BRIDGEPORT CT TRAIN ACCIDENT INJURES MANY AND WILL CLOSE COMMUTER TRAIN TRAFFIC IN BRIDGEPORT PENDING AN INVESTIGATION

Bridgeport, Norwalk, Danbury, Ridgefield, Stamford, Connecticut

May 18, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Bridgeport, Connecticut – A Metro North commuter railway train derailed Friday, and slammed into another train headed in the opposite direction, injuring 60 people. CT’s Governor, Dannel Malloy,announced at a news conference that five people were critically injured and one was very critically injured. Those injured in the Bridgeport CT train accident were taken to Bridgeport Hospital and St. Vincent’s Medical Center, both located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Gov. Malloy indicated that there was no reason to believe that this was anything other than an accident which has severely damaged the tracks and is likely to affect railway traffic between New York and Boston for an indefinite period of time.

Metro-North officials indicated that the train left Grand Central terminal at 5:30 PM and was due in New Haven at 7:18 PM when it derailed in Bridgeport at the Fairfield, Connecticut line. The eastbound train derailed which caused it to collide with the westbound train on an adjacent track. The westbound train left New Haven at 4:41 PM and was due in Grand Central Terminal at 7:18 PM. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the Metro North lines, is the second-largest commuter railroad in the nation. The Hudson, Harlem and New Haven lines run northward from New York City’s Grand Central Terminal into a number of communities located in New York and Connecticut. A full investigation of this Bridgeport CT train accident is underway which is being headed by the National Transportation Safety Board, which hopefully will conclude the on-site inspection by Monday.

If you have been seriously injured in some type of car, motorcycle, truck, dog bite attack, slip and fall accident, premises liability case, medical malpractice action, pedestrian accident, hit-and-run accident, bicycle accident, or some other type of Connecticut accident resulting in injury, there are a great number of issues that you need to discuss with an experienced CT accident lawyer as soon as possible. If you do not have your case properly investigated, at the earliest possible moment, then you run the very real risk that you can severely jeopardize your case because of mistakes that you might make that may be irreversible.

We have all heard the expression “honesty is the best policy,” and nowhere is this saying more important than in your dealings with your CT Accident Lawyer. Insurance companies and defense attorneys have databases of information regarding your past medical care, medical history, accidents that you have been involved in, motor vehicle violations that you have been charged with, insurance claims that you have filed, lawsuits that you have been involved with, your criminal history, and just about any other information which you could possibly think of. If you lie to your attorney, because you think that if this information became known it would hurt your case, then you will be seriously harming the potential value of your case because once this information becomes known by the insurance company’s lawyer, then your credibility will be seriously undermined. So make sure you keep any and all lies from your Connecticut accident lawyer.

When you go in to see a CT accident lawyer or personal injury attorney it is extremely important that you be honest with that lawyer from the very start. If you have been involved in previous accidents, let your attorney know that fact. If you have pre-existing injuries that affect the same body parts that have been injured in this current accident, let your attorney know that fact. If you have prior insurance claims, if you have a criminal record, if you have received a number of motor vehicle violations, and if there is any other information which you feel would be in your best interest to keep private and or lie about then you must be honest with your attorney and give that information to your lawyer.

In some Connecticut drunk driving accident cases, the drunk driver leaves the scene of the accident and, in certain instances, cannot be located. There are many different ways that we can investigate recovering money damages for you after being in a Connecticut drunk driving accident. The first place that we can turn to, quite naturally, is to the insurance company of the drunk driver that caused your accident. If there is  no insurance or not enough insurance to properly compensate you for your case, then we can investigate other potential sources of payment for you. For example, we may be able to assert a claim against the bar, liquor store, restaurant or nightclub that served the drunk driver alcohol. We may be able to pursue either an underinsured motorist claim or an uninsured motorist claim. We have decades of experience in representing Connecticut injury victims and their families and we have written the book on Connecticut personal injury law.

INJURED BY A CT DRUNK DRIVER AND WANT ANSWERS – GET OUR FREE INJURY BOOK TODAY!‏

Bridgeport, Norwalk, Danbury, Ridgefield, Stamford, Connecticut

April 1, 2013 by Leave a Comment

If you have been seriously injured by a CT drunk driver and the driver of the vehicle has no insurance. Are there other sources where you can turn to for money damages? There could very well be a number of other sources that you could look to in an effort to obtain money damages for your serious injuries. One of the ways that you might be able to collect money damages would be through any and all applicable under-insured or uninsured motorist policies that would cover you at the time of your accident. This is a complicated area of the law and you need to consult with an experienced CT drunk driving lawyer or injury attorney at the earliest possible moment.

