Our Fairfield Lawyers Represent Many Types of Injury Cases
Personal injury covers a wide array of cases, and our lawyers are ready to represent you in such cases as:
Auto Accidents
In 2023, data from UCONN’s Connecticut Crash Data Repository shows that Fairfield had almost 2,000 crashes, with over 4,800 people involved. Major highways and busy roadways in Fairfield, like I-95, Merritt Parkway, U.S. 1, and Black Rock Turnpike see accidents regularly. We help with accidents involving:
- Automobiles
- Commercial trucks
- Motorcycles
- Pedestrians
- Bicyclists
Premises Liability Claims
Property owners, managers, and other parties are typically responsible for any hazards on their properties. They should remove or address hazards, make an attempt to do so, or at least give others sufficient warning. When they fail to keep the property safe, they could be liable for harm.
These types of cases include but are not limited to:
- Dog bites
- Slip and fall accidents
- Machinery accidents, like elevator accidents
Class Action and Mass Tort Claims
Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC also represents people who are involved in class action lawsuits and multidistrict litigation. Sometimes, companies or other entities take certain actions or have defective products that hurt multiple people across the state or even the country. Our lawyers can represent you and help you join these mass torts.
Medical Malpractice
When a medical professional’s care falls below the accepted standard of care for their field, our Fairfield malpractice attorneys are here to represent you. We understand Connecticut malpractice laws, and we’re prepared to fight for damages to address your injuries, pain and suffering, and other associated losses.
Our Injury Lawyers Are Dedicated to Representing Your Interests
Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC believes equal protection under the law applies to everyone. But, as anyone going through a personal injury lawsuit or medical malpractice case is aware, this notion is merely theoretical. In reality, corporations, insurance companies, and negligent individuals employ a variety of tactics to avoid responsibility.
Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC fights for individuals whose safety was placed behind profits. We have strongly believed in this conviction since our start in 1938, and our excellent record of results supports our mission. We are devoted to representing those unable to protect themselves and we go the extra mile for every client.
We Offer Personalized Legal Representation to Every Client
Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC’s lawyers take a focused and personalized approach with every case. Our staff gets to know every individual, including his or her concerns, and we personally care about each client customer.
Our attorneys guide you with expertise through planning, negotiation, trial preparation, and litigation phases, and in the courtroom, they bring a strategy of persistence and dedication.
As a result of this approach, our Fairfield lawyers take on a limited number of cases, and we spend a great deal of time on each. In the process, we ensure a client’s rights are properly protected, and customers only pay when financial compensation is obtained.
We Want to Make This Process Stress Free
No matter what kind of accident caused your injuries, you’re likely coping with a lot right now. It can be hard to know what steps to take next, but Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC can help guide you in the right direction and ease some of the burden for you.
- We will deal with insurance companies. The back-and-forth communications with insurers and other parties can be overwhelming, especially when you are trying to find your new normal. Our Fairfield personal injury lawyers will communicate with these parties on your behalf, giving you the time to recover while protecting your right to seek damages.
- Our team will handle evidence collection. Evidence is essential to any personal injury claim but collecting it can be a challenge for injured victims. Our team will handle gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, tracking down reports from the Fairfield Police Department, and speaking to various experts who can support your claim.
- Our lawyers will handle all paperwork and procedural requirements. The civil procedures for a personal injury case can be complex and confusing, but there’s no need for you to handle any of this on your own. Our injury attorneys will manage deadlines and file all necessary forms and other Bridgeport Judicial District court requirements. We will keep you informed throughout this entire process, letting you know the status of your case and what you need to do, if anything.
- We’ll take charge of negotiations with insurance companies. When possible, we will sit down with the other party and their representatives to come up with a settlement offer that meets your needs. Sometimes, insurers will cooperate in these discussions and offer a fair settlement. Other times, however, they are not willing to agree to an amount that compensates you fully. Our Fairfield personal injury lawyers will provide guidance on any offers the other party makes, and if it’s worth settling or not.
- Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC will go to trial on your behalf. When insurers won’t settle or make a fair offer, we are prepared to represent you in court. We don’t believe in settling for less than you deserve.
When you’re ready to fight for compensation, Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC is here to get you what you need to recover.

Compensation Is Available to Fairfield Personal Injury Victims
Every personal injury victim has unique needs, even when two people have similar injuries. Our Fairfield personal injury attorneys recognize this, and we make sure we thoroughly review your case and speak to experts who can help us assess the full range of your losses. Here are just some of the potential losses you could recover:
Medical Expenses
Medical bills are often some of the biggest expenses for personal injury victims. Some injuries, despite the best efforts of a medical team, are so severe that victims never make a full recovery. Even less severe injuries can require multiple visits and follow-up appointments, surgeries, and therapy.
Our lawyers can help you seek damages for expenses like:
- Surgery
- Hospital stays
- Office visits
- Medications and assistive devices like wheelchairs
- Physical therapy or other necessary rehabilitative therapies
- Ambulance and ER bills
- Mental health care
We make sure to seek damages for your current medical expenses, as well as the expenses you are expected to have in the coming months or years.
Pain and Suffering, Emotional Anguish, and Other Non-Economic Losses
Many victims may not immediately consider the emotional and mental toll that their injuries can have on their lives. They may not realize these are even damages they can seek.
These damages are considered “non-economic” because they do not have a direct financial value, but they are no less important than your financial losses. You may be able to seek damages for losses such as:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Mental distress (such as anxiety or depression)
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Inconvenience
Loss of Income and Earning Potential
If you were working before your accident and your injuries prevent you from going back to your job, we will help seek compensation for any forms of lost income. We can draw on pay stubs, invoices, and other documents that show proof of income to help determine how much you are owed.
It isn’t fair that someone’s negligence has affected your ability to provide for your household, but it can feel especially hard when your injuries prevent you from ever going back to work. Even if you can perform some of your tasks, you may not be able to do so at the level your once did. You may have to change jobs or work less, and this can hurt your potential income and benefits you may have previously been able to earn.
No matter how your injuries impact your professional future and income, we will seek full and fair compensation on your behalf.
Wrongful Death Damages
If your loved one has passed away from an accident or due to their injuries, please accept our deepest condolences. We understand what a difficult time this is for your family, and we’d like to help in any way we can.
We can help your family pursue wrongful death damages to cover funeral expenses, lost income, lost support, and other damages. We know this money cannot truly make up for your loved one’s death, but we will fight on your loved one’s behalf to hold the other party accountable for this unthinkable loss.
Personal Injury Lawsuits in Fairfield Follow the State Statute of Limitations
Every civil case must follow Connecticut’s statute of limitations. The type of case you have will determine how long you have to take legal action. Most personal injury cases follow the two-year statute of limitations outlined in CT Gen. Stat. § 52-584, but it is best to reach out to our team to determine how long you have to act.
The sooner you can reach out to us about your claim, the better. Your window to file a lawsuit can go by very quickly, so we urge you to call Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC to discuss the possibility of filing a lawsuit.

Yes. Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC takes personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not owe us any money when you sign on with our firm.
Instead, our firm covers all the costs and fees associated with your case. If we are successful in obtaining a settlement or verdict on your behalf, you then pay us a portion of your earnings. This means there is no risk to working with our firm, and no financial barriers to seeking justice.
