When a person is injured, has an car accident, or slips and falls in CT one of the first questions to be answered is who is at fault. Lawyers will typically have to determine who was the “negligent” or at fault party. This person is also referred to as the tortfeasor. So to determine fault we will first have to answer several questions for the client which could include:

If you have been injured in some type of accident, been attacked by an animal, received some type of personal injury or been the victim of medical malpractice in CT then one of your first questions will be what money are you entitled to recover from the person or persons who caused your injuries. So within the first two minutes of a telephone call or new client interview we will be asked: What compensation might I receive if my personal injury claim is successful?

When involved in an accident, people often think that they can handle their claim with the insurance company on their own. If insurance companies were in the business of reasonableness and playing fair, that could be possible. The simple fact of the matter, however, is that insurance companies are in the business of making money. The insurance company will not actually fix your car, nor will they heal your injuries, all they do is handle the money. The insurance companies do not make any money when you receive health care or car repairs….they are the ones paying for it!
