- Emotional distress and mental trauma
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Scarring or disfigurement

New York Pedestrian Accident Resources
New York laws that may come into play if you decide to take legal action after a pedestrian accident include:
- New York crosswalk laws: In New York, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in marked or unmarked crosswalks. If a driver failed to stop for you while crossing the street, they may be liable for your damages.
- New York statute of limitations for personal injuries: In most cases, injured pedestrians will have three years from the date of the accident to file a legal claim. Missing this deadline could mean forfeiting your right to recover compensation.
- Comparative negligence in New York: New York applies a pure comparative negligence system to personal injury claims, allowing victims to recover some compensation, even if they share up to 99% of the fault. However, the amount awarded is proportionately reduced by the percentage of fault they share.

Vermont Pedestrian Accident Resources
If you were injured as a pedestrian in Vermont, these laws can affect your legal claim:
- Vermont crosswalk laws: While drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, Vermont pedestrians must yield the right of way to vehicles when crossing outside of a crosswalk. Noncompliance with these rules could affect liability.
- Vermont statute of limitations for personal injuries: When filing a pedestrian accident claim, Vermont injury victims generally have three years from the date of the accident to initiate legal action.
- Modified comparative negligence in Vermont: Vermont uses a modified comparative negligence system, which lets victims who are less than 51% at fault for the accident recover some compensation. Injured individuals who are 51% at fault or more are barred from recovering compensation.

Injured pedestrians who are filing a claim for compensation in Massachusetts may benefit from knowing more about these laws:
