Our Enfield Car Accident Attorneys Fight for Your Right to Fair Compensation
Connecticut law allows car accident victims to hold the at-fault driver accountable. They have a right to sue for compensation, although many recover a payout through an insurance claim based on the at-fault motorist’s auto liability coverage. This is essential since many drivers and passengers suffer serious or catastrophic injuries in collisions.
The recoverable damages in these cases vary widely. In general, those with more significant injuries and who require extensive treatment, monitoring, and support will recover more compensation. The factors that play a role in how much your case might be worth include:
- The severity of your injuries
- Your hospital bills and related expenses
- Your estimated future care costs, if any
- Your lost income while you miss work
- If you can return to work
- Any related expenses, such as traveling for treatment
- The pain and suffering you endured
- The cost to repair or replace your vehicle
Our attorneys also represent families whose loved ones died in Enfield car accidents. We know the Connecticut laws for navigating this process and recovering compensation for families who are mourning their loved one’s death.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 52-555, Connecticut only allows the executor of the estate to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Our lawyers work with this party to seek and secure compensation for surviving spouses, minor children, adult children, parents, or other immediate family members. Contact us today to learn more.
How Our Injury Lawyers Handle Enfield, CT, Car Accident Cases
Our attorneys meet with clients at the hospital, in local rehabilitation facilities, or in other locations where we can discuss their cases and begin to build a compelling argument for fair compensation. There is no trauma center in Enfield. Instead, Enfield EMS responds to the crash scene, and most of our clients are transferred to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA, or a Level I trauma center in Hartford, CT.
We are familiar with these facilities and can ensure you get the care you require to heal and rehabilitate while we build your case against the at-fault driver. While we often build cases and negotiate fair settlements, we will not hesitate to file a lawsuit in a Hartford County, court when needed. We believe in fighting for justice for our clients.
We hold motorists liable for their negligence, showing how their carelessness or recklessness caused a crash and the damages incurred. This requires us to investigate the collision and document the four required elements of negligence:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Harm
In a car accident case, all drivers have a duty of care. They must follow traffic laws to keep others on the road safe. Violating one of these laws is also a breach of this duty. The traffic law violation is often the proximate cause of an injury accident, where the victims suffer physically, emotionally, and financially.
Our Enfield attorneys use firm resources—time, money, experience, and a network of experts—to build a strong case that compels the insurance carrier or the judge and jury to award a fair payout to our client. Our investigation is essential to recovering fair compensation in these cases.

Our Enfield Lawyers Know How to Navigate the Car Accident Claims Process
When it comes to car accident cases, our Enfield, CT, attorneys navigate the process and hold at-fault drivers accountable regularly. We know what it takes to convince the insurance company adjuster or a judge or jury to pay a fair payment based on our client’s expenses and losses. This is how we hold the liable party accountable.
When we represent you in your case, we protect your rights while pursuing justice on your behalf. We investigate what happened and gather evidence to document the negligence that led to the accident and the damages you suffered. This evidence allows us to develop a compelling case for negotiations or litigation. Evidence in these cases could include:
- Official documents such as accident reports filed by law enforcement
- Eyewitness interviews
- Video of the crash, when available
- Accident reconstruction
- Relevant medical records showing injuries and required treatment
- Expert interviews or testimony
- Documentation of damages, such as medical bills and receipts
If we need to file a lawsuit in the Hartford Judicial District, our team will prepare and file the complaint with the court. This is the first step in litigating your case. Unless a settlement occurs, we will proceed through this process and take your case to trial, asking the judge or jury to award fair compensation based on the evidence presented.
How Do I Know When I Should Call an Enfield, CT, Car Accident Attorney?
We recommend calling an attorney to discuss your legal options and next steps as early as possible after a car accident. Even if you are not sure you need to hire a lawyer, you can discuss your case to learn more about what to expect and your rights. Our team provides free, confidential consultations for this purpose.
The sooner our attorneys are aware of a case and are hired to represent a crash victim, the stronger the case we build. This is because the evidence does not last. Some key clues about what happened could disappear within a few days of an accident. We need to identify and preserve as much evidence as possible. We can only do this if we are hired to handle your case early on.
Per Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 52-584, accident victims with injuries have only two years following a crash to begin a lawsuit against the liable party. Missing this deadline could jeopardize your rights to a fair payout. The judge could bar you from taking your case to trial, making it difficult or impossible to recover the money you need to pay your bills and cover your losses.
