Why Should I Hire a Lawyer for My Milford Injury Case?

No matter how simple your case may seem, it can quickly become complicated to deal with insurance companies, determine liability, and estimate damages. You might have injuries that make it hard to manage day-to-day tasks, let alone figure out the complexities of tort law.

Retaining legal representation from our firm means getting an advocate who is fully dedicated to fighting for full and fair compensation on your behalf. We have the knowledge, determination, and experience to handle whatever the other party throws our way, and you get to focus on what matters the most. Here are some of the tasks our lawyers can complete for you:

Collecting Evidence to Support Your Milford Personal Injury Claim

Evidence is crucial to building our argument for compensation. Our team must show proof of damages and negligent actions, and we can do this through evidence like:

  • Official accident reports from the Milford Police Department or the Connecticut State Police
  • Medical records that detail your treatment plans, injuries, and prognosis
  • Medical bills and invoices that detail the various medical expenses you currently have or are expected to have in the future
  • Eyewitness accounts and testimonies
  • Reports from experts who can weigh in on your injuries or the circumstances surrounding your accident
  • Photographs and videos from dashboard cameras, witnesses, cameras from local businesses or homes, or police reports

These and other forms of proof strengthen our case, and we will handle gathering this information so you don’t have to.

Completing Any Necessary Steps and Procedures for Filing Insurance Claims of Civil Lawsuits

After suffering an injury caused by someone else’s negligence, it may be hard to figure out what your next steps are. There are a lot of tasks to handle and keep track of, and you can easily miss some crucial actions and deadlines.

Our personal injury attorneys will make sure insurance companies have everything they need for their records to protect your ability to file a claim. If your case needs to go to court, we’ll ensure your civil lawsuit meets court requirements and is not delayed by errors.

Speaking to Insurance Representatives and the Other Party’s Legal Team

When you claim that someone else’s actions were the cause of your harm, the other party will do its best to minimize the payout owed to you and dispute your claims of negligence. They may try to call and get details about the case from you and try to get you to make an error or confuse certain details to undermine your case.

When we represent your personal injury case, we will not allow this to happen. We will take over any communications to avoid these issues and prevent you from suffering unnecessary stress.

Assessing All of Your Injuries and Losses

A personal injury case often involves a wide array of losses, and it can be difficult to grasp the full scope of your damages. While some financial losses might seem easy to calculate, you might have some future losses that are more complicated to estimate. Some losses are intangible, but no less important to pursue.

Whatever the extent of your losses may be, our Milford injury lawyers will make sure every damage is accounted for. We draw on our experience and resources to make sure we pursue the full financial value of all these damages.

Negotiating a Personal Injury Settlement for Your Milford Case

Many injury cases are settled before even going to court. We can speak with the other party’s representatives to discuss a settlement offer that addresses your concerns that they will agree to. We will not settle for less than you deserve, and we will advise you on the fairness of any offers made by the other party.

Insurers may know that they won’t stand a chance in court, and they are prepared to make a bargain. However, some insurers may be unwilling to negotiate a fair offer, and they may want to try their luck in court.

Fighting for Damages at a Trial

Our lawyers are prepared to take your case to court if this step becomes necessary. Our team is relentless, and we will represent your case for damages and fight for the maximum compensation possible. Our trial team is more than ready to take on this fight, all you have to do is call Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC today to get started.

Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC Represents Many Types of Personal Injury Clients

Personal injury cases are cases involving a person or entity’s negligence. Sometimes, one or more parties can be liable for your harm, depending on the case and the circumstances of your accident. Some of the cases we handle include:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

According to data from the University of Connecticut’s Connecticut Crash Data Repository, there were almost 1,458 total crashes in Milford in 2023. Busy roads like Boston Post Road, Bridgeport Road, and New Haven Avenue, and major highways like I-95 and Wilbur Cross Parkway mean that motorists of all vehicle types are at risk of major accidents every day. Our accident attorneys help with:

  • Car accidents
  • Commercial truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents involving negligent drivers
  • Train accidents involving vehicle drivers

Accidents involving vehicles present unique and challenging circumstances for many victims. For example, accidents with commercial vehicles can involve complex state and federal regulations, and determining liability is often complex due to the multiple parties involved. Some accidents, like pedestrian accidents, can be catastrophic for victims, and even fatal. Our auto accident attorneys are ready to help you fight for damages in these and other motor vehicle cases.

Slip and Falls

Slip and fall accidents can leave victims with painful injuries and costly losses. Determining which parties are liable for your harm can be challenging, depending on who is responsible for the property. Our Milford slip and fall lawyers must also be able to determine if the hazard that caused your fall was a hazard the liable party could have prevented.

Some causes of slip and fall accidents in Milford include:

  • Icy pavement
  • Cracked or uneven sidewalks and potholes
  • Leaks and spills
  • Poor lighting
  • Loose or broken staircase railings
  • Torn carpeting and loose tiles
  • Debris and hazards on walkways

We can help you seek damages if the incident occurred in someone’s home, on public property, or in commercial businesses.

Dog Bites

When a dog bites someone in Milford, the owner is liable for any harm the dog caused. However, these cases are often quite nuanced, and it’s best to have a dog bite lawyer on your side to navigate the laws.

Mass Tort and Class Actions

Mass tort cases and class action lawsuits seek to help multiple victims seek damages caused by faulty or dangerous products or large-scale events of negligence. Dangerous drugs are one common example of these types of cases. If you think you have a mass tort or class action, our lawyers can help you join others in seeking fair compensation.

Train Accidents

Accidents with trains can be sudden and devastating for Milford residents. If you or a loved one were harmed by a train as a driver, pedestrian, or in another scenario, we can help you hold the responsible parties accountable for your harm.

Product Liability

Our product liability lawyers help victims hurt by dangerous and defective products. These products may have been poorly designed, manufactured, or marketed, and these issues caused you physical harm, mental anguish, and financial losses. Whether the products are medical devices, car parts, baby items, or other products, our Milford team will hold all parties responsible for your harm.

Medical Malpractice

No one expects to seek medical care and leave worse than they went in, but medical malpractice by providers can cause immense harm to patients. When a doctor or other medical provider acts negligently and injures you, our medical malpractice lawyers are ready to help you seek compensation that helps you with all of your losses.

Wrongful Death and Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are life-changing, and it isn’t fair when a person or entity’s actions leave you with such serious injuries. Your life may never be the same after suffering injuries like paralysis, amputated limbs, or severe burns.

Unfortunately, many of these accidents and injuries can be fatal, leaving families grieving for their loved ones. If you lost a loved one due to someone’s negligence, we can represent your wrongful death claim and help you fight for damages on behalf of a deceased family member.

No matter what accident or injury you have suffered, the Milford personal injury lawyers at Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC are here to fight for you and get you the compensation you need and deserve.

Damages We Can Pursue in a Milford Personal Case

After an accident, you likely have a lot of damages, including damages you don’t know how to calculate or predict. As your personal injury attorneys, our team will make sure every loss is counted for when seeking a settlement or verdict. Some of the damages we can pursue on your behalf include:

  • Loss of companionship
  • Emotional anguish
  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost earning potential
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Travel expenses

Each case is different, and you may not have a damage listed above. Our team can review your case and discuss your losses with you to get a full picture of the harm you’ve suffered.

Please keep in mind that Connecticut has a statute of limitations for all personal injury victims seeking to file a lawsuit. Most cases are subject to a two-year statute of limitations per CT Gen. Stat. § 52-584. Our lawyers can advise you on how long you have left to file, depending on your case.
