Follow These Steps After Getting Hurt in Hartford, CT

Here’s what you need to do right after an injury to make sure you get compensated fairly:

Some injuries can get worse if you don’t treat them, and others may not immediately show symptoms. Let medical professionals examine you. This will create an official record of your injuries.

Make sure your accident is officially reported. Depending on the injury’s nature, inform your supervisor if it’s an injury that occurred at a workplace or call the police to report a car collision.

If you slipped, take a picture of the slippery surface with no “wet floor” sign, or if it was a crash, get pictures of all the vehicles involved.

The sooner your personal injury lawyer starts working on your case, the better they can protect your rights. They will gather evidence beforehand, communicate with witnesses, and ensure you don’t miss critical deadlines.

Your statements can impact your case, and not in a good way. Only share facts when talking to police, healthcare workers, and insurance representatives.

You may want to accept the initial offer from an insurance company, but they’re usually quite low. Let your attorney assess all the damages, including potential ones.

G.W, Personal Injury Client
5.0

Michael represented me against a very aggressive collections firm. From the moment we had our first meeting, I was very confident in their abilities and plan of action. After a very stressful 18 months of attempting to handle the collector on my own, they let me relax as they did all the hard work and negotiating. Michael is reliable and honest, and they got me one of the best possible outcomes for my situation. I would not hesitate to hire them again, if the need arises.

J.C.

They won my case and boy was I ever glad I chose Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers to represent me. Thank you!

Time Limits

Critical Time Limits for Filing Your Personal Injury Claim

Connecticut law has strict deadlines for taking legal action. These time limits are called the statute of limitations. If you miss them, you could lose your right to get any money for your injury.

For most cases in Hartford, you have two years from when you got hurt to file a personal injury lawsuit. Even though two years sounds like a lot of time, building a solid case takes time, and evidence can vanish. That’s why it’s so important to contact a Hartford personal injury lawyer today.

Personal Injury Cases We Represent

Here are the most common types of cases we work with, and each one needs a different way to investigate.

Modern cars can be extremely safe, but they can’t prevent every injury. Whiplash can hit car drivers or passengers even at low speeds, and neck pain may last for months. Worse accidents can lead to broken bones, head injuries, or other issues that affect movement and daily life.

Many of these accidents happen due to someone else’s negligence, like multitasking while driving, speeding, or just ignoring a red light. Our team has helped many people who suddenly got hurt in a vehicle collision, are unable to work, and are stressing about their bills and future earnings.
Car Accidents

Riding a motorcycle is exciting, but it comes with its own set of dangers. Even the best riders, perfectly equipped, aren’t always safe when someone suddenly swerves into their lane or cuts them off. And even a little bump can lead to big problems.

We fight back against insurance companies that try to shift blame onto motorcyclists. Recently, we managed to reach a settlement of $1,200,000 in a motorcycle collision. So, you don’t have to give up your rights to safety and fair treatment after being injured.
Motorcycle Accidents

In truck accidents, you’re dealing with more than another driver. There are also trucking companies, maintenance crews, cargo loaders, and multiple insurance companies. Each one might be at fault, whether because of poor vehicle maintenance or pressuring drivers to keep driving too long or meet touch delivery deadlines.

That’s why it’s so critical to get help from a Hartford personal injury attorney quickly. Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers are experts at getting to the bottom of things and making sure everyone takes responsibility.
Truck Accidents

Rideshare drivers are just regular people who use their personal vehicles as part-time taxis. They could be excellent drivers, but once they try to get more rides or find their way in unfamiliar areas, they might make bad choices that result in negative consequences on the road. Our team understands the specifics of these cases and knows how to achieve the maximum financial compensation possible for our personal injury clients.
Rideshare Accidents

After getting a serious injury at a workplace, you might be anxious about keeping your job while you recover, paying your bills when you can’t work, or whether you’ll ever be able to do your job the same way again.

Some workers hold back from speaking up about their injuries, worried they’ll be seen as troublemakers or get fired. You have the right to a safe workplace and to get financial support for on-the-job injuries. We’ve assisted people from different jobs. Let us take care of all the mundane paperwork, deadlines, and negotiations for you.
Workers Compensation

Such accidents can happen in places where you expect to feel safe, like grocery stores, restaurants, office buildings, or apartment complexes. Property owners might say they had no idea there was a danger.

But they still have a legal duty to keep their places safe for guests. We’ve heard their excuse and will masterfully show when someone’s carelessness led to your fall.
Slip and Fall Accidents

Sometimes, a neighbor’s dog can suddenly bite, leaving behind both physical pain and emotional trauma. Not to mention medical malpractice that may result in devastating injuries. These situations shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

Our legal team has expertise in most personal injury claims, and we’re ready to fight for your rights, no matter how the injury happened.
Any Other Type of Personal Injuries

30-Day, Risk-Free Guarantee

In the event that you are dissatisfied within the first 30 days, you may have your file returned to you by the firm, free of charge.

Personal Injury Claim

What Will Your Personal Injury Claim Actually Cover?

If someone else’s actions have hurt you, know that your losses aren’t just about your medical bills. You have the right to seek compensation for all kinds of damages in a personal injury claim in Connecticut. Here are the main damages you might be able to recover:

contact us now

This includes everything from trips to the emergency room to long-term rehabilitation. Your Hartford personal injury lawyer can help you recover all your healthcare costs — surgeries, medications, physical therapy, medical devices, and even any future medical treatment.

You can recover not just the money you’ve already lost but also whatever you would’ve earned in the future if you hadn’t been hurt.

You can also recover costs for any property that got damaged. In car accidents, this can be fixing or replacing your vehicle. In other situations, it could be laptops, clothes, or other personal belongings.

Physical and emotional pain aren’t minor details. Whether it’s the immediate pain from your injury or post-traumatic stress disorder, we can put a number on these non-economic damages.

If your injury doesn’t allow you to enjoy things you love to do, like hobbies or family time, you should be compensated for that, too.

FAQ

How Much Will a Hartford Personal Injury Lawyer Cost You?

Typically, personal injury lawyers in Hartford charge based on their experience. If you opt for experienced attorneys, like Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers, who handle challenging injury cases, you might pay more. But these professionals often secure much better settlements, which can mean more money for you even after their fees.

Can You Handle Your Injury Case Alone?

Sure, you can file a personal injury claim by yourself. However, insurance companies will offer you the lowest payout possible. Plus, if you proceed without a personal injury lawyer, you might miss deadlines, settle for way less, or say something that ruins your claim.

When Can You Expect Your Case to Settle?

The time it takes to settle a personal injury claim can depend on the details of your case. Simple cases might settle in a few months, but more complicated ones, like a brain injury claim, can continue for over a year. However, an experienced Hartford personal injury attorney may achieve faster results for you.
