Filing Within the Statute of Limitations
The state of Connecticut places a time limit on personal injury claims, but the statute of limitations differs depending on the details of your case. Generally, personal injury victims have two years to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. However, claims involving nursing home abuse, product liability, medical malpractice, and dog bites all have different statutes of limitations and statutes of repose.
Our Glastonbury personal injury attorneys can help you understand which statutes may apply to your claim and help you file timely. You can avoid missing critical deadlines by contacting an attorney as soon as possible after your injury occurs.
Even if you are still receiving treatment for your personal injury, our legal team can begin gathering documentation, taking witness statements, and building a strong case, so your lawsuit is filed within the appropriate time frame.
We Handle a Wide Range of Personal Injury Cases in Glastonbury, CT
Our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience managing legal claims for everything from car accidents to product defects and medical malpractice. No matter what kind of negligence led to your injuries, you can rely on Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC to get results. Types of personal injury claims we manage in Glastonbury include:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents, bicycle crashes, car collisions, pedestrian accidents, and commercial truck crashes can all lead to serious, life-altering injuries. Our personal injury team can gather evidence, compile medical records, interview witnesses, and identify the at-fault parties in order to file a claim with the appropriate insurer.

Product Liability Claims
Consumer products include everything from medical devices and motor vehicles to medication, cosmetics, and children’s toys. Our product liability attorneys are well-versed in consumer protection laws and legal requirements for products on the market. We have sought settlements from product manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and other giant corporations who placed profits over consumer safety.
Our legal team handles a variety of mass torts claims, which are large-scale lawsuits against companies for widespread personal injury due to product defects. We have the knowledge and experience to help you navigate complex product liability procedures and recover the compensation you deserve.
Premises Liability Cases
When you are injured on someone else’s property, they may be liable for the resulting medical bills and other associated losses. Property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of people legally on the premises. When they violate their duty, people can sustain severe injuries.
Whether you slipped on a puddle or were bitten by a dog, you should not have to pay for injuries caused by a property owner’s carelessness or negligence. A premises liability lawyer with Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC can investigate the cause of your injury and help you hold a negligent owner accountable.
Medical Malpractice
Healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses, and medical staff must meet certain standards for care consistent with their fields. A medical provider who fails to diagnose and treat patients within the standard of care for their profession can be responsible for any injury or illness that arises as a result.
Examples of medical malpractice claims include drug errors, medical misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and surgical errors. Our medical malpractice lawyers can help you pursue compensation from a negligent doctor or other medical professional.
Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence
Those living in nursing homes are entitled to compassionate care and treatment consistent with industry regulations and standards. Unfortunately, short staffing and limited budgets have led to widespread abuse and negligence on the part of care providers in these operations.
Our nursing home abuse attorneys are committed to getting justice on behalf of vulnerable people who cannot defend themselves. We will not hesitate to go up against facilities that fail to appropriately monitor and manage patient care. Contact us today if you or someone you love experienced neglect or abuse in a nursing home or assisted living facility.
Work Accident Injuries
if you were injured on the job, whether you were at the worksite or performing work-related duties offsite, you could have grounds to seek workers’ compensation benefits. U.S. laws generally permit injured employees from suing their employers for work-related injuries. However, you may be able to file a third-party personal injury lawsuit if you or your employer is exempt from workers’ compensation requirements, if you are not an employee of the company, or if your injuries were caused by a third party.
We Seek Fair Compensation for Your Glastonbury Personal Injury
Personal injury claims cover an extensive range of injury types and causes. Every case has unique conditions and circumstances that can affect the outcome. While each personal injury is unique, the types of damages you can recover typically fall under the following categories:
Medical Expenses
Your injuries may require medical treatment, including emergency care, ambulance transport, surgery, hospital stays, and physical therapy. You can pursue compensation for any medical expenses that arise because of an injury caused by someone’s negligence.
Medical costs include more than medical diagnostics and procedures. You can also recover transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, medication to treat pain and discomfort, and assistive equipment like a cane or crutches.
For injuries that require long-term medical care, medical devices, or accommodations, you may be able to recover additional compensation for these expenses. Our legal team listens to your story and works to understand all the current and future healthcare costs you may incur due to your personal injury.
Lost Income
Some injury accidents only result in a few hours of lost work, but many require significant time away from your job. If you lost income because of your personal injury, you can include it in your claim. Income loss includes but is not limited to wages, salary income, benefits, commissions, and bonuses you would have earned had you not missed work.
If your injury causes temporary or permanent disability or impairment, you could recover compensation for diminished income capacity. To help you determine the full scope of lost income, we may hire an economic expert to provide testimony in support of additional compensation.
Property Damage
Many personal injury accidents cause damage to personal property. The most common type of personal injury property damage is to vehicles in a car accident but may also include personal belongings like motorcycle or bike gear and cell phones. Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC keeps a property damage expert on staff to assess property damage and ensure you receive fair value for property repair and replacement.
Non-Economic Damages
You have a right to recover compensation for the subjective losses you suffered because of someone else’s negligence. Pain and suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment are all non-economic losses for which you can be compensated.
