Unfortunately, many young children in Connecticut are exposed to lead based paint. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that at least 4 million households have children living in them that are being exposed to lead. There are approximately 500,000 children, ages one through five, in the US with blood levels above five 5 mcg/dL, the reference level at which the CDC recommends public health action be taken. Lead paint exposure often occurs with little or no obvious symptoms and it frequently goes unrecognized for some period of time which is why it is important to get frequent regular screenings for your child if you live or have lived in a property built prior to 1978. If your child has elevated lead levels than you should contact a Connecticut personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to determine your rights as it relates to your child’s lead paint poisoning case.

The Bridgeport, CT train accident has injured a significant number of people that have been treated at area hospitals. We were contacted this week by at least one individual that was on the train heading from Grand Central terminal to New Haven and another individual who was on the train coming from New Haven headed to Grand Central terminal. There appears to be a lot of conflicting information about exactly what happened at this juncture.The individual who was on the New Haven train headed to Grand Central terminal indicated that the other train had already derailed and that people were getting off of that train while her train was still in motion. She indicated that the conductor of her train was evidently unable to stop in time and at which point her train crashed into the other train. The individual who was on the Grand Central to New Haven train indicated that she felt a very violent initial impact, which was then followed by a subsequent impact. There are conflicting reports as to exactly what happened in this CT Train Accident and we are still in the early investigative stages of this CT Train accident case. We would appreciate hearing from any witnesses or passengers who were involved in the CT train accident so we can get a better idea as to what happened.

Another Reason Why You Should Contact a Connecticut Accident Attorney After You Have Been Injured

Posted by HCW Law | Nov 22, 2025 | 0 Comments

I just read on one of the self-help legal websites a request from a 19-year-old, who was representing himself in a serious car accident case. He was asking personal injury attorneys what he should do because the insurance company offered him $12,000 for his case and he did not think that was enough money. Unfortunately, this young man has greatly compromised his claim and has made it much more difficult for an experienced personal injury lawyer to jump in after he has handled this case up until this point on his own. The part I found most interesting was that he was sophisticated enough to know that $12,000 for his case was not enough to properly compensate him for his injuries, but the other side of that coin is that he had no idea what his case was worth.