There could be other potential ways to collect money damages and one such way might be through Connecticut’s Dram Shop Act Statute. Connecticut’s dram shop act states in relevant part that: if any person, or such person’s agent, sells any alcoholic liquor to an intoxicated person, and such purchaser, in consequence of such intoxication, thereafter injures the person or property of another, such seller shall pay just damages to the injured person. There are a number of other requirements in the statute that set forth restrictions and/or limitations on how you can collect money damages in such a situation. It is very important that you contact an experienced Connecticut accident attorney or injury lawyer that is familiar with handling cases under Connecticut’s dram shop act.

Connecticut jury instructions section 3.17 sets forth the law as it relates to the dram shop act. That instruction provides as follows, to establish that the defendant violated the statute, the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that: the defendant or its agents sold alcoholic liquor to the person who caused the plaintiff’s injuries; that the person that caused the plaintiff’s injuries was intoxicated at the time of the sale; and in consequence of that intoxication the person that caused the plaintiff’s injuries did so pursuant to the statute.

If you have been seriously injured by a CT drunk driver in any town or city in Connecticut you need to contact an experienced accident attorney or injury lawyer who is familiar with both CT drunk driving accidents and the dram shop act. There are time limitations under which notice must be filed with the offending party. There may be matters which need to be investigated immediately. The longer you wait the greater the likelihood is that you will prejudice your CT drunk driving case and either greatly reduce the value of your injury claim or completely destroy your claim because you are outside of one of the notice provision requirements.

Our Connecticut injury attorneys and accident lawyers have been representing injured parties and their families for decades. Our nationally recognized attorneys have received a number of very prestigious awards as a result of their experience in handling cases for others. In an effort to educate consumers and injured parties about what they should and should not be doing, we have written the book “The Crash Course on Personal Injury Claims in Connecticut.” This e-book is available as a free download on our website which is located at www.HCWLAW.com. This book provides you with very valuable information that you must read before you make a mistake and severely undermining the value of your case.

HOW TO GET MORE MONEY FOR YOUR LOW IMPACT NAUGATUCK CT CAR ACCIDENT CASE‏

Bridgeport, Norwalk, Danbury, Ridgefield, Stamford, Connecticut

March 18, 2013 by Leave a Comment

If you have been involved in a low impact Naugatuck CT car accident, one of the things that the insurance company of the at fault party will try and do is pay you less money because of the fact that it is a low impact crash. One of the major factors insurance companies look at in these cases is the amount of property damage caused by the accident because they will allege that the less damage there is to the motor vehicles than the less injured the plaintiff will be. The insurance company has even named these cases DOLF which stands for defense of litigated files or MIST, minor impact soft tissue cases. These cases typically involve low impact accidents with minor property damage as a result of which the injured party claims whiplash type injuries to the neck and back.

One recent study has shown that the less damage there is to a car, the higher the acceleration of the impacted vehicle and the greater the risk of injury to the spine. This happens because a motor vehicle that compresses or collapses in a collision absorbs more of the force of the impact then one that is damaged. This is due to the high tech design that goes into many of the newer cars these days. These cars are able to absorb a lot of the impact of the crash without showing extensive property damage.

So what can you do to improve the value of your Naugatuck, CT car accident or injury case if you are involved in a low impact collision? One definition insurance companies use to determine if an impact was minor is whether or not there is less than a certain dollar amount of damage to the motor vehicle. Since property damage estimates can vary greatly, you should take your damaged vehicle to the dealership for the make of the motor vehicle. Generally speaking, dealerships will charge more to repair your damaged vehicle then will your local body shop. You should also insist that new parts, and not used parts or reconditioned parts, be used to repair your vehicle. If the estimate to repair your vehicle is higher, then you stand a better chance of defeating the DOLF or MIST strategy used by many insurance adjusters.

