If you have been injured through the fault of another in any type of Connecticut car accident, motorcycle crash, a slip and fall, dog bite injury, or through doctor or hospital malpractice there are a number of issues that you need to concern yourself about as you treat for your injury or condition. One of these issues involve the insurance company of the at fault party. In evaluating and determining your case value an insurance company will look at your medical records to see about your medical care and treatment and how the injury has affected you.  Therefore, in an effort to increase your case value, it is important that you keep in mind the following fact.

Even though medical error reporting is mandated, oftentimes such incidents go unreported.

If you drink alcohol and then drive your motor vehicle in CT you run the very real risk of causing a drunk driving accident, wherein you could seriously injure or kill someone, or could get yourself arrested for a DUI. The consequences of your actions and this decision can have devastating consequences. The drunk driving laws of the State of Connecticut and the case law determined by the U.S. Supreme Court make it easy for a police officer to pull you over based upon a “reasonable articulable suspicion” that you are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

What happens if you are attacked by a dog, in CT, and are severely injured? What do you have to prove to establish that the owner or keeper of the dog is liable? What effect does the fact that the dog has never bitten anyone before have to do with fault? Connecticut has specific statutory provisions that make a person or entity strictly liable for a person’s injury. It is therefore not necessary to show that a person was negligent in order to be entitled to collect money damages. For example, certain states recognize some or all of the following strict liability torts: parents being held strictly liable for an act of their child; worker’s compensation making an employer liable for an employee’s injuries; owners of pets that bite people being held strictly liable for the pet’s actions; and certain cases involving toxic torts.

As the New Year approaches and we begin to think about changes we are going to make in our lives, one of those might be your motor vehicle insurance coverage. Unfortunately, this year I represented several people who were involved in serious accidents, caused by the fault of another, who had minimum limits of liability which were insufficient to pay for their damages.

If you have a Connecticut injury or accident case or you have been the victim of medical malpractice, where you have reached maximum medical improvement, one of the options which you could discuss with your attorney is to engage in non-binding mediation.
