A serious accident can happen anywhere and leave you with painful injuries, significant financial losses, and a host of other problems. If you’ve been hurt or have incurred losses due to an accident caused by the negligence of another party, you have the right to hire a Connecticut personal injury lawyer and attempt to hold the at-fault party liable.
At Claggett, Sykes & Garza, we pride ourselves on our history of recovering over $100 million in case results for clients from all walks of life. With our extensive legal experience, dedication to providing an excellent client experience, and wealth of resources, we have what it takes to help you empower yourself and obtain the financial remedies you deserve.
Types of Personal Injury Cases a Connecticut Lawyer Can Handle
Since our firm was founded in 2016, our Connecticut personal injury lawyers have worked with individuals injured in various incidents. We’ve gained a great deal of knowledge regarding many types of cases and are confident in our ability to provide you with excellent legal counsel and representation, no matter how complex your situation is.
You can count on our team to do everything we can to help you recover from and move past any of the following accidents:
Car Accident
When negligent and reckless drivers take to the road, they can cause serious collisions and potentially life-altering injuries. If you’ve been involved in a car wreck, a Connecticut car accident lawyer from our team can investigate the incident, prove fault, and work hard to secure the compensation you need to afford quality medical treatment and cover other losses.
Catastrophic Injury
Nearly any type of accident can result in a catastrophic injury like a traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, or another condition that significantly impacts your life and results in lasting impairments. If you or a loved one has been involved in such an incident, we can work with your doctors to determine how much you’ll need to cover current and future care costs.
Once we’ve determined how much compensation you need to manage your injury and any lasting effects you’re expected to experience, we’ll fight for the appropriate payment. Whether we seek damages from an insurance company or in court, you can expect our catastrophic injury lawyers in Connecticut to provide compassionate representation throughout your entire case.
Medical Malpractice
Physicians are legally obligated to provide a certain standard of care to all their patients. When they fail to do so, and a patient is injured, the medical professional can be held liable for their negligence. If you’ve been hurt by a doctor, nurse, care facility, or another entity in the medical profession, a Connecticut medical malpractice attorney from our team can help you.
Whether your injury was caused by misdiagnosis, incorrect dosage of medication, surgical errors, failure to treat, or another example of medical negligence, our team can work tirelessly to get you the compensation you need to treat your injury, replace financial losses, and deal with any emotional distress caused by the incident.
Motorcycle Accident
Even when motorcycle riders take extensive safety precautions and practice defensive driving, they can still cross paths with a careless motorist and get in a life-threatening accident. If you or someone close to you has been thrown from their bike in a Connecticut motorcycle accident, our firm can take on their case and fight for a settlement that meets their needs.
Premises Liability
When homeowners, business owners, and other types of property owners fail to keep their premises safe for visitors, serious accidents can occur. If you’ve been hurt in a slip and fall accident or another incident caused by a property owner’s negligence, our Connecticut premises liability attorneys can seek compensation for your medical bills and more.

Compensation a Connecticut Personal Injury Attorney Can Pursue for You
Whether you were injured in a car wreck, motorcycle accident, medical malpractice incident, or another situation, our team can seek the damages you need to make a full recovery. Ideally, the compensation you receive from a personal injury claim will make up for the pain, medical expense, emotional suffering, and other losses you’ve been burdened with.
Depending on how your accident and injuries have impacted your life and finances, our personal injury attorneys in Connecticut may seek several or more of the following financial remedies on your behalf:
- Current and ongoing medical expenses
- Cost of ambulance transportation and hospital treatment
- Cost of physical therapy and assistive medical devices
- Property damage expenses
- Lost wages
- Decreased earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
How Long You Have to Take Legal Action After a Personal Injury Incident
When a lawyer from our firm works on your case, they’ll have to abide by a number of rules and requirements. Perhaps the most important rule that applies to your case is Connecticut’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584, you have two years from the date of your accident to submit a civil suit.
If you fail to get your suit filed in time, you could be barred from receiving the damages you need to pay your bills and move forward with your life. Getting in touch with a lawyer soon after your accident will give them the time they need to investigate the incident, build a compelling case, and file your civil suit before the two-year deadline.
