Danbury Personal Injury Attorneys Fighting For Your Recovery
Suffering an unexpected injury can turn your life upside down. From pain and injury to lost work and mounting medical bills, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. If insurance companies deny your claim, things can get even worse.
At Jones, Damia, Kaufman & DePaul, LLC, we are here to shoulder some of the stress you are under and fight for the compensation you deserve. We fight for you so you can focus on your recovery. Our attorneys are here to answer all your questions and help make the legal process less intimidating.
Types Of Cases We Handle
While our firm will take a variety of personal injury cases, our primary focus is on those involving motor vehicle accidents. Whether you have been rear-ended at a stoplight or sideswiped as a motorcyclist or you have suffered severe injuries in a truck accident, our firm fights for the full compensation you deserve to help pay for medical bills, lost wages and other expenses associated with your injuries.
For medical malpractice, slip-and-fall and product liability cases, we are prepared to tap our network of legal contacts to ensure that your case benefits from the most appropriate legal representation possible.
Insurance companies will almost always offer the lowest possible settlement. Having an attorney who will fight for what you deserve is crucial. This money is used to cover your medical expenses, lost wages and any rehabilitation treatment. We will demand justice for the harm the careless party has caused. You can be assured that your best interests will be represented every step of the way.
Attention To Detail Yields Rewards
We are not here to accept a quick settlement and call it a day. We take the time to handle things properly, evaluate every detail and hold any negligent party accountable. This can include everything from gathering witness statements, checking camera footage and reading through police reports. We thoroughly analyze your medical records to evaluate how badly you have been hurt, how you’ve been injured and when the injuries took place. We use this information to build the best possible case to secure the full compensation you deserve.
Answering FAQs About Your Fairfield County Personal Injury Case
Here are a few inquiries our attorneys hear a lot from injury clients:
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Connecticut?
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Connecticut is typically 24 months from the date of the incident. However, some types of injury claims can have different deadlines, such as those involving the state government or municipalities, medical malpractice, wrongful death or international torts. Speaking with a personal injury lawyer can help you understand how much time you have to file your claim and whether you have a shorter or longer deadline than what is listed in the statute of limitations.
What compensation can I recover in a Connecticut personal injury case?
Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be able to recover damages for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability/disfigurement
- Future treatment needs
If a loved one died due to negligence, you may be able to seek compensation for funeral expenses and other losses per Connecticut law.
Do I still have a case if I was partly at fault for the accident in Connecticut?
Yes, you can still have a case, even if you are partly at-fault for an accident. Since Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault. However, courts can reduce your compensation by your percentage of fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you may not be able to recover damages.
