After an Accident: What You Should Know

After an accident, you may be uncertain as to how to protect your rights and obtain compensation for the losses you have suffered. The most effective way to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve is to speak with a Clinton personal injury attorney as soon as you can. Our lawyers will review your case for free and let you know whether you have a legal claim that you can pursue.

Clinton Car Accidents

Car accidents are one of the most common ways that people who live generally low-risk lives end up with serious injuries. In order to be able to recover for your losses after a car accident under Connecticut law, you need to be able to show that your accident was caused by the negligence of another person. There are many ways that car accidents can be caused by negligence, including the following:

  • Speeding
  • Distracted driving
  • Following too closely
  • Failure to yield
  • Driving while impaired
  • Failing to observe stop signs
  • Improper vehicle maintenance
  • Ignoring poor weather conditions
  • Aggressive driving
  • Fatigued driving

Even if you do not think that your accident was caused by negligence, you should have an attorney review the facts of your case, as negligence can be hard to spot for a person not familiar with personal injury law. By failing to have a Clinton attorney analyze your case to determine whether you have a personal injury claim, you could be forfeiting the right to recover compensation for losses like medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and physical and emotional pain and suffering, among others.
