Assuming you can sue, then the parties who may owe you damages can vary, because every case is different.
As a general matter, however, after suffering serious injuries in an Atlantic City pedestrian accident, victims often have the right to sue one or more of:
- Drivers of the vehicle that struck them;
- Employers of drivers who strike pedestrians with a work vehicle;
- Owners of the vehicle that struck the pedestrian, if different than the driver, if it was unreasonably dangerous to let the driver take the wheel;
- Bars, restaurants, alcohol sellers, and social hosts, if they served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated driver or a minor, who then struck a pedestrian;
- City and state government agencies and contractors if they failed to correct, or warn about, dangerous sidewalk or road-related conditions that contributed to the pedestrian accident;
- Anyone else whose careless, reckless, or intentionally harmful actions cause the incident that leads to a pedestrian injury in Atlantic City.
