Pedestrian Accident

Walkers fill the sidewalks around Elizabeth Park, Farmington Avenue and downtown Hartford. Connecticut drivers have to give way to anyone in a crosswalk or one who signals an intent to cross, and the fine for failing to yield rose to $750 in 2025. A driver who carelessly seriously injures a pedestrian can also be fined under the vulnerable user law.
