Traffic accidents are a fact of modern life. Crashes bring personal injury, pain, disability, and medical bills. At worst, a car accident can bring death. Accidents are caused by negligent drivers who text, speed, follow too closely, make unsafe turns and drive drunk. We know what it is like for you to be injured in a car, truck or motorcycle accident because we have over 30 years experience helping clients get the compensation they deserve when they have been hurt in a collision. Our experience has given us a pretty good idea of how insurance companies, courts and juries evaluate auto accident claims. We can even help you recover money if the driver who caused your motor vehicle accident fled the scene or did not have insurance.

Connecticut workers' compensation law provides disability and medical benefits to workers who suffer injury at work. The workers' compensation claim process was meant to work easily and quickly but often does not. Insurance companies resist paying benefits on claims. Employers sometimes try to keep injured employees from filing claims for workplace accidents. Delay and lack of information can cause you to lose your rights. If you are injured on the job, call us at 860 236-9350 for a free consultation. We will take the time to explain the benefits available to you and give you the information you need. We will fight to make sure you get the payments you deserve. We will explain when it makes sense to close out your case and we will use our 30 years experience and knowledge of the law to get you the best possible settlement for your workers' compensation case.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

A brain injury can be catastrophic to the injured person and his or her family. Traumatic brain injuries can be caused by direct blows to the head, whiplash, falls, concussions and car and motorcycle accidents. Even a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause severe symptoms such as headaches, confusion, vision problems, slurred speech, loss of balance and psychological problems. Recovery may require months or years of medical treatment and rehabilitation therapy, including nursing home and convalescent hospital care. If you or a loved one have been in an accident and suffered a concussion, closed head injury or other traumatic brain injury, you can rely on our law firm's skill and 30 years experience to recover the compensation you need to pay for medical care, disability, and at-home living assistance.

A dog attack is a frightening, painful experience that can leave permanent physical and psychological scars. Persons who own or keep a dog are responsible for the injuries caused by their dog. We have 30 years experience helping adults and children receive compensation for dog bite attacks. Homeowner liability insurance usually pays for these claims. The law allows injured persons to recover payment for medical bills, scars, pain, suffering and the shock and fear caused by the attack. There are special laws in Connecticut for animal attack cases. Call us for a free consultation if you or your child have been the victim of a dog bite or other animal attack.

Fall down accidents, which often result in fractures and other severe injuries, are difficult personal injury cases. Juries are usually surprised when a court case is about someone who fell. They may think the person who got hurt was just clumsy. This preconception must be recognized and overcome for the victim of a slip and fall accident to get proper compensation. To get compensated, a victim of a fall down accident has to overcome the "too small, too large" problem. If the defect is small, there's no case. If the defect is large, why didn’t the person who fell notice it? We have the experience and understanding of the law to present the best possible case for a fall down victim to receive the payment he or she deserves. If you have been injured in a fall down accident, whether due to uncleared ice or snow, dark or defective stairways, slippery substances on supermarket floors, call us.
