Hartford Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
Our Attorneys Demand Justice for Hartford Injury Victims
Injured while crossing Asylum Street or Capitol Avenue in Hartford? Hit by a car in a crosswalk on Farmington Avenue or Prospect Street? Don't simply assume that you will be fairly compensated for your accident. Get the legal help you need to demand the compensation you deserve. Contact the Law Offices of Mark E. Salomone & Morelli.
Our Hartford pedestrian accident attorneys have years of experience successfully obtaining the compensation people need after they've been struck by a car or another vehicle. We know what evidence to look to hold drivers accountable for their actions. That's why we have such a strong track record of success, including millions for pedestrian accident victims throughout the state.
If you were hit crossing the street, don't wait to contact our law firm. A delay could affect your ability to obtain compensation. You only have 2 years in most cases to take legal action after a pedestrian accident in Connecticut due to the state's Statute of Limitations. That might seem like a long time. But the reality is building a strong legal case often takes much longer than many people realize. And the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to find the facts you need to win your case.

How did your pedestrian accident happen?
Pedestrian accidents can happen anywhere, whether you’re hit in a crosswalk, a parking lot, on a sidewalk, or while walking alongside a street. No matter how your pedestrian accident happened, our law firm can investigate the cause and gather evidence to establish liability. Some of the most frequent causes of pedestrian accidents we see in the Hartford area are:
- Speeding
- Failure to yield at crosswalks
- Distracted driving
- Impaired driving
- Failure to watch for pedestrians when turning
Common Pedestrian Accident Injuries
Pedestrian accidents can result in serious and potentially fatal injuries. When a pedestrian gets struck by a vehicle, the body often sustains trauma due to the impact. Such injuries can include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Chest and abdominal injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries
- Soft tissue injuries
You Deserve Money For All Your Expenses
If a driver caused your Hartford pedestrian accident, you should be paid for all your accident-related expenses. What you might not realize is just how many expenses your injury claim or lawsuit might include. That’s because insurance companies often only take into account short-term expenses immediately after your accident.
We think long-term. We know that many injuries can change Hartford pedestrians’ lives forever. That’s why we believe you should receive money for future expenses due to your injury. Such anticipated expenses can include:
- Follow-up surgery.
- Physical therapy.
- Prescription medications.
- Home modifications (installing a wheelchair ramp, for example).
- Hiring someone to help with household chores and anything else you’re unable to do as a result of your injury.
- Pain and suffering.
The average payout for a pedestrian accident claim ranges from $30,000 to $100,000. The greater the damages and pain and suffering, the higher your settlement or court award will likely be. Our Hartford pedestrian accident attorneys can estimate how much money you’re eligible to receive and fight to recover every dollar of it.
