Connecticut Personal Injury Lawyers Who Prepare Every Case for Trial
Insurance companies start building their defense the day of your accident. We start building yours.
You don't need to know whether you have a case. That's what the consultation is for. Our personal injury attorneys review the facts, give you a straight answer, and tell you exactly what we think your options are — before you commit to anything. If we take your case, we take it on contingency. You pay no legal fees unless and until we recover compensation for you.
Medical bills. Lost wages. Time away from work. Legal fees shouldn't be part of that list.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Connecticut
Every case type below has its own page with detailed information about how Connecticut law applies, what evidence matters, and what the recovery process looks like. Find the one that fits your situation.
If you were injured in a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle crash, or a slip and fall, you have a limited window to act. We take personal injury cases on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Our Groton, Guilford, and New Haven offices serve clients across New London County and beyond.
The most common personal injury cases in Connecticut — and among the most aggressively defended by insurance carriers. We handle rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, highway accidents, and multi-vehicle pileups.
Commercial truck crashes involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and insurers with dedicated defense teams. Early investigation is critical.
Motorcyclists face automatic bias from adjusters and juries. We counter that narrative with evidence, not arguments.
Connecticut cyclists injured by negligent drivers have the same legal rights as any other accident victim. We make sure those rights are enforced.
Pedestrian injuries are often severe. When a driver fails to yield, runs a red light, or strikes someone in a crosswalk, they are liable for the consequences.
Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they don't, and someone is hurt, they are accountable.

We take personal injury cases on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Our Groton, Guilford, and New Haven offices serve clients across New London County and beyond.
When a family loses someone due to another party's negligence, Connecticut law provides a path to compensation. We handle these cases with the care they require.
Distracted driving is now a leading cause of serious injuries on Connecticut roads. We know how to document it and prove it.
Defective products that cause injury create liability for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. If a product failed and hurt you, the cause may not be what it appears.
No Upfront Fees. No Risk to You.
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means we cover the cost of investigating, building, and litigating your case. You owe us nothing unless we recover compensation on your behalf. There are no hourly charges, no retainer requirements, and no invoices while your case is in progress.
This arrangement exists for a reason: it aligns our interests with yours. We only get paid when you do.
What Happens After You Contact Us
Step 1:
Free Case Evaluation
You tell us what happened. We ask questions, review the basic facts, and give you an honest assessment of whether you have a viable claim — at no cost and with no obligation to move forward.
Step 2:
Investigation and Evidence Preservation
Once we're retained, we move immediately. Accident reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, medical records, and physical evidence all have a shelf life. The earlier we're involved, the more we can preserve.
Step 3:
Building Your Case
We develop your case with trial in mind from the start. Attorney Keith Anthony spent four years as an active-duty JAG prosecutor trying courts-martial — he knows what evidence holds up under pressure and what doesn't. That discipline carries directly into how we prepare civil cases.
Step 4:
Negotiation
Most personal injury cases settle before trial. We negotiate from a position of demonstrated readiness — insurers know we will take a case to court if the offer doesn't reflect what the case is worth.
Step 5:
Trial or Resolution
If a fair settlement isn't reached, we try the case. If a fair offer is made, we advise you clearly on whether to accept it. The decision is always yours.
Connecticut Personal Injury Law: What You Need to Know Before You File
Statute of Limitations
Connecticut gives injured parties two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss that deadline and your claim is almost certainly barred — regardless of how strong the evidence is. Two years sounds like a long time. It isn't, once investigation, treatment, and negotiation are factored in.
Comparative Negligence
Connecticut follows a 51% modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found to be 51% or more at fault for the accident, you cannot recover compensation. If you are found to be 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance adjusters use this rule aggressively in the early stages of a claim to minimize what they pay. Having an attorney involved before you give a recorded statement protects your position.
What Compensation May Cover
A personal injury recovery in Connecticut can include medical expenses, future medical costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in some cases punitive damages. The right number depends on the facts of your case — which is why a case evaluation is the starting point, not a settlement figure pulled from a chart.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Connecticut
How do I find the best personal injury lawyer in Connecticut for my case?
Start with credentials, courtroom experience, and local knowledge. A lawyer who has actually tried cases — not just settled them — negotiates from a different position than one who hasn't. Look for peer recognition like Super Lawyers, verified client reviews, and a firm that handles your specific type of accident. A free consultation is the right place to evaluate fit before you commit.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Connecticut?
Connecticut's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you lose the right to sue — regardless of fault or injury severity. Contact an attorney well before that window closes, because investigation and pre-litigation work take time.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
You may still recover compensation. Connecticut's comparative negligence law allows you to recover as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. An attorney can help you assess how fault is likely to be allocated and what that means for your recovery.
What does a contingency fee mean in practice?
It means you pay no legal fees upfront and no legal fees during the case. Our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we don't recover anything, you owe us nothing. All fee arrangements are disclosed clearly at the start of the representation.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
There is no honest answer to that question without reviewing the facts of your specific case. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, the strength of the liability evidence, the insurance coverage available, and the impact on your daily life and earning capacity. The free consultation is where that conversation starts.
What should I do immediately after an accident in Connecticut?
Seek medical attention first — even if you feel fine. Document the scene if you can. Get contact information from witnesses. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Then call us. The steps you take in the first 48 hours have a direct effect on the strength of your claim.
