Benefits of Hiring an Attorney for Your Car Accident Claim in Connecticut

Getting compensation for your car accident injuries should be simple. However, insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to pay out as little as they can on serious car accident claims like yours. You shouldn’t have to face these tactics alone when you’re trying to recover. Instead, reach out to D’Amico Pettinicchi and let our skilled car accident attorneys in Connecticut protect your interests.

The lawyers at D’Amico Pettinicchi have decades of experience handling vehicle accident cases, with millions of dollars won for our clients. We know the strategies insurance companies use to delay, deny, or undervalue serious accident claims, and we’re prepared to fight each one. We also have the necessary qualifications to take on complex and difficult injury lawsuits. As an example, we have earned dual board certification in civil trial advocacy and civil pretrial practice by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.

When you have strong legal representation like us on your side, it sends a clear message to the insurance company that you’re determined to recover maximum compensation. We want you to discover how our law firm can make a significant difference in getting your life back to where it needs to be. Reach out to us today and schedule your free, confidential case review.

What Should You Do After a Car Accident?

It’s understandable for someone who has just been involved in an auto accident to experience a rush of emotions in that moment. You want to be sure you, your passengers, and anyone else involved in the crash are OK. However, by taking the following steps after an auto collision, you can significantly improve the outcome of your car accident lawsuit:

  • Remove your vehicle from the flow of traffic if possible.
  • Check yourself and others for injuries, and call 911 if anyone appears injured.
  • Even if you think you have suffered only minor harm, seek medical attention immediately. Some injuries, like concussions or soft tissue injuries, might not make themselves known right away, and a doctor can examine you to determine if you may have these conditions.
  • If you can safely do so, document everything at the scene. Take photos of vehicle damage, the accident scene, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
  • Exchange insurance information with the other driver, but avoid discussing fault or admitting responsibility.
  • When speaking with police officers, stick to the facts and don’t speculate on what you think happened.
  • Contact our office as soon as possible after the accident.

How Our Lawyers Investigate Car Accident Cases

If we at D’Amico Pettinicchi can take your car accident claim, our legal team will immediately begin gathering evidence to build the strongest possible case on your behalf. This includes the following:

  • Obtaining and reviewing police reports, medical records, witness statements, and physical evidence from the scene
  • Visiting the accident location to examine road conditions
  • Interviewing eyewitnesses
  • Working with experts to recreate the sequence of events leading to the collision
  • Assessing all your accident-related losses to come up with an accurate figure that we can pursue for you

In cases involving commercial vehicles (like delivery vans and trucks) or multiple parties, we can look at maintenance records, driver logs, and corporate policies. By taking a wide-ranging approach to each accident case, we’ve not only recovered millions of dollars for our clients — we’ve had other attorneys in Connecticut refer their most challenging cases to us, because they know we can handle them.
