Personal Injury and Workers' Compensation

Greater Danbury Personal Injury and Accident Claims

The personal injury lawyers at Collins, Hannafin offer free consultations to persons who need advice about their right to compensation for injuries suffered in motor vehicle collisions, workplace accidents, and other circumstances involving the negligence of another. To learn more about our ability to recover compensation in cases resulting in accident injuries or wrongful death, contact an experienced attorney at our offices in Danbury or Ridgefield.

We offer highly personalized and accessible service that seeks to maximize the value of our clients' financial recovery while our clients themselves concentrate on the difficult tasks of physical rehabilitation, adjustment to a long-term or permanent disability, or the loss of a family member in a fatal accident. For personal injury victims who encounter administrative barriers to diagnostic tests or treatment, we can help resolve problems with insurance carriers and third-party payers so that you have the best chance for a complete physical recovery.

Our Connecticut personal injury attorneys represent clients on a wide range of negligence claims, including such accidents as the following:

• Car crashes, including those caused by intoxicated or hit-and-run drivers
• Semi truck accidents
• Pedestrian or bicyclist injuries
• Products liability claims
• Unsafe property claims
• Private or commercial plane crashes
• Accidents at construction sites, warehouses, factories, or terminals
• Accidents resulting in traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, or severe burns

For persons injured at work, we can file your claim for workers' compensation benefits while we investigate and develop any possible claims for damages against defendants other than your own employer. For example, a commercial driver injured by a negligent motorist can generally recover both workers' comp and personal injury damages upon the proper proof. There may also be automobile insurance issues associated with personal injury claims. Please visit our Automobile Insurance - FAQ page for more information.

No matter how your accident was caused or how likely it is to settle on favorable terms, we prepare each personal injury case as if it were headed for trial. This enables us to develop the evidence of both liability and damages in sufficient detail to force the insurance carriers into a productive settlement posture.

We accept all personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis. That means that we collect no attorneys' fees until your case settles or we collect on a judgment at trial. The personal injury attorneys at Collins, Hannafin also represent clients on appeals of trial court rulings filed by either side.
