Waterford Pedestrian Accident Lawyer

Pedestrian accidents can happen in an instant, leaving victims with serious injuries and overwhelming medical bills. As someone who has spent over 20 years representing personal injury victims in Connecticut, I understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these accidents can take.


Whether it’s a crosswalk incident, a hit-and-run, or a distracted driver scenario, victims often face challenges navigating insurance claims, medical treatment, and legal procedures simultaneously.


In these situations, having an experienced Waterford pedestrian accident lawyer by your side can make all the difference. I provide personalised guidance, taking the time to understand every detail of your accident and its impact on your life. My goal is to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve while minimising stress during what is often a difficult time.


Pedestrian accidents often result in:

  • Broken bones or fractures

  • Head and spinal injuries

  • Soft tissue damage

  • Emotional trauma and anxiety

  • Lost wages due to the inability to work

Understanding these risks is the first step in building a strong case. I work closely with medical professionals, accident reconstruction experts, and insurance companies to ensure your case is thoroughly documented and prepared for maximum compensation.

Why Choose Me as Your Waterford Pedestrian Accident Lawyer


When it comes to personal injury law, attention to detail and direct client involvement are key. At Santoro Law Injury, I personally handle every case from start to finish, ensuring that nothing is overlooked and that you have a direct line to your attorney. Unlike larger firms, where your case might be handed off to an associate or paralegal, I am fully invested in your outcome.


I take the time to investigate each accident, gather evidence, and interview witnesses. Every case is unique, and I tailor my approach to reflect the circumstances of your accident. My experience in Connecticut law has shown me that personalised attention, clear communication, and thorough preparation are the elements that lead to successful outcomes.


By choosing me as your Waterford pedestrian accident lawyer, you gain:

  • Direct attorney involvement from start to finish

  • Personalised strategy for your specific accident

  • Compassionate support during recovery and legal proceedings

I also prioritise communication. I ensure that clients are informed and supported throughout the legal process. Whether it’s via phone, email, or in-person meetings, you will always know where your case stands.


Steps I Take to Build Your Case

Handling a pedestrian accident claim requires a strategic approach. I begin by reviewing the accident circumstances, obtaining police reports, medical records, and any available surveillance or eyewitness accounts. Each piece of evidence is crucial to establishing liability and proving the extent of your injuries.


Once the evidence is gathered, I work to calculate the full scope of damages. This includes medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and any long-term effects that may affect your quality of life. I also engage accident reconstruction specialists if necessary, to clarify fault in complex cases.


Some key steps I follow in representing pedestrian accident victims include:



  • Conducting a thorough investigation of the accident

  • Collecting and preserving critical evidence

  • Coordinating with medical professionals for accurate injury documentation

  • Calculating all present and future damages related to the accident

  • Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation

  • Preparing cases for trial if a settlement cannot be reached

Each of these steps is handled with precision and care, keeping your best interests as my top priority. I understand that every accident has a unique impact, and I work to ensure that all aspects of your losses are recognised and compensated.

Why Prompt Legal Action Matters

Time is critical after a pedestrian accident. Connecticut has statutes of limitations that limit the period during which you can file a claim. Acting promptly ensures that evidence is preserved, witnesses can be located, and your case is filed within the required timeframe.


As your Waterford pedestrian accident lawyer, I encourage clients to contact me as soon as possible after an accident. Early intervention allows me to:

  • Secure essential evidence before it is lost or altered

  • Document injuries and medical treatment accurately

  • Preserve witness testimony

  • Begin settlement negotiations with insurance companies

Prompt legal action can significantly impact the outcome of your case, helping you pursue the maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering. As a trusted accident lawyer, I understand the urgency of these matters and handle every case efficiently while maintaining the personalized attention each client deserves, whether it involves personal injury, dog bites, or workers' compensation claims.


Choosing Santoro Law Injury means you have a dedicated advocate focused entirely on protecting your well-being and legal rights. I take on the complex legal work so you can focus on recovery, confident that your case is being handled with care, precision, and experience.
