As daylight fades earlier each evening, New York's crosswalks get more dangerous, and pedestrians bear the brunt of it. Lower visibility, tired drivers, and a crowded evening rush are a risky combination.
If you're walking, you still have the right of way in marked crosswalks and at signals, and drivers are required to yield. If a driver's carelessness leaves you injured, you may have options to recover for medical bills, lost wages, and more.
