Suisman Shapiro Attorneys-at-Law, Aggressive Advocates on Behalf of Our Clients
At Suisman Shapiro Attorneys-at-Law, our personal injury lawyers understand that every personal injury claim is different. We have local knowledge of the courts in the Middlesex Judicial District and Chester insurers. Our experienced team can aggressively investigate and prepare a strong case on your behalf.
Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or avoid liability entirely. We can fight to prevent them from shortchanging you during your time of recovery. If a fair settlement can’t be reached, we can then take your case to trial.
Damages you may be entitled to recover include:
- Lost wages
- Medical bills
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Future care needs
- Punitive damages (in rare cases)
Understanding Personal Injury Law
Having a strong understanding of Connecticut’s personal injury law can be crucial for your case. A personal injury claim can arise when someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act causes you physical or emotional harm.
Some common types of claims include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Pedestrian and bicycle collisions
- Premises liability, such as a slip and fall
- Defective products and other types of product liability
- Medical malpractice and nursing home neglect
Connecticut reported over 100,000 motor vehicle accidents in 2024. There were also 1,655 pedestrian and bicycle collisions during that time.
Personal injury laws set out how liability is determined and how damages are calculated. In many cases, you must work quickly to preserve evidence and meet filing deadlines.
A Chester personal injury attorney can advise you about comparative fault rules and what deadlines apply. We can map out a strategy tailored toward success and explain each step in the legal process.
We Charge No Attorney Fees Unless We Win
We believe everyone injured in Chester should have access to legal representation. That’s why Suisman Shapiro Attorneys-at-Law handles most personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means there are no attorney fees unless we recover money through a settlement.
If we don’t win, you pay nothing for our legal services. However, there may still be some out-of-pocket expenses during the process, such as expert testimony or court filing fees.
Finding the Responsible Parties
A successful personal injury claim requires identifying the responsible parties. Responsibility for a car accident could rest with other drivers, employers, or even vehicle manufacturers. For premises liability cases, it could be property owners, managers, or contractors.
Suisman Shapiro Attorneys-at-Law can analyze police reports, medical records, and accident scene photos. We can also identify witnesses and take statements. Working with accident reconstructionists helps us get a clearer picture of the at-fault party.
