Rear-end car accidents are one of the most common types of motor vehicle collisions in Connecticut. While it is true that the driver who collides into the back of another vehicle is at fault most of the time, this is not always or automatically the case. When a rear-end car accident takes place, an investigation will be conducted to determine fault and financial responsibility.

Pedestrians are known as the most vulnerable road users because they are at the highest risk of suffering severe and fatal injuries in traffic accidents. According to Connecticut crash data, 1,348 collisions involved pedestrians in 2022. Connecticut recently passed new laws in an effort to better protect pedestrians from motor vehicle collisions.
