Pedestrian Knockdowns

New York Pedestrian Accidents

New York City is home to millions of people, many of whom walk. The cost and bother of keeping a car in New York means that we have a lower rate of car ownership and a higher percentage of walkers and bikers than other areas of the United States. This also means that we have a greater number of pedestrian accidents and knockdowns than elsewhere.
