Common Injury Cases We Handle

Every injury is personal, but many come from familiar situations. Our experience with these cases helps us evaluate what happened and what compensation may be available for clients in West Haven and nearby communities.

• Motor vehicle crashes – intersection collisions, rear-end crashes, distracted driving incidents, and pedestrian accidents. We review police reports, medical records, and photos to establish fault and impact.
• Slip and fall / premises liability – injuries in stores, apartment buildings, parking lots, or private property caused by hazards like wet floors, poor lighting, broken steps, or ice. We assess notice of the hazard and maintenance responsibility.
• Nursing home neglect – cases involving bedsores, unexplained injuries, poor hygiene, or sudden health decline. We examine care records, staffing, and facility practices.
• Other premises liability incidents – falling objects, unsafe walkways, or negligent security leading to preventable injury.

In each case, we focus on proving liability, documenting your injuries, and pursuing compensation for medical care, lost income, and related losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We work on a contingency fee basis, so you do not pay us an attorney’s fee unless there is a recovery in your case. Your initial consultation is free. During that meeting, we explain our fee arrangement in detail so you understand how costs are handled before you decide.

How do I know if I have a valid injury claim?

The only way to know for sure is to have your situation reviewed under Connecticut law. During a free consultation, we look at how the injury happened, who may be responsible, and what harm you have suffered. We then explain whether a claim may be appropriate.

How long do I have to file a claim in Connecticut?

Connecticut has time limits, called statutes of limitations, for personal injury cases. These time limits depend on the type of claim and other factors. Because missing a deadline can affect your rights, it is wise to speak with an attorney as soon as possible about your specific situation.

Can you help if the insurance offer seems too low?

Yes. We regularly review offers from insurance companies for our clients. Drawing on our experience, including David Parnoff’s background as an insurance adjuster, we can evaluate whether an offer appears fair and negotiate on your behalf when we are retained to handle your claim.

What if I cannot travel to your office after my injury?

If your injuries make travel difficult, our attorneys can arrange home or hospital visits in this part of Connecticut when appropriate. We also offer phone and other remote options, as well as bilingual services, so you can receive guidance from a personal injury attorney without leaving your home or medical facility.
