Have You Received A Summons For Failure To Yield To A Pedestrian Resulting In Physical Injury?

Whenever a motorist in New York City strikes a pedestrian in a crosswalk and the collision results in physical injury, the NYPD issues a summons for a violation of Pedestrian’s Rights and Safety for a civil fine [Administrative Code 19-190(b)]. This charge does not add any points to a motorist’s driving record, however it can have a negative impact on a civil/personal injury lawsuit, if the pedestrian decides to sue the motorist, which is often the case.

This hearing is held at the New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) division. Therefore, it is imperative that a motorist who is summoned for this charge contests it at the OATH division. It is best to work with an attorney who is familiar with these hearings.
