Re: pedestrian Illegal immigrant hit by car and injured

Thank you for your inquiry.

These two gentlemen can certainly pursue a law suit for the injuries that they have sustained due to the negligence of this drunk driver. Specifically, their immigration status does not effect their ability to sue.

As my office handles many personal injury and wrongful death matters, please contact my office at 732-246-0909 to discuss your case.

Very truly yours,

Edward R. Weinstein
