlement Amount?

Most pedestrian accident claims are resolved through a settlement with the insurance company of the driver who hit you.

Several factors can affect the ultimate amount of compensation you may receive, such as:

• Severity of your injuries

• Whether your injuries meet New York’s “serious injury” threshold to sue for non-economic damages like pain and suffering
• The insurance policy limits of the responsible driver
• Your insurance policy limits
• Whether you bear any responsibility for the pedestrian accident
