    • Rideshare companies, such as Uber or Lyft
    • The trucking companies involved in the shipment

    • Licensed sellers of alcohol who sell to a visibly intoxicated person and cause an injury due to that intoxication
    • The Connecticut Department of Transportation or other governmental agencies/entities, although claims involving governmental agencies may be subject to special notice requirements and immunity rules under Connecticut law

    • A parent company or subsidiary
    • A tenant

How much is my personal injury claim worth?

We can advise you of the available damages you may recover based upon your injuries, your financial damages, and all your personal suffering. In Connecticut, your damages for a personal injury claim generally include:

  • Current and future medical expenses, including emergency care, surgeries, hospital stays, doctor visits, rehabilitative care, assistive devices, and medications
  • Current and future loss of income, and the loss of employment benefits
  • Physical pain and emotional suffering
  • Property damage
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of bodily function
  • Inability to enjoy life’s pleasures

If an accident or assault is fatal, our Manchester personal injury lawyers pursue a wrongful death claim through the decedent’s estate. Recoverable damages may include medical and funeral expenses, lost earning capacity, loss of life’s enjoyment, and any conscious pain and suffering experienced before death. In certain cases, a surviving spouse may also bring a separate loss-of-consortium claim.

We can seek punitive damages where the law permits—typically for reckless or willful misconduct. In Connecticut, punitive damages are generally limited to litigation expenses unless a statute provides otherwise.

We can negotiate with the insurance company to reach the maximum settlement possible on your claim, and if necessary, we can fight for you in court if the insurer fails to be reasonable.

How much time do I have to file a personal injury claim in Connecticut?

Under Connecticut law, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years from the date the injury is first sustained or discovered, or reasonably should have been discovered, and in no event more than three years from the act or omission complained of. Other claims can have different deadlines.

Don’t wait. Call us as soon as possible so we can investigate your claim while everyone’s memory is fresh, and so we can ensure you are seeing the healthcare providers that you should.
