Have You Been Involved in a Car Accident and are Looking to Make a Personal Injury Claim?

A car accident is always a terrible experience; but when one is caused due by another person’s fault, carelessness, and negligence, it is even worse. An unnecessary and preventable accident that causes someone to suffer injuries or even death is very difficult to accept.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an auto accident caused by someone else’s negligence,  it is essential to obtain the services of a Connecticut car accident lawyer as soon as possible. You may be able to recover compensation for the damages you have suffered and continue to suffer.

Experience & Compassion

Experience Matters at the Negotiation Table & in the Courtroom

Our successful track record obtaining favorable settlement awards and court-ordered verdicts are credited in large part to the depth of our expertise in Connecticut auto accident laws and procedures.

We know our clients hope to settle their cases as soon as possible. That is why we pledge to work tirelessly to resolve matters as efficiently as possible. Our Connecticut car accident lawyers have exceptional negotiation and trial management skills, which we use to create and implement strategic plans to help our clients obtain the best possible outcomes.

We are fully aware that settlement negotiations may result in the highest possible financial compensation for our clients. Therefore, our experienced legal team consists only of attorneys with superior negotiation skills and measurable results.

Our reputation as a respected, successful, and formidable law firm often serves as strong motivation to insurance companies to forego the games and instead offer our clients fair, appropriate, and favorable settlement awards. However, if the insurance companies and their lawyers refuse to offer what our clients deserve, we are more than ready, willing, and able to walk away from the table and take our cases to court.

Our lawyers are tenacious litigators and will aggressively represent clients in their quests to obtain appropriate settlement awards or winning verdicts in Connecticut courtrooms. Because of our Connecticut car accident attorneys’ superior litigation skills, the vast majority of auto accident cases that we handle often result in favorable settlement agreements before they progress to final trials.

Compassion is Also Important

We recognize and respect the reality that a car accident can be a life-changing event for you and your family.  Your life and the lives of your loved ones may change course in the blink of an eye; and the physical healing and recovery may last days, months, or even years.

We also understand the emotional turmoil that you and your family may endure in the aftermath of a Connecticut automobile accident. We regularly witness just how overwhelming it may be to deal with a loved one’s injuries, the prospects for a healthy recovery, and the resulting high medical costs.

While trying to physically heal, you also worry about the mortgage, household bills, college tuition, and other expenses.

Our lawyers are here to help relieve some of these burdens. We pride ourselves in helping our clients focus on their health while we deal with insurance companies and their lawyers, employers, medical care providers, and more.

Our goal is to help you move forward with your life following the period of chaos and uncertainty caused by a car accident. We seek to recover the financial compensation that you and your family needs and deserves.

I want to express my appreciation for the work of [the firm] and especially Christina Hanna. Christina represented me and my family recently in litigation. Her professionalism, perseverance and frankly brilliant work brought an apology from the defense. She made my case matter – for me and my daughter, and for the defense. This caring and drive to do the right thing for the right reason is why I believe in Christina and would highly recommend her to anyone. My entire family is grateful to Christina, and I hold her up as an example to my daughter of what strength and character can be. Thank you Christina, and Berkowitz and Hanna LLC, for being there for me and my family. – Irene Morton

Following Your Car Accident, it is SO Important to Contact our Firm for a Complimentary Consultation BEFORE you Speak to Any Insurance Company

Even though you pay your auto insurance company to protect your interests, the reality is that the company must protect its own bottom line. This means reaching a resolution of your case as quickly as possible while shelling out as little money as possible. The job of insurance company representatives is to gather any statements and information that may reduce or eliminate their financial responsibility.

To this end, they can be relentless; and they have no problem calling you multiple times a day at home or at work in order to get your statement. If they know you do not have legal representation, they may ask confusing questions hoping that you eventually contradict yourself and/or offer up information damaging to your case.

Contact our proven Connecticut car accident attorneys first! Once you are represented by an attorney, the insurance companies have to deal with us directly.

Many Factors Contribute to Car Accidents in Connecticut

Despite the advances in vehicle safety technology and increased awareness regarding the dangers of driving while distracted and/or under the influence, far too many auto accidents happen in Connecticut each and every day.

Some of the leading factors causing auto accidents include the following:

  • Increased traffic
  • Drinking and driving
  • Driving while on certain medications
  • Driving while tired
  • Driving while under the influence of illegal drugs
  • Driving while distracted – in any number of ways:
    • Texting, emailing, or talking on cell phones
    • Eating
    • Smoking
    • Drinking
    • Talking with others in the car
  • Speeding
  • Failure to abide by the rules of the road
  • Driving in an unsafe manner given hazardous road conditions such as:
    • Snow
    • Heavy rain
    • Thick fog
    • Animals on the road
  • Inexperienced teen drivers
  • Drivers with trouble seeing, especially at night
