Claims for Serious Injury and Wrongful Death

When a member of your family suffers a fatal or permanently disabling injury you need to focus on emotional and medical healing. Instead, you are probably besieged by medical bills and insurance forms. Unfortunately, an insurance provider may well make an unreasonably low offer when you are least prepared to assess the long-term costs of your loss. Whether the injury was the result of an auto accident, an assault, or medical malpractice it is important that you seek well-qualified legal advice before making any statement to an insurance company representative or signing a settlement form.

If you would like to discuss your situation with one of our firm's personal injury attorneys, contact us at our offices in Milford, Connecticut. Our lawyers have extensive experience in evaluating the lifetime costs of traumatic brain injury (TBI), partial paralysis (paraplegia, quadriplegia, spinal cord damage), and other catastrophic injuries that significantly affect the quality of life, including assisted living care, or result in a loss of support to survivors following the death of a family member. We are sensitive to the difficulties you are experiencing. During this free consultation and case assessment we will give you information you need to get the compensation you need to take care of yourself and your family.

In some situations it is clear a death or injury was the result of the negligence of another. For example, a driver runs a stop sign or red light, and as a result an occupant of another vehicle suffers a closed head injury or severed limb, and the questions to be considered primarily involve the value of the insurance claim. In another case, as when a medical error has resulted in amputation of the wrong limb, brain damage, or wrongful death, the lawyer successfully demonstrating the cause of the injury needs to have access to the testimony of technical and medical experts, skillfully implement superior trial strategies, and have the support of experienced staff. Our attorneys have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to recover large settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients in complex claims.
