Intersection and Corridor Collisions in Connecticut
Crashes in high-traffic corridors like Jefferson Avenue often occur at or near intersections where multiple streets converge, such as Roosevelt and Coleman. These locations carry an increased risk of collisions due to frequent turning movements, varying speeds, and limited visibility caused by parked vehicles or roadside structures.
When traffic is heavier in the evening, the likelihood of accidents rises—particularly in areas where commercial businesses attract additional vehicles and pedestrians. Even at lower speeds, intersection crashes can cause significant injuries, including whiplash, fractures, and head trauma.
Injury victims may face not only the challenges of physical recovery but also the stress of dealing with insurance claims, medical bills, and potential loss of income. Early medical assessment and proper documentation are crucial steps for both health and legal protection.
