Personal injury laws protect individuals who have been harmed by either reckless or careless actions. For your personal injury case to succeed, proving the other party’s negligence is imperative. This could involve a driver texting behind the wheel or a property owner ignoring a tripping hazard.
Some common examples of personal injury cases include:
To get a better idea of the numbers, in 2024, Connecticut reported over 100,000 motor vehicle accidents, along with over 1,600 collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists.
Our attorneys have extensive experience in navigating Connecticut’s personal injury laws. These laws can be complex. An Essex personal injury attorney from our firm can handle all the legal details so you can focus on recovery.
Identifying the responsible party is one of the most important aspects of a successful case. However, the at-fault party isn’t always obvious. At Suisman Shapiro Attorneys-at-Law, we conduct a thorough investigation using expert witnesses, accident reconstructionists, and medical professionals to determine who’s at fault.
Once we identify the responsible party, we can push for compensation to cover all your damages. These can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
Some accidents lead to a loss of life. In 2023, over 222,000 accidental injuries resulted in someone’s death in the United States.
The surviving family legally has the right to file a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death claim can hold negligent parties accountable for the loss of your loved one. It can also provide financial support for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.
The Essex personal injury lawyers of Suisman Shapiro Attorneys-at-Law know that no amount of money could make up for losing a loved one. That’s why we handle the case with extreme care and dedication.
Before agreeing to a settlement amount that’s less than what you deserve, contact Suisman Shapiro Attorneys-at-Law to schedule a consultation.

I'm an attorney myself, but when I needed legal services, I reached out to attorney Jillian Miller. I couldn't be more pleased with the representation I received from Attorney Miller and the whole Suisman Shapiro team. I'm very happy with the outcome, and more importantly, I felt respected and heard through the whole process.
Highly recommend Attorney Jillian Miller! She was extremely professional in her guidance through my custody agreement. Her experience really shined while I tried to navigate an already stressful situation.
Attorney Blanchard helped my daughter get back her 50/50 custody in a much quicker time frame than anyone thought. He was great to work with. My daughter was very comfortable with the path he was taking. He is a very well respected attorney and it showed each time we conferenced at the courthouse.
