NYC Motorcycle Accident Leaves Pedestrian Critically Injured

1. NYC Motorcycle Accident Leaves Pedestrian Critically Injured Not all pedestrian accidents involve the use or operation of automobiles. Motorcycles can be just as dangerous to pedestrians. Point in case- a pedestrian who recently suffered serious injuries in Brooklyn, New York after he was hit by a motorcycle zooming down the street. Surveillance video from a nearby car wash shows the pedestrian waiting at the red light waiting for several cars to pass by. He then proceeded into the cross walk. The footage shows that only seconds later, the 28-year-old pedestrian was struck head-on by the biker. The impact tossed the pedestrian into the air. Both men were ambulanced to Jamaica Hospital in Queens. The motorcyclist is in stable condition, while the pedestrian is still fighting for his life. Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries Pedestrians are not afforded any protection when involved in an accident with any type of vehicle, including a motorcycle. This makes pedestrians more susceptible to suffering catastrophic and even fatal injuries during an accident. Common injuries suffered by pedestrians involved in an accident include: • Traumatic brain injury and other closed head injuries • Broken or fractured bones • Back and neck injuries • Spinal cord injuries • Loss of limbs • Internal organ injuries • Death Compensation For Pedestrian Accident Victims Pedestrian accidents involving any type of vehicles can be tragic.
