Understanding New York Pedestrian Accident Laws
New York Right-of-Way Laws
New York has several right-of-way laws designed to protect pedestrians. Under state law, a vehicle that enters a road from a driveway, alley, or private road must stop and yield the right-of-way to traffic and pedestrians.
Additionally, drivers must yield to pedestrians who are legally using crosswalks and exercise reasonable care to avoid colliding with them.
New York’s Comparative Negligence Rule
In May 2026, New York lawmakers enacted a modified comparative negligence law that applies to motor vehicle accidents. This means if you were more than 50% at fault for a crash, you can’t recover damages. If you were 50% or less at fault, your damages will be reduced in proportion to your share of the blame.
