What if I Was Hit in a Crosswalk?

If you were hit while walking in a marked or unmarked crosswalk, the driver’s conduct should be carefully investigated. Important questions include whether the driver failed to yield, was distracted, was speeding, turned without looking, ignored a traffic signal, or failed to slow or stop when required. Connecticut’s pedestrian right-of-way rules can be important in these cases, but the facts still matter. Photos, witness statements, traffic signal information, crash reports, and nearby video can help show what happened.
