What to know about pedestrian accident cases in Staten Island
High-pedestrian zones in Staten Island
St. George, Stapleton, New Dorp, and Tottenville are walkable neighborhoods with high pedestrian volumes — left-turn crashes at signalized intersections are the dominant injury pattern.
Pedestrian right-of-way law
NY pedestrian right-of-way law requires drivers to exercise due care toward pedestrians. Left-turning drivers must yield. Right-of-way violations support liability.
Pedestrians ARE covered by no-fault
Even though you weren't a passenger, the at-fault driver's no-fault policy covers your medical bills and lost wages up to $50,000 (basic). We open that claim immediately.
Traffic-cam and witness preservation
Staten Island has extensive traffic-cam coverage at major intersections. We preserve the footage with notice letters before the 30-90 day overwrite window closes.
Venue and filing
Staten Island pedestrian claims are filed at Richmond County Supreme Court at 26 Central Avenue. City of NY defendants (defective signal, missing crosswalk) require special notice rules.
