Vehicle accidents are often tragic and usually preventable. Your life and the lives of your loved ones could be lost or damaged forever. After a serious collision that was someone else’s fault, it’s important to get the help you need now.
We represent car accident victims in New Haven County, and throughout the state, including West Haven, New Haven, East Haven, Orange, Derby, Ansonia, Woodbridge, and beyond.
Under Connecticut’s modified comparative fault laws, if you are found to be 51 percent or more at-fault for your accident, you are barred from recovering any compensation for your injuries. This is an important reason to have a skilled car accident attorney managing your injury claim. Auto accident lawyers know how to deal with insurance companies, and are aware of the tactics used by insurers to unfairly reduce or even deny compensation. By hiring representation you will have someone in your corner, fighting to ensure your legal rights are protected every step of the way.
Driver negligence is the primary cause of auto collisions. There are many additional factors that can contribute to a car crash:
Any activity that takes a driver’s eyes and concentration off the road can have tragic results. Using a cellphone and texting while driving are two of the deadliest and common distractions. Others include eating and drinking, conversing with passengers, adjusting the music or GPS, etc.
Drowsy driving can be just as dangerous as drunk driving. All drivers, including professional drivers, have an obligation to be alert on the road. If you or a loved one was injured in a truck accident, speak with an experienced Milford truck accident lawyer.
Alcohol and drug use can significantly impair a person’s basic driving abilities, such as slowing their reaction time and altering their vision. In 2017, out of all 50 states, Connecticut had the highest percentage of drunk driving fatalities according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Driving faster than the posted speed limits is a major factor in serious injury accidents. Other reckless actions include racing, making unsafe lane changes, and tailgating.
When a vehicle failure, such as a stuck accelerator pedal or faulty brakes, is due to a defective design or manufacturing, the auto manufacturer may be liable if an accident occurs. To learn more about a product liability lawsuit, speak with a Milford defective product attorney.
