If you were hit by a car while walking, you’re likely facing a painful recovery and a long list of questions.
Pedestrians don’t have the protection of a vehicle—and that means even low-speed crashes can result in life-changing injuries. We help people in Deer Park, Wyandanch, Brentwood & nearby neighborhoods get the medical care, compensation, and support they need after being struck by a vehicle.
Whether you were crossing Deer Park Avenue, walking near the LIRR station, or hit in a parking lot by North Babylon High School, we know how quickly a normal day can turn into a medical emergency. Our team works fast to gather evidence, deal with insurance, and demand accountability from the driver who hurt you.
