At Blitz Law Group, we believe the truth always matters — and in this case, it made all the difference.
$500,000 Settlement for Pedestrian Struck by Rideshare Driver in Times Square
On March 13, 2023, our 38-year-old client was walking to her job as a hostess at a hotel near Times Square when her morning took a life-altering turn. While crossing the street in a designated crosswalk, she was violently struck by a rideshare vehicle. The force of the impact threw her several feet, causing her to land hard on her right side.
The rideshare driver claimed to police that our client had suddenly run into the street, attempting to shift the blame. But we got to work right away.
Our legal team immediately secured surveillance footage of the intersection, which clearly showed that our client was lawfully walking in the crosswalk at the time of the collision. The footage contradicted the driver’s statement and confirmed our client’s right of way.
As a result of the impact, our client suffered a severe fracture to her right leg, requiring three separate surgeries. She was unable to work for nearly a year as she recovered — physically, emotionally, and financially.
After taking the case through depositions, we negotiated a settlement of $500,000 with both the rideshare driver and the rideshare company — a result that provides meaningful compensation for our client’s pain, lost wages, and long road to healing.
At Blitz Law Group, we don’t back down — and we don’t settle for less. We Blitz for more.