The above example is just one of many ways that the insurance company will look to pay you the least amount of money possible for your case. It is extremely important that you contact an experienced Connecticut accident attorney or injury lawyer. We have decades of experience in representing injured parties and their families. Visit our website at www.HCWLAW.com and download a free copy of our almost 200 page book “The Crash Course on Personal Injury Claims in Connecticut.” You can call our toll-free number at 888-842-8466 and we will be happy to answer your questions over the phone. You can also schedule a free in office consultation and we will review the facts of your case and advise you as to what you should be doing. You can even fill out our brief online form and we will get back in touch with you. There are far too many mistakes that you can make in handling your own claim. You need to get the advice of an experienced Connecticut accident attorney and injury lawyer. Don’t get hurt a second time. Contact us today.

Stamford CT Car Accident Case – How Do I Get Free Advice?

Bridgeport, Norwalk, Danbury, Ridgefield, Stamford, Connecticut

March 4, 2013 by Leave a Comment

If you have been injured in a Stamford CT car accident case one of the issues that will need to be proven is liability. In other words, a determination will have to be made to see who caused the accident. Clients often times will want to know how we go about proving liability. There are many issues that will need to be investigated in a Stamford CT car accident case to determine who is at fault. Sometimes clients feel like this is a very easy thing to prove but many times there are a number of complications that make this determination somewhat difficult.

Basically stated, the plaintiff, or person injured, has the burden of proving that the other party was negligent. Negligence is a very broad area of the law that deals with a great number of types and causes of actions. Negligence involves the failure of one to exercise the level of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised under the same circumstances. If a person causes a motor vehicle accident one issue that would have to be determined is whether or not the person who caused the accident was negligent. In other words, did that person do something that a reasonably prudent person would not have done such as engaging in reckless driving or running a red light. Negligence involves a breach of that duty that one person owes to another whereby damages are incurred by one party as a result of the breach of duty on the other party.

Insurance companies and their lawyers will look to discredit plaintiffs or will try and find ways to attempt to blame the injured party for causing, or failing to avoid, the accident. The insurance adjuster might try and show that the injured party was traveling over the posted speed limit or failed to take evasive action to avoid the accident or that they were temporarily distracted and did not react in time. If the insurance adjuster is successful in reducing the fault of their insured then they will be in a position where they will offer less money to the injured party because of the fact that there is contributory negligence on the part of the injured party.

To the extent that this information seems somewhat confusing, it is meant to be. Insurance companies try and make these cases as difficult as possible in an effort to pay you as little money as they can. If you attempt to represent yourself, without first getting the advice of an experienced Connecticut accident attorney or injury lawyer, then you run the very real risk of greatly compromising the value of your claim. It is extremely important that you contact an experienced Connecticut injury attorney or accident lawyer as soon as possible.

We are happy to provide injured parties and their families with free legal advice.

HOW TO RESOLVE YOUR CT ACCIDENT AND INJURY CASE WITHOUT A TRIAL‏

Bridgeport, Norwalk, Danbury, Ridgefield, Stamford, Connecticut

February 10, 2013 by Leave a Comment

If you have been seriously injured in some type of an accident in Connecticut and you are looking to revolve your CT accident and injury case prior to trial one of the most efficient and cost-effective methods of doing this is through a process called alternative dispute resolution or ADR. This type of the procedure usually involves a disinterested third party who is either agreed to mediate the case between the plaintiff and the defendant or in a judicial setting, is a judge.

It is a good idea to explore the option of engaging in alternative dispute resolution with your attorney. The key to having a productive ADR session is to make sure that you are fully prepared to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your case so that you will not be caught off guard or appear vulnerable. It is also a good idea to insist that the claims adjuster or person with the authority to pay the claim, be present at the meeting. Not only does the attorney who represents the plaintiff have to be fully prepared but the client also needs to be completely familiar with the facts of the case, his/her medical treatment, any pre-existing injuries, and be in a position to fully describe how this accident and the resulting injuries have affected your life.

It is important to hire an experienced Connecticut accident attorney and injury lawyer who is well-versed in the proper development of a CT accident and injury case so that you have many options available to you in which to attempt to settle the case so as to save you the time and expense of a trial. Even if your case does not settle through an alternative dispute resolution session you generally speaking will have received an increase offer from the insurance company and you will be fully familiar with all of the defenses that the at fault party’s insurance company is going to assert at trial.

Our Connecticut injury lawyers and accident attorneys have been helping injured parties and their families for decades. One of our attorneys has specialized training in advanced negotiation through the Harvard Law School. One of our attorneys also has mediation training through the Harvard Law School.
