Pedestrian Accidents In Connecticut

A study published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that the number of pedestrian-involved automobile accidents is on the rise across Connecticut. During the beginning of 2018, over 200 pedestrians were injured in motor vehicle accidents across our state. Sadly, 2019 studies are not showing improvement. Instead, we are continuing to see numerous victims injured in these horrific incidents throughout our state.

When victims are injured in pedestrian accidents, they often sustain traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, and other debilitating injuries that cause them to experience excruciating pain. In many cases, pedestrians are hospitalized long-term for their injuries and have to go through months of therapy. When victims are injured due to negligent or reckless drivers, it is crucial to contact a pedestrian accident attorney in Connecticut as soon as possible.
