Personal injury lawyers fighting for the rights of accident victims in Hartford

Hartford, Connecticut has a rich American history, settled in 1623 and going strong ever since. Located on the banks of the Connecticut River, our capital city attracts and employs a diverse population. We’re home to the nation’s oldest continually published newspaper (The Hartford Courant), the Mark Twain House, Trinity College, and countless museums and galleries.

Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful and comfortable your city or town is, accidents can still happen anywhere and at any time. And often, these accidents aren’t even your fault – they’re caused by the negligence of another person, product, or company. If this has happened to you, you need Hartford personal injury attorneys who advocate for you and fight for you. Contact Barry, Barall, Taylor & Levesque, LLC today.

What types of Hartford personal injury cases does your firm handle?

Our Hartford personal injury attorneys have experience standing up for clients who have been injured. Contact us for more information about any of the following injury claims:

  • Vehicle accidents. Vehicle crashes include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and Uber/Lyft and rideshare accidents. Vehicle accidents are often caused by distracted driving, drunk driving, driver fatigue, and failing to obey the local traffic laws.
  • Construction accidents. These accidents are often caused by site owners who fail to secure their property from known dangers and fail to warn pedestrians and drivers about the construction work.
  • Nursing home abuse includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and financial abuse. Nursing homes are also liable if their negligence causes a resident to suffer injuries or die.
  • Premises liability. Property owners have a duty to people who use their property to inspect the property for dangerous conditions – and to repair those dangerous conditions promptly.
  • Product liability. The manufacturers of car, truck, and motorcycle parts, electronic products, toys, tools, and other consumer and commercial products have a duty to ensure their products are not defective.
  • Sexual assault. The person who commits a sexual assault, and entities who failed to take reasonable steps to stop sexual abuse, may be liable for any injuries the victim suffers.

Our Hartford personal injury lawyers also file wrongful death claims when a spouse, parent, or child tragically dies to the negligence or fault of another person or company.

What are common injuries from Hartford accidents?

Every accident is unique, as is every victim’s way and timeline of healing. What took your neighbor a week to heal from may take you several months. Any type of injury, no matter how big or small, has the potential to become serious or even life-threatening. We have a broad array of experience and the tenacity to fight for your rights. We’ve helped clients secure compensation for things like:

Often called “catastrophic injuries,” physical trauma like amputation, brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries are particularly traumatic, as they can cause lifelong disability and pain.

Victims often need to be seen by an ER doctor. Many patients require surgery. Most accident victims need to see specialists such as orthopedists and pain management doctors. Many personal injury victims also see different types of therapists including physical, vocational, and occupational therapists.

When someone else is careless with your life or the life of your loved one, we will not back down in our pursuit of justice. We demand compensation for all the pain and suffering you endure, and all the ways the injuries prevent you from living the life you led before the accident occurred.

The personal injury attorneys at Barry, Barall, Taylor & Levesque, LLC fight for you.

What steps should you take after an accident?

If you are involved in an accident in Hartford County, Connecticut, your first priority should be to seek medical attention. Then, if you need legal guidance, our personal injury lawyers can come to you to talk about what happened while the details are still fresh.

If you are physically able to (immediately after the accident occurs), you should try to take photos of the accident site and all vehicles if the accident was a vehicle accident. You should take photos of yourself - at your worst.

Drivers need to exchange contact and insurance information with the other drivers involved in the accident.

How can a Hartford personal injury lawyer help?

Nobody can give you your life or your health back after you’ve suffered an injury in an accident. Depending on the situation, you could take months or years to heal, or even suffer permanent disability. Recovering from serious injuries takes time, money, and an emotional toll. But when your accident wasn’t your fault, you do have legal options – and we can help.

At Barry, Barall, Taylor & Levesque, LLC, we work aggressively to determine how your accident occurred, and who should be held responsible. We often work with investigators who investigate the accident and speak with witnesses. We conduct extensive discovery to help prove your accident was due to negligence, or that a manufacturer is strictly liable for your accident. Our personal injury lawyers work with your doctors to understand your diagnosis, and all the ways your injuries have changed your life.

We negotiate with insurance adjusters to try to settle your case. We have a strong track record of success negotiating personal injury cases for the policy limits or for amounts that justly compensate you for your injuries.

We are always ready to try your case before a jury. Our personal lawyers have the skills and resources to present your case in court and persuasively argue why the defendants should be held liable for all the damages you suffered.

What is my personal injury case in Hartford worth?

Every case and every injury is different. If you are injured due to the fault of another, we demand the following damages for you:

  • Your medical bills. We ensure you keep organized track of your doctor visits, bills, insurance paperwork, costs of prescription medication, and any other costs associated with your accident and injuries.
  • Your lost income. Have you had to take time off work? Have you lost paychecks and wages? You can include these losses in your personal injury case.
  • Pain and suffering. If you’re suffering from anxiety, depression, or any other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), you may also be eligible for compensation for these losses.

You may also be entitled to other damages if you have a permanent disability or if you have scarring or disfigurement. Your spouse or civil partner can file a loss of consortium claim for the loss of intimacy, companionship, and household services due to the victim’s personal injuries.

In egregious cases, you can demand punitive damages to punish the wrongdoers for their misconduct.

The hardworking attorneys at Barry, Barall, Taylor & Levesque, LLC are committed to making you whole again – both physically and financially. We’re not afraid to stand up for you against insurance companies or big manufacturers. You deserve justice.

What are the statutes of limitations in a Hartford personal injury case?

When did your injury occur? Or when did you first discover it? Here in Connecticut, there is generally a two-year statute of limitations on personal injury cases, as laid out in G.S. Chapter 52-584, though some claims may have longer or shorter statutes. Speak to a lawyer quickly so you don’t miss this deadline. It takes time to file legal actions.
