How pedestrians can avoid being victims of pedestrian crashes

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Dec 18, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

Crashes between pedestrians and vehicles often cause severe injuries for the person walking and may mean weeks of missed work. Injuries could limit your work ability for the rest of your life or cause chronic pain. Therefore, a crash should always be a pedestrian's...

Don’t blindly trust a walk signal

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Dec 7, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

One potential issue with the “safety” provided by pedestrian crosswalks is that a person generally has the walk symbol at the same time that cars on the road next to them have a green light. If those cars are proceeding through the light, this works beautifully. When...

Runners are safest when running toward traffic 

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Jun 26, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

When gym runners first start to venture outside and run on the road, trying to get in those longer distances, they may feel unsure which side of the road they should be on. You will often see two runners on the same side, but going toward one another. Clearly, one...

Insurance group says pedestrian injuries fall with turn barriers

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Apr 16, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Mar 31, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

Stay alert if you run with music

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Mar 23, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

Running purists often say they don’t want music, podcasts, audiobooks or anything else to distract them while they run. They want to be focused. They need to be dialed in to run their very best.  For perhaps the majority of runners, though, the boredom of long...

How pedestrians can protect themselves after hit and runs

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Feb 24, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

New York is a chaotic place for pedestrians. Walking down the street can feel like navigating a battlefield. And dodging drivers and cyclists can feel like the norm rather than the exception to the rule. In 2019, there were 124 pedestrian deaths and over 10,000...

Multiple people killed, injured in a single day as pedestrians

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Jan 16, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian injuries and deaths are serious incidents, and they have seen an uptick in New York recently. Just since the first of the year, four pedestrians have been killed in New York City. Two people were killed in the latest incident when a 68-year-old woman and...

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Jan 9, 2020 | Pedestrian Accidents

As the number of pedestrian accidents with injuries and fatalities has risen, the dangers pedestrians face in New York City have been a prominent concern. Law enforcement and legislators are seeking methods to make the roads safer for pedestrians. Statistically,...

Elderly man on bicycle dies after colliding with minivan

On Behalf of Michael J. Gaffney, Attorney at Law | Nov 21, 2019 | Pedestrian Accidents

In New York City, if it seems as if there are an inordinate number of stories about bicyclists being hit by an automobile, suffering serious injuries and dying, it is no mistake. Bicyclists and pedestrians have grown more and more at risk in recent years. This is...
