New York Pedestrian Accidents
We would first like to extend our sincere sympathies to Carmine Mandarano as we warmly wish for his full recovery from all injuries. Sadly, pedestrian accidents in New York often prove to be catastrophically injurious or fatal because of the sheer lack of protection between a person and a vehicle at the time of a collision.

At Hach & Rose, we know that the moments following an unforeseen injury can be extremely stressful, and we adamantly believe that your mind must remain on your physical recovery, first and foremost.
