Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
Pedestrian Accident Attorneys
Pedestrian safety affects every person in our society, as everyone is sometimes a pedestrian.
A few steps we all can take to improve our safety as pedestrians include:
- Increase your visibility at night by carrying a flashlight and wearing reflective clothing.
- Cross streets at a designated crosswalk or intersection whenever possible.
- Walk on a sidewalk or path instead of the road. Walk on the shoulder and facing traffic if a sidewalk or path is not available.
- Avoid using electronic devices like earbuds, especially if you have been using alcohol or drugs.
In spite of all precautions, accidents still happen, even, tragically, accidents where pedestrians are seriously injured or killed.
In the event of an accident, Cohen, Feeley, Altemose & Rambo will hold accountable any potentially liable parties including:
- A driver who failed to follow the traffic rules
- An inattentive driver, including someone texting or talking on the phone while driving
- A drunk driver
- Car and car parts manufacturers
- Bars, social hosts, clubs and restaurants that serve intoxicated drivers
- Local governments who fail to provide safe intersections and streets

What Our Clients Have To Say
I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the care provided to me by Mr. Mark Altemose and Mimi Zancofsky. When I was seriously injured in an auto accident, everyday was a struggle. But, I had to worry about nothing other than my treatment and recovery while they managed every detail about my claim. Mark is very confident, professional, smart and responsive–thinking 100 steps ahead. Thank you so much, Mark Altemose, for being an exceptional lawyer. Mimi Zancofsky was awesome, she went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, she kept me updated and walked me through all all the steps for my case. You’ve been an incredible help with my case. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LAW OFFICE.
Mike McKarski handled my case, and it was not easy. I am not always easy to deal with. But Mike was very sure of himself and the case that he built. I had complete trust and confidence in him. He informed me every step of the process. He was there for me whenever I needed to speak to him. No matter the time of day or issue he was always responsive. Mike actually cares about the client above everything else. I will always be grateful for the work and effort put in and for the kindness and caring. Truly thankful.
This was my first time working with lawyers for a case and they were awesome. They always kept me in the loop and they explained everything very clearly. Very trustworthy and would recommend to anyone.
Will Rambo and his paralegal, Jenna Landis, were absolutely wonderful to work with following a car accident. They always kept me up-to-date with the case, and kindly answered my questions. I’m so grateful for all that they’ve done, and I cannot recommend them enough! Hopefully I won’t be needing their services in the future, but if I do I know I’ll be choosing them to represent me again.
