Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will take a case to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the area. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including what percentage the firm takes and who pays expenses. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.
What to do after an accident in Griswold
After an accident in Griswold, get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries appear later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes. Exchange and gather information from everyone involved, including names, contact details, and insurance information. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Connecticut sets a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, with a 3-year repose, so acting promptly matters.
