Does Auto Insurance Cover Pedestrian Injuries in Manchester, CT?
In Connecticut, auto insurance can cover injuries after a Manchester pedestrian accident, and in many cases, the at-fault driver’s liability insurance is the primary source of compensation for a person hit by a car. Since the state follows an at-fault system, the driver who causes a crash is financially responsible for the injuries and damages that result, and their liability policy covers medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses up to the policy limits.
Head trauma and broken bones often require hospitalization, surgery, and extended rehabilitation. Treatment costs can escalate quickly, and many pedestrian injury survivors face weeks or months away from work during recovery. When medical expenses exceed what a driver’s insurance covers, identifying all available sources of compensation becomes especially important.
Connecticut gives injured pedestrians two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Acting early helps preserve evidence, secure witness accounts, and ensure that all insurance options are fully explored before deadlines pass.
