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.

    Testimonials

    • Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. I am very pleased (and surprised) at the amount of the settlement. We will use the funds to help pay down the debt on the truck we had to purchase after ours was totaled. Thank you again.

    • I am writing this letter to say how much I appreciate your services pertaining to my case. Your injury attorney took a hands-on approach and left me fully informed at all times as to where my case was going as well as how much ground we had to cover; leaving the final decisions in my hands but making sure that I knew all of the risks involved in the choices. I have dealt with a few law firms in my life on various different cases and this is the first time that I never had to call and/or track down my lawyer… because of this, I have and will continue to recommend Cellino Law to my friends and associates.

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.

    • Cellino Law is an amazing firm with a great team. I worked with Greg Pajak and his assistant, Tracey Falconer. I cannot express enough how dedicated they are. The personal attention I received was excellent; they were always available to help with questions and concerns and put me at ease in the unknown territory I found myself in. I highly recommend them to anyone needing representation. A huge thank you to them for all they accomplished for me!
