Deliveryman Dies Two Months After He Was Hit by a Car in Brooklyn

Deliveryman Dies Two Months After He Was Hit by a Car in Brooklyn
Calendar icon January 10, 2021 | Reading Time: 2 min

A deliveryman who was hit by a car in Brooklyn died after a two months’ battle against his injuries. The accident was caused by a reckless driver in October. 

Forty-three-year-old Xiang Wu, a Chinese immigrant, father of two sons, was fighting for his life for weeks after he was T-boned by a 2015 Dodge Charger. The vehicle ran over a red light and hit the man’s scooter on October 18.

Wu flew over the car’s hood before tumbling to the Borough Park pavement. 

His death could upgrade the charges brought against the driver, Valdez Heron. He was initially released without bail on charges (which include reckless endangerment and driving in the accident that ended fatally). 

Wu’s family spent the last two months hoping their husband and father would recover, however that didn’t happen.

The man used the scooter to support his family, making deliveries for Grubhub, Uber Eats, and Seamless.

Thirty-year-old Heron jumped out of his vehicle while it was still in gear after hitting Wu just a mile away from his home, the police said. The vehicle rolled down the street, hitting a parked Audi before coming to rest. 

If you were hit by a car in Brooklyn or involved in a similar accident or lost a loved one in a car accident, caused by a reckless driver, you have the right to seek a compensation claim that will cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or to help you move on with your life after losing your family member.

A car accident attorney will help you take all the needed steps. Your lawyer will negotiate with the insurance company until they offer you a decent settlement. It’s very possible that they try to downpay you or deny the settlement. Act smart – contact a Brooklyn car accident attorney at Cellino Law.

    • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.
