Why Hire an Attorney for a Personal Injury Case?
Dealing with the at-fault party and their insurance company can be a frustrating, emotional and time-consuming process. The goal of an insurance company is to resolve your claim as quickly and for as little money as possible. The goal of your attorney is to obtain the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries and ensure that you are protected in the future. Your attorney’s sole job is to work on your behalf and fight the insurance company, in court if necessary, to obtain the best possible result.
If an insurance company has offered you a settlement and urged you to accept it, it is critical that you consult with an attorney prior to signing any release. Without an attorney, you may be signing away your right to additional compensation for your injuries.

What Our Clients Say
Matthew provided me tremendous help, explaining everything clearly and patiently to me. He is very experienced in handling traffic-related matters, telling me the possible outcomes of my case. After following what he advised, I got the best result of my case. Thank you so much.

When my son was accused, I had no idea who to call. A friend of a friend recommended Matt, so I called and left a message hoping I’d hear something before the office opened on Monday. Matt called us back early Sunday morning. I thought he was very personable, knowledgeable and caring – and we were complete strangers! We truly appreciated his advice in this trying time, and he was gracious enough to recommend a good lawyer to work with that was much closer to home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a case?
If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Because insurance companies aim to minimize payouts, it is important to speak with a personal injury attorney to understand your options and protect your rights.
What is my case worth?
The value of a case depends on several factors, and it can be difficult to estimate immediately after an accident. Your attorney will evaluate your situation, review similar past cases, and consider the following:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation costs
- Pain and suffering
- Therapy
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
Will I have to go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, a trial may be necessary if:
- The defendant refuses to offer a settlement
- The settlement offer is unreasonable
- Liability or damages are disputed
- The plaintiff chooses to go to trial
While trials are uncommon, it is important to understand why one may be required.
How long will my case take?
The timeline depends on the specifics of your case. Claims may take longer if injuries require ongoing treatment, if large sums are at stake, or if factual or legal issues are disputed. Settling quickly is possible but often results in significantly lower compensation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Each state has a statute of limitations. In Connecticut, you generally have two years from the date of the incident to file a claim. In some instances, precursory steps must be taken to preserve your claim. In these instances, you could end up losing your rights in as little as 90 days of proper procedures are not followed. Contact our attorneys promptly to protect your rights.
Should I accept the insurance company’s offer?
Insurance companies aim to minimize payouts. Initial settlement offers are typically far below the true value of a claim. An attorney can help you pursue fair compensation, even if the process takes longer.
Do I need a lawyer after an injury?
Most claimants benefit from legal representation. The process is complex, and insurance companies often use tactics that can reduce your compensation. Our firm offers free consultations, so seeking legal advice comes at no cost.
