Pedestrian accident claims in Connecticut often turn on where the person was walking, whether they were in a marked or unmarked crosswalk, whether the pedestrian was impaired or distracted using a cell phone, whether the driver failed to yield, whether traffic signals were working properly, and whether another party contributed to the crash. Because pedestrians often suffer serious injuries and insurance companies may try to shift blame, it is important to seek medical care, document what happened, and speak with a pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible.
