As with any accident causing injury, time is not on your side. Promptly hiring an experienced accident attorney is crucial. This office has dedicated 15 years to accident victims and their families. Negligence is the number one cause of motor vehicle accidents. Proof of negligence takes many forms. Damage to automobiles, skid marks, cuts, bruises, broken bones from the occupants of the vehicles, statements from witnesses, scientific measurements are just a few.

The time to photograph damage to person or property and to obtain witness statements is as soon as possible following an accident. Delay of even one week can result in the loss of crucial evidence.

Notice requirements for certain types of negligence are very limiting. In Connecticut, to pursue a claim against a municipality for a defective roadway, proper notice must be given within 90 days of the incident. To sue a bar or tavern for overseeing alcohol to a patron who causes a drunk driving accident, notice must be given within 180 days. Our office was involved in creating new case law in this area when we obtained a verdict against a Tavern owner for negligent supervision of its employees. Please see Seguro v. Cummiskey in our Verdicts and Settlements page. Suits against State affiliated hospitals, such as the John Dempsey Hospital have severely limiting notice statutes.

There is never a reason to delay contacting a personal injury lawyer to ask if you have a case. Our consultation for any injury case is always free. Consultations can take place over the phone or via email or in person at your home or in a hospital, if needed. THE DELAY IN CONTACTING AN EXPERIENCED PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER COULD RESULT IN THE LEGAL FORECLOSURE OF YOUR RIGHTS. I have personally talked to hundreds of people who waited too long to pursue a claim and in some cases the claim was potentially worth millions of dollars. When I see people deserving of lawful compensation lose out because of delay, it makes me cringe. It is such a waste.

If you accident has resulted in serious or disabling injuries, hire a law firm with the experience and talent to get the job done right. We have represented people permanently disabled by brain injury, paralysis or surgical error. Attorney Ferry holds a B.S. in Accounting, which is useful in presenting significant economic damage claims such as complete loss of earning capacity or significant diminution of wage potential. We constantly hone our trial skills by litigating criminal cases and family cases. These cases provide far more day to day court hearings than personal injury cases where most pretrial issues are decided without any hearing.

Terrible injury can happen to anyone of us at any time because of a defective product, dog attack, auto or truck accident or work place injury on a construction site. We have handled all of these cases and have worked with experts in every type of case imaginable. We expect to recover the maximum for all of our clients and have the tools and expertise to bring in large verdicts. Currently we have several construction accident cases. In one case we will be attempting to pierce the corporate veil of the at fault Construction Company because it carried only two million dollars of insurance which will not come close to properly compensating our client. We have also successfully settled significant burn injury cases. These cases often take special experts to explain the mechanism of the burn where liability is contested.

Whatever your injury might be, we have the knowledge, the talent and the commitment to take your case all the way. Not so surprisingly, that recipe results in very favorable settlements. In fact we regularly take in new clients who have fired other attorneys because the lawyer told them to settle for a figure the client just did not think was right. In many of these cases, we have obtained settlements for the client that exceeded the other attorney’s best figure by 25%-450%! In one recent case, our client had been represented by one of the most prominent television lawyers in Connecticut. That office told our client to accept $12,000.00 to settle her case. We obtained a second opinion from a local orthopedic doctor which favorably changed the case. It settled with six months of the client hiring us for $68,000.00.
