What Should Drivers Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Connecticut?
After a pedestrian accident in Connecticut, drivers should stop immediately, call 911, provide aid if it is safe to do so, and exchange information with the injured person and responding officers. State law requires drivers to remain at the scene and cooperate with authorities.
You should check on the pedestrian’s condition and request medical assistance right away. Even if injuries appear minor, emergency evaluation remains important. Head injuries, fractures, and internal trauma may not show symptoms immediately.
