Hartford, CT Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Pedestrian accidents are often caused by the driver’s negligence or recklessness. Distracted driving, failing to yield, or breaking other traffic laws can result in an accident. Unlike typical car crashes, a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle is far more dangerous. With no protection, even a bump from a car can send someone to the emergency room.

Victims can experience injuries ranging from broken bones and fractures to traumatic brain injuries that may leave them permanently disabled. Most are aware that they can pursue compensation for medical expenses, but there are several other areas a settlement can cover. Besides medical expenses, a victim can obtain compensation for lost wages, job rehabilitation, and permanent disability. Our legal team can also pursue compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Besides helping you with the initial claim process, we can also help you negotiate with the insurance companies. Families often make the mistake of accepting the first settlement that comes their way. They might not realize how expensive their short and long-term needs are, or they may believe that a better offer won’t come their way. Insurance companies are known for low-balling victims, but enough legal pressure can force them to offer a better deal. Insurance companies usually don’t want to go to trial, especially if they know there’s enough evidence to prove liability.
