Car Accidents in Connecticut
Serious car accidents happen every day across Connecticut, especially in busy cities like New Haven, where traffic is heavy and intersections are often crowded. Crashes involving multiple vehicles, like the one at Ella T. Grasso Boulevard and Washington Avenue, can cause devastating injuries and long-term challenges for victims and their families.
Common causes of car accidents in Connecticut include:
- Distracted driving, such as texting or adjusting controls
- Speeding, which reduces reaction time and worsens crash impacts
- Impaired driving from alcohol or drugs
- Ignoring traffic signals is a frequent cause of dangerous intersection wrecks
- Failure to yield when turning or merging
Even one driver’s mistake can trigger a chain reaction that harms several people at once.
Multi-vehicle crashes often lead to severe injuries such as spinal damage, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries. Victims may spend weeks in the hospital and face months of recovery and therapy. Medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma can overwhelm families.
If you sustained injuries in a car accident in Connecticut, you may be entitled to compensation. This can cover medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs. However, proving fault and negotiating fair payment can be challenging, especially after a complex multi-vehicle wreck.
