Pedestrian Accidents

Pedestrian Accident Lawyer in Hartford, CT

Whether caused by drivers in a hurry or the distractions of cellphones and other car technology, car accidents carry much more risk of causing injury to pedestrians and bicyclists than the drivers they share the road with.

We at the Adler Law Group, LLC, are committed to helping accident victims throughout Connecticut seek the compensation they deserve for injuries caused by driver negligence. Our attorneys are experienced in handling the evidence gathering and advocacy necessary to ensure that legitimate victims of accidents are fairly compensated for their injuries.

How Pedestrian Accidents Happen

Pedestrians and bikers can be injured by drivers in a number of ways. Drivers may fail to yield to a pedestrian entering a crosswalk. They may not give the required three feet of distance to bicycles sharing the road. They could be distracted by a cellphone, an in-car navigation system or a passenger.

As experienced personal injury attorneys, we know how to look at the facts of an accident and determine how to get the most compensation for our clients’ injuries. We understand the applicable laws and have successfully obtained financial relief for:

• Medical expenses
• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional pain and suffering
• Lost wages

Getting the compensation our clients need to make themselves whole is our top priority. In cases where a victim of a pedestrian or bicycle accident has died from his or her injuries, we may be able to represent the surviving family in a wrongful death suit.

Pedestrian Accidents in Hartford, CT: FAQs

What should I do if the driver who hit me is uninsured?

If the driver who caused the pedestrian accident is uninsured, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own insurance policy if you have uninsured motorist coverage. An experienced pedestrian accident lawyer in Hartford, CT, like Adler Law Group, LLC Attorneys at Law, can help you explore your options and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

How long do I have to file a pedestrian accident claim in Hartford, CT?

In Connecticut, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including pedestrian accidents, is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, there may be exceptions depending on the specifics of your case. It's important to contact a pedestrian accident lawyer in Hartford, CT, like Adler Law Group, LLC Attorneys at Law, as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate time frame.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the pedestrian accident?

Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation if you were partially at fault for the accident, as long as your level of fault does not exceed 50%. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. Adler Law Group, LLC Attorneys at Law can help you navigate this complex legal standard and fight for the best possible outcome in your case.

What types of compensation can I recover in a pedestrian accident case?

In a pedestrian accident case, you may be eligible to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your injuries.
