Bridgeport Pedestrians and Brain Injuries: What You Need to Know After a Crash

Posted by Lauren Beck | May 05, 2025 | 0 Comments


Getting hit by a car is every pedestrian's nightmare—but for many in Bridgeport, it's a devastating reality. Whether you were struck crossing Boston Avenue, Park Avenue, or near the Downtown Transit Center, one of the most dangerous and long-lasting injuries you could suffer is a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

These head injuries can be subtle at first—confusion, dizziness, or memory issues—but they often lead to serious, life-altering complications. I've represented numerous Bridgeport residents dealing with TBIs after pedestrian crashes, and here's what I want you to know:

TBI Symptoms Aren't Always Immediate

You don't have to lose consciousness to suffer a brain injury. Symptoms like:
• Headaches or blurred vision
• Difficulty concentrating
• Mood swings or sleep issues
often appear hours or days later. Early diagnosis is key.

Bridgeport Pedestrian Risk Is High

Major roadways like Main Street, East Main, and Capitol Avenue see heavy foot traffic—and too many distracted drivers. Crosswalks are frequently ignored, and speeding is common. If you were hit in one of these areas, there's a strong chance the driver is liable.

Legal Support Makes the Difference

Insurance companies move fast to protect their bottom line. Before you accept any settlement or provide a statement, speak with an attorney. A brain injury could cost you years of wages and ongoing care.

I offer free consultations to families facing this situation. If you or a loved one was hit in Bridgeport and is now living with a head injury, call today. Let's talk about your options and get you the help you need.
