Understanding Compensation with a Connecticut Personal Injury Lawyer

We ensure your suffering and financial strain are fully recognized and compensated.

We’ll Handle the Insurance Company for You

Accident injuries can range from minor to severe. If you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, working with an experienced lawyer is crucial. At Claggett, Sykes & Garza, we understand a wide variety of injuries and know how to work with medical professionals to secure the compensation you need.

How Long You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Connecticut

It’s essential to focus on your recovery after an injury, but starting your personal injury claim early is equally important to protect your rights. Connecticut’s statutes of limitation vary and can be as short as one year from the date of injury. Missing these deadlines means losing your right to compensation. Our team will ensure your suit is filed on time if you contact us soon after your injury.

No Win, No Fee Payment Policy

Financial pressures can make hiring an attorney daunting. Our no-win, no-fee policy means you don’t pay upfront for our services. We are paid a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you, and there is no charge for us to review your case. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. This policy removes financial barriers, allowing you to access high-quality legal representation.
