$527K Verdict for Injured Pedestrian
An injured pedestrian's story reveals the harsh realities of traffic accidents and the impact on life and work due to serious injuries.
VERDICT SPOTLIGHT: $527,215.28 AWARDED AFTER HEARING IN PEDESTRIAN INJURY CASE
Our client was doing something many of us do every day – simply crossing the street. But what should have been a routine walk turned tragic when he was struck by a motor vehicle in Hartford, Connecticut.
This devastating pedestrian accident left our client with life-changing injuries including: an orbital fracture, chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain, nerve damage, dizziness, and headaches. He was unable to return to work due to his injuries. Additionally, he lost the ability to play music at his church and enjoy several other hobbies that kept him active and fulfilled.
Despite the severity of his injuries, the driver and the company he worked for NEVER showed up to court. Both defendants defaulted by failing to appear and ignoring the pain and financial hardship they had caused.
While they were absent, we showed up prepared.
At a remote hearing in damages, Attorney Angela Edwards,one of our experienced pedestrian accident attorneys, presented compelling evidence of our client’s physical, emotional, and financial losses.
The court awarded:
- $127,215.28 in economic damages (medical bills and lost income)
- $400,000 in non-economic damages (pain, suffering, and future losses)
- Total: $527,215.28
