Mr Berman and Darlene were amazing to work with and always available to answer my questions and concerns. The insurance company offered me a laughable amount and he got me more than I expected. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs help. Always call a lawyer they know what’s best!
The State of Connecticut is considered an “at-fault” state. If another driver is found at-fault for the accident that caused your injuries, you have the right to hold that party liable for your injuries and other damages. In some cases, even if you are partially at fault for the accident, you may collect some compensation for your damages.
The downside?
Who determines what you get in an insurance settlement will be the insurance adjuster. The person who works directly for the insurance company will offer you a settlement that is in the company’s best interest – not yours. Without an advocate who understands the law and the insurance industry, you may be left with an inadequate settlement or none at all.
The Connecticut car accident lawyers at Berman & Russo will thoroughly investigate your accident, gather evidence, consider all your current and future damages, and negotiate the best possible settlement with the insurance company, so you get everything you are entitled to. If a fair settlement isn’t possible through negotiation, we will not hesitate to take the insurance company or at-fault individual to court to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
Why should you jump through all those hoops? The accident wasn’t your fault and getting your claim processed quickly and fairly shouldn’t feel like punishment. Our conveniently located South Windsor, Connecticut attorneys can guide you through the process and make it easy.
Jon Berman helped me and my company through the worst crisis I can think of. Not only did he give us stellar advice to save our reputation, but he and his team also worked our case thoroughly, gave us steps to take to prove our side of the matter, and helped get the matter resolved. I knew he was invested in helping us. Having him in our corner definitely was a reassuring experience. He was patient with me and my anxieties, helped keep me sane and prevent me from spiraling, and kept a cool head when I was finding it difficult to do so. He saved me from an ulcer and a nervous breakdown, on top of the legal matters he helped my company fully resolve. Thank you, Jon and co! Without you, things would have gone so differently!
When you have suffered injuries in a car accident, you deserve a legal advocate looking out for your interests, not just the insurance company looking out for their own. That is exactly what the Connecticut personal injury attorneys at Berman & Russo do.
Car accidents are physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelming. While most medical interventions are financially costly, others, depending on the extent of your injuries, can affect you for years to come, sometimes for the rest of your life. You may not be able to work while you are healing. Some injuries may affect your future ability to work altogether. Under personal injury laws, you may be entitled to compensation for all these damages and more.
When you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, that person should be held responsible. Our experienced CT car accident lawyers understand what you are entitled to under Connecticut law and how to place a value on your claim to ensure that you are fairly compensated for everything you are entitled to.
Clients tell us all the time – it’s not just about the money. It’s about being listened to and treated fairly. In our experience, the most compassionate care we can give you is personal service, clear answers, and timely results.
But you also need a firm that is willing to go the distance on your behalf. At Berman & Russo, that is exactly what we do. When you have been injured in a car accident in Connecticut, let us put our years of experience in your corner.
Insurance claims arise out of the damages that injured individuals face after an injury accident. You deserve compensation if you suffer losses and inconveniences due to another party’s negligence, such as another motorist. The amount you request depends upon the types and severity of your compensable damages. These damages can be divided into two categories; economic and non-economic. Both categories can include past and future damages you will suffer from injuries.
Economic damages represent your financial losses. The most common economic damages in rideshare accidents are medical expenses and lost wages. Other economic damages include property damage and legal and travel expenses.
Non-economic damages are less concrete and, as such, more difficult to value. They don’t have an already assigned price tag. Your non-economic damages might include the following:
Generally, the vehicle driver that hit you is liable for your injuries. Sometimes other parties can also be liable. For example, if a traffic light malfunctioned, the municipality responsible for maintaining it could have some liability. If another driver rear-ended the driver who hit you, they might also be liable. Commercial drivers and the companies they work for can sometimes be liable.
When you hire a Connecticut car accident attorney, they can complete a full investigation into how your accident happened and who might have caused it. If more than one party is liable, they can pursue claims against all of them. This will help maximize your compensation.
The following negligent behaviors can make a driver liable for your injuries:
Most auto accident cases settle at some point before going to trial. At Berman & Russo, we do our best to work out a full and fair settlement before going to trial. Our legal and ethical duty is to present you with any settlement offers we receive from the insurance company. It’s your choice as to whether you want to accept those offers. We can provide sound advice about what your case is worth and if the settlement offers you receive are fair in light of your injuries and damages.
Often, a settlement is preferable over litigation for the injured and at-fault parties. This is because settlement arrangements give both sides more control over the case outcome. It’s risky for both sides to let a jury decide the claim’s fate. A settlement can also help a claim end sooner, allowing injured people to have the money they need to pay their bills and make up for their lost wages sooner. Litigating a case can be time-consuming and expensive, motivating all involved parties to negotiate a settlement instead of going to trial.
