Pedestrian Accidents in Connecticut
Pedestrian accidents are a significant concern in Connecticut, particularly in areas near highway ramps or busy intersections like Schoolhouse Rd and Exit 35. These incidents often result in severe injuries due to the vulnerability of pedestrians in collisions with vehicles.
Connecticut law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and exercise caution near pedestrian-heavy areas. Despite these regulations, accidents still occur, often due to factors such as distracted driving, speeding, or poor visibility.
Victims of pedestrian accidents may face significant medical expenses, lost income, and emotional distress. State law allows injured individuals to pursue compensation for their losses, but the legal process can be complex and time-sensitive.
