Our Plymouth attorneys have secured significant settlements for pedestrians suffering from concussions, spinal injuries, and broken bones.
Injured while crossing Route 6 or walking near Lake Plymouth? Our Plymouth pedestrian accident lawyers are dedicated to fighting for victims’ rights and securing maximum compensation.
Free ConsultationPlymouth, a charming town in Litchfield County, offers walkable streets in Terryville and scenic areas near the Naugatuck River, but pedestrians face significant risks from speeding drivers and busy roadways. According to the Connecticut Crash Data Repository, pedestrians are far more likely to suffer severe injuries or fatalities than vehicle occupants, with areas like Plymouth reporting a rise in pedestrian crashes. At The Nicholas Law Firm, our Plymouth pedestrian accident lawyers combine decades of experience with deep local expertise to secure substantial compensation for injured walkers and their families.
High-risk zones include the intersections of Route 6 and Main Street in Terryville, where commuter and commercial traffic converge, and pedestrian-heavy areas near Eli Terry Jr. Middle School. Accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, fractures, or spinal damage, requiring extensive medical care. We work closely with the Plymouth Police Department and medical professionals at nearby Waterbury Hospital to build evidence-driven claims using police reports, traffic data, and medical records.
The Nicholas Law Firm has recovered millions for pedestrian accident victims across Northwest Connecticut, leveraging aggressive advocacy and a thorough understanding of Plymouth’s unique roadways. Whether you were struck in a crosswalk near the Terryville Public Library, hit by a distracted driver on Route 72, or injured on a path near Lake Plymouth, we’ll fight for compensation covering medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation.
Drivers failing to yield hit pedestrians crossing roads, whether in marked crosswalks or between intersections.
Vehicles reversing from driveways or parking spaces strike pedestrians due to limited visibility or failure to check mirrors.
Drivers flee after striking pedestrians, leaving victims without immediate help or responsible party identification.
Running red lights leads to collisions with pedestrians lawfully crossing, often causing severe injuries.
Texting or other distractions cause drivers to miss pedestrians, especially in crosswalks or near intersections.
Drivers turning right on red without checking for pedestrians cause preventable accidents.
Excessive speed reduces reaction time and increases injury severity in pedestrian collisions.
Impaired drivers with reduced judgment and reaction times are more likely to hit pedestrians.
Taking these steps after a pedestrian accident can strengthen your claim:
Injuries like fractures, concussions, or internal damage need prompt medical attention and documentation for your claim.
Photograph the accident site, vehicle damage, and injuries to support your Connecticut pedestrian accident claim.
Contact local police or Connecticut State Police for an official report, including driver and witness details.
Don’t post about the accident or injuries; insurers may use posts to dispute your personal injury claim.

When it comes to high standards, The Nicholas Law Firm has set the bar extremely high. They took on my injury case and helped me get my life back on track, something I am truly grateful for and find humbling. I highly recommend Jeff and the entire Nicholas Law Firm team to anyone needing help to overcome life’s toughest obstacles. Greatest thanks to everyone at The Nicholas Law Firm!
If not for this attorney when my life was upside down, I don't think I'd be where I am today. I used both offices Wtby and Torrington. He made me feel right at home. He fought endless hours against a company known to have attorneys working for them and always winning. WELL NOT ANYMORE. I SEND EVERYONE TO HIM. He fights and fights AND WINS.
I had a complicated case involving multiple insurances, lawyers, and injuries. They handled everything, including Medicare issues, and even resolved a child support payment problem caused by the insurance, preventing legal trouble. They also resolved my Social Security issue without a hearing and assisted with a small family matter. Truly an outstanding law office.
I called Jeff, and the next day, and he followed up right away, helping me resolve the issue with no impact on my insurance. I’ve learned my lesson and won’t be speeding anymore, but if I ever need legal expertise again, I’ll call Jeff immediately. He is knowledgeable, caring, easy to work with, and truly the best.
Thank you to Cindy at the law office for being so informative about our situation and guiding us in the right direction. Your support made a stressful time much easier to navigate.

Attorney Nicholas and his team have provided me with legal advice and assistance on several occasions. The firm is knowledgeable, efficient, and completed all services I requested in a timely manner. I highly recommend Attorney Nicholas to anyone seeking a competent attorney who truly goes the extra mile for his clients.
First, I want to say that I am blessed to have Attorney Jeff Nicholas and his law firm representing me. They have been patient and reassuring during the tough times of surgery and the ongoing battle with workers’ compensation. They have represented me for over 14 years, and although the fight isn’t finished, I know I am in good hands and that they are working for what’s best for me and my family. Many thanks!
After feeling like the insurance company was taking advantage of me, I contacted The Nicholas Law Firm. Not only were they kind and professional, but they also explained everything fully and simply to me, and more than doubled my original expectations for the settlement.
I can't say enough about attorney Nicholas. Ever since Jeff took on my Workers Comp case I couldn't be happier. His knowledge, experience, and staff are awesome. I would highly recommend attorney Nicholas to anyone. As it say on his billboard, "we got your back",and he absolutely does.
