Connecticut Automobile Accident Attorneys Press for Full Compensation

Manchester law firm represents injured motorists, passengers and pedestrians

It is an unfortunate reality that you can be involved in an automobile accident no matter how safely you drive. If you are injured in a car crash caused by someone else’s negligence, your best chance of achieving a favorable outcome is having an experienced, competent attorney in your corner. At Fiorentino, Howard & Petrone, P.C., in Manchester, we provide skilled representation to accident victims throughout Eastern and Central Connecticut. Our goal is to achieve full, fair compensation for your injuries so that you can move forward with confidence in the future.

Knowledgeable lawyers explain your rights after an automobile accident

If you have been injured in an automobile accident in Connecticut, the driver at fault is liable for your damages. All drivers are required to have a certain amount of automobile insurance to cover that liability. Therefore, you have three options to recover damages:

You may file a lawsuit in court against the at-fault driver.
You may file a third-party claim against the at-fault driver’s automobile insurance company.
You may file a claim against your own automobile insurance company, which may then seek damages from the at-fault driver’s automobile insurance company.

Connecticut drivers are also required to be covered by uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance, which allows you to recover from your own insurer if the other driver has no insurance or not enough insurance to cover your damages. If you are injured in an accident, our knowledgeable attorneys can advise you of your rights and options.

Skilled advocates fight to win compensation for people injured in crashes

You must bring any lawsuit against the at-fault driver within two years of the accident. If defective road conditions contributed to the accident, you might need to give notice to the responsible government agency as soon as 60 days after the accident. In court, the at-fault driver might allege that the accident was caused, at least in part, by your negligence. Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence standard. That means if the jury finds you to be partially liable, your damages will be reduced by the amount of your liability. For instance, if you are 10 percent liable, your damages will be reduced by 10 percent. But if you are 51 percent or more liable, you will be barred from recovering any damages. If you seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage and other losses, it is essential to have the right counsel represent you. We will give you and your case the close, personal attention you deserve from beginning to end.

Testimonials

I want to thank you very much for the exceptional legal representation you provided for me. Not only was your knowledge of the law impressive but your consideration for me as a person was exceptional. Your counsel successfully brought me through a difficult family situation both legally and personally. I appreciated your honest, thoughtful, straight forward approach. You were very responsive to all of my questions and concerns with excellent advice that resulted in a positive outcome. Sincerely, Joan P.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude for legal services provided by Jim Howard and the law firm of Fiorentino, Howard & Petrone, P.C. The complex civil case we found ourselves tangled in was very stressful and unsettling to say the least. Mr. Howards drive, commitment and dedication to our case was evident from the start which helped ease the stress involved in our dispute. Since then, we have found ourselves in need of legal services for several other issues and each time we were more than confident with the representation we received. You and your firm have created satisfied clients and I would like to endorse your services to anyone looking for representation from a true master of the profession. –Ken S.
I just wanted to drop you a line thanking you and your team for help with my recent accident. The counsel you provided me was fabulous and never worried about outcome. I knew you would pull through for me. Thanks again.-Mike C.
Just a quick note to thank you for the years of exceptional legal services that you provided for both of our individual companies. When we needed valuable legal advice, both professional and personal we knew that we could depend on your discretion in all matters. Again, thank you and your firm for your professional services. Bill and Jeanne R.
Now that our legal matters are behind us we wish to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to you and your firm for a job well done! When you believe you are right but get caught-up in a legal quagmire the hardest thing is finding a lawyer/firm that listens to you and then proceeds to represent you in a fair and honest manner. I have learned that when you want the best you ask other successful professionals who they would go to if they were in my position. The common denominator that I saw immediately was quite obvious. Your name appeared on all three lists that I received from my respected professional friends. Just like when looking for a great medical specialist - I ask my Dr. "who would you go to?" We could not have received better representation. Many thanks. Craig H.
We want to thank you for all of the help you have given us throughout the past few years. Doing business from California could have been very difficult, but you helped to make it easy. You always responded quickly and took care of any problems that arose. This was a tremendous help for us and we are sincerely appreciative. Dennis and Carol B.
