A recent pedestrian accident in Hackensack serves as a reminder of the serious dangers pedestrians face on New Jersey roadways. On October 27, 2026, a 25-year-old pedestrian was struck by a pickup truck near the intersection of Main Street and Court Street, close to the Bergen County Courthouse. The pedestrian reportedly suffered a severe head injury and was transported for medical treatment. The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation.
Pedestrian accidents can happen in seconds, but the injuries can have lifelong consequences. Unlike drivers and passengers, pedestrians have little protection when struck by a moving vehicle.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Many pedestrian accidents involve driver negligence, including distracted driving, speeding, failure to yield at crosswalks, and unsafe turns at intersections. Even when pedestrians follow traffic laws, negligent drivers can put them at risk of serious injury.
What Are Your Rights After a Pedestrian Accident?
Under New Jersey law, pedestrians injured due to another party’s negligence may be entitled to pursue compensation for their injuries. Depending on the circumstances, damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, and pain and suffering.
Determining liability requires a thorough investigation of the accident, including police reports, witness statements, traffic footage, and other available evidence.
