Personal Injury Cases We Can Handle
Our attorneys are true litigators!
Many personal injury law firms only represent victims injured in simple accidents. These law firms are afraid to fight powerful insurance companies and possibly lose in court, and as a result focus on obtaining easy settlements. At the Carter Mario Law Firm, our litigators fight to win by building strong cases to win in court or leverage favorable settlement offers from insurance companies that properly compensate our clients for their injuries.

A New London personal injury attorney can protect your rights and obtain maximum results!

If the other person’s insurance company has denied your claim or is arguing you were not hurt, we can identify and gather crucial evidence for your case with the goal of getting you the money you need to recover from your trauma and rebuild your life.

Car Accidents
801 car accidents occurred in New London in 2022. Despite safety features such as seatbelts and airbags, victims still suffer terrible injuries. If you or your family members have been injured in a car accident, our New London, CT personal injury lawyers are here to help you navigate the legal process and secure the compensation you need for your recovery.
Truck Accidents
Collisions involving commercial trucks often cause worse injuries than accidents involving normal vehicles. Stated simply, the large size and heavy weight of commercial trucks means they are more dangerous and lethal to other vehicles. If you were injured in a truck accident, you can trust us to collect crucial evidence, such as black box data, post-accident drug tests, and driver sleep logs, to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders often find their lives permanently shifted after a collision. This is because the lack of physical protection causes motorcycle riders to suffer catastrophic injuries. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, you need strong legal representation to overcome the fierce defenses the other driver’s insurance company will use to fight your lawsuit.
Workers’ Compensation
Were you recently injured on the job? Connecticut law (Sec. 31-275) allows you to claim numerous workers’ compensation benefits including wage replacement and medical care, even if you caused your injury. Our experienced attorneys will guide you through the worker’s compensation process, ensuring you receive the necessary benefits and compensate you for any permanent disabilities caused by your trauma.
Medical Malpractice
Injuries caused by negligent doctors are made worse because victims entrusted their doctors with their health and welfare. Medical malpractice claims are complex cases to litigate as Connecticut law (Sec. 52-190a) imposes several requirements, including a certificate of merit to be prepared by a medical provider before a victim can file a lawsuit. If you’ve suffered due to medical negligence or broken medical devices, our New London, CT personal injury attorneys will hold healthcare professionals accountable and seek compensation for your pain and suffering.
Defective Products
Manufacturers and distributors only focus on their bottom line and sometimes cut corners to remain profitable. Victims can suffer pain due to one of three types of defects:
- Design defect – The product was improperly designed.
- Manufacturing defect – A flaw in the manufacturing or assembly process.
- Marketing defect – A lack of proper warning or instruction.
If a defective product has caused you to suffer pain or a brain injury, our dedicated team will pursue a product liability claim to ensure you’re fairly compensated.
How to File a New London Personal Injury Claim
Filing a personal injury claim begins with identifying the negligent party. A written demand packet, containing your medical records, bills, and an accident summary is then sent to the negligent person’s insurance company. If the other person’s insurance company refuses to negotiate or makes a minimal settlement offer, our attorneys will file a lawsuit and litigate your case in court.
Who is Allowed to File a Personal Injury Claim in New London, CT?
Understanding who can file a personal injury claim following an accident in New London is essential. If you were hurt in an accident, you have legal standing to file a personal injury claim. Connecticut law (Sec. 52.555) allows the administrator or executor of their estate to file a wrongful death claim if you had a close family member who passed away due to another person’s negligence.
Damages You May Recover in a Personal Injury Claim
The value of your personal injury claim is based on your losses. These losses are known as damages. Connecticut law allows you to claim both economic and non-economic damages (Sec. 52-572h).
Economic Damages
Have you incurred medical expenses as a result of your injuries and medical treatment? Have your injuries prevented you from working? These losses are the economic damages you are entitled to claim in a personal injury lawsuit.
Non-Economic Damages
Did you suffer physical pain as a result of your accident? Have you experienced mental and emotional distress as a result of the accident? While these losses do not have an exact dollar amount, you can still seek monetary compensation for these non-economic damages.
New London Personal Injury FAQs
If you were injured in an accident, it is natural to be confused and frightened. Most people are never injured in accidents, and as a result, have many questions regarding the personal injury claims process. The New London, CT personal injury attorneys at the Carter Mario Law Firm always make themselves available to answer any questions our personal injury clients may have regarding their legal rights and the status of their claims.
Is There a Time Limit on Filing a Personal Injury Claim in New London?
Yes! Time is of the essence!
Following an accident, Connecticut law (Sec. 52-584) imposes a two-year time limit for victims to file a personal injury lawsuit. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations. If you were injured in an accident, you need to obtain representation immediately, as this two-year time limit is strictly enforced.
What Does a New London Personal Injury Attorney Cost?
You only pay if we win your case!
The personal injury lawyers at the Carter Mario Law Firm represent victims on a contingency fee basis. This means you only pay us a percentage of your settlement or judgment we obtain at trial. Are There Damage Caps for Personal Injury Lawsuits in CT?
In general, there is no cap on damages for personal injury claims in Connecticut.
Some states have laws that limit the amount of money victims can recover from personal injury lawsuits. Connecticut is one of the few that does not limit the amount of economic or non-economic damages a victim can obtain. The only exception is for punitive damages, which are not based on a specific statute. If a victim obtains a common law punitive damages award, the Supreme Court of Connecticut limits punitive damages to attorneys fees and litigation costs.
Can I sue for a dog bite in Connecticut?
Yes! You can sue for a dog bite in Connecticut!
If you or a loved one were injured as a result of a dog bite, Connecticut law (Sec. 22-357) allows you to sue the owner under a theory of strict liability. This means you do not have to prove the owner knew their dog was dangerous. Instead, you must merely prove the dog caused your injuries.
I was a passenger in a car accident; can I file a personal injury claim?
If you were a passenger in a car accident, you can absolutely file a personal claim!
As a passenger in a car accident, you have a better chance of obtaining financial compensation as opposed to a driver. As a passenger, you were not driving, which means you are nearly blameless for the accident. However, you will probably have to sue both drivers as they will each attempt to shift blame.
If I don’t seek medical attention from an accident, will this affect my personal injury case?
Delaying your medical treatment will negatively affect your personal injury case!
If you were injured in an accident, you should obtain medical treatment immediately. By delaying your medical care, you are giving the other person’s insurance company a reason to minimize or deny your claim. Specifically, they will argue any delays or gaps in your medical treatment mean your injuries are not serious or not related to the accident.
