New York Girl Gets Hit By Car Right Outside of Her School

New York personal injury attorney David Perecman raises some poignant questions after a car accident leaves a high school senior fighting for her life. The accident occurred in a crosswalk right outside the student’s school. The crosswalk was known to have no stop signs. Car drivers were expected to know to yield the right of way to pedestrians. In this particular case, the car that stopped at the crosswalk to let the girl pass was struck from behind, and this momentum caused it to hit the student. While saddened by this tragedy, New York personal injury attorneys are also thinking beyond this incident, wondering if the lack of a stop sign indicates other neglected or procrastinated safety measures. Perecman wonders, what other accidents may be waiting to happen at the school.
