Pedestrian Accidents in Connecticut 

Pedestrians have no protection from harm in the event of an accident, which means that they could be seriously injured or even killed when an accident occurs. Especially in the event of a hit-and-run accident when a driver flees the scene, a pedestrian might not get the care they need following a serious crash. Because of this, many pedestrians are hospitalized every single year. If you have been hurt in one of these accidents and wonder where you can turn, you should seek the immediate help of an accident attorney who has your best interests in mind.

The aftermath of a Connecticut pedestrian accident can have an enormous impact on your life on physical, emotional, and financial levels. Many serious injuries result from these accidents including spinal cord injuries, TBIs, broken bones, paralysis, and more. These injuries can impact your life in a variety of ways, causing you to spend time in the hospital and away from the workplace.
