Ridgefield Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
More than 3,000 successful personal injury claims. Over 30 years of experience seeking justice and compensation for injured victims and their families throughout the Danbury area.
The roads in Connecticut are curvy, windy and often poorly lit. A car or truck driver, distracted by a cell phone or cutting a corner, may not see a jogger in time. Unfortunately, taking your eyes off the road for a second or a bad turn can lead to devastating injuries for a pedestrian.
At the Law Offices of Harvey J. Kulawitz, LLC, I represent pedestrians who have suffered serious injuries after being hit by a vehicle. From spinal cord injuries and paralysis to traumatic brain injuries and broken bones, I understand the long-term costs of these injuries and can help you secure full and fair compensation.

Types of Pedestrian Accidents
During my more than 30 years of practice, I have found that most pedestrian accidents involve a confluence of circumstances, coming together at the same time and leading to a serious accident. For example, I recently represented a client who was struck in a crosswalk. My client patiently waited for the light to change or, as she put it, for "the little man to light up." When the light changed, she stepped into the crosswalk. At that same time, a driver drove through the red light, claiming the sun was in his eyes, and his vehicle struck her.
I have helped pedestrians injured in all types of accidents caused by a wide range of circumstances such as cases involving a pedestrian who was:
- Hit on the sidewalk by a vehicle's side mirror or by a vehicle jumping the curb
- Struck on a windy road by a vehicle quickly taking a sharp turn
- Hit by a vehicle backing out of a parking space
- Knocked down by a distracted driver on a cell phone
- Hit in a crosswalk or at an intersection by a driver running a red light
- An elderly woman who was killed while retrieving her mail at her mailbox and was struck by a distracted driver
No matter the circumstances, we will thoroughly investigate the cause of your accident. Through careful analysis and case preparation, we will work to secure the compensation you are entitled to receive for your injuries, including medical expenses, lost wages and damages for your pain and suffering.

Kulawitz, LLC. we will help you to recover the compensation that you are entitled to receive if you are the victim of a pedestrian accident.
