Guiding You Through Your Car Accident Claim

After you have been involved in a car accident, especially one that leaves you injured, you are likely to have many questions about what to do next.

  • How will you get the medical treatment you need for your injuries?
  • How will you afford that treatment, while being able to pay for other monthly expenses?
  • What if you cannot return to work right away after the accident?

It is important for drivers and the victims of car accidents in Connecticut to understand their rights and what they are entitled to in terms of compensation.

By talking with an experienced auto accident attorney, you will get honest answers to these and other questions you may have about the recovery process.

Considerations Following A Car Accident

In any car accident, there are several considerations that you should take into account when determining medical treatment options and the availability of compensation. It is important to have an accurate description of the accident and any injuries that were suffered in the accident, especially back injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and others that may require continuing care.

It is also important for victims to understand their insurance policies to know what benefits they may be entitled to receive. If the other driver did not have insurance, or did not have enough insurance to provide adequate compensation, I can help you understand the process.
