Unfortunately, car accidents and pedestrian accidents occur. The wrecks can cause serious personal injury, and sometimes, they can be fatal, leading to wrongful death. Legal-Bay is committed to helping victims involved in any and all types of motor vehicle accidents and pedestrian accidents.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented on the recent car and pedestrian accident, "Cab accidents in New York City are common, however the Uber Bronx accident is one that is not the typical accident since it is possible that there may be a product liability claim if the car had malfunctioned. Many cases like this where liability is uncertain typically tend to drag on for years. However, our lawsuit cash advances can assist plaintiffs or their family members during these delays to an ultimate settlement."
