The problem with a lawsuit is this--the guy died and NY has some of the worst wrongful death laws of any state. All his loved ones will likely recover is lost future earnings. If the guy was knocked down and lost consciousness immediately, they probably won't award damages for pain and suffering, and you can't recover for loss of companionship.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
