You may be entitled to compensation for your damages, and an experienced legal representative can guide you through the process of ensuring accountability and compensation as swiftly as possible.

Accident injuries in Guilford and surrounding Connecticut communities send thousands of people to emergency rooms every year. Some victims of careless behavior experience years of suffering from painful and disabling injuries. The personal injury attorneys at Dolan Injury Lawyers, PLLC, help accident victims recover compensation when the negligent conduct of another person or business causes their injuries.

Injury victims need compassionate, effective advocates who can take on the burden of handling their accident claims. We work hard to maximize injury settlements so that our clients can improve the quality of their lives. When an insurance company refuses to agree to a fair settlement, we fight to make juries understand the impact that injuries have on our clients.

We pride ourselves on the personal, caring attention that each client receives. We do not charge a fee in personal injury cases unless we obtain compensation for the client. Our firm has years of professional experience helping clients throughout the Guilford area and can apply this experience to your situation. The sooner you contact our firm, the more time and flexibility we have to build your case.

Helping Victims of Motor Vehicle Accidents

The experienced injury lawyers at Dolan Injury Lawyers, PLLC, help Connecticut injury victims who were involved in motor vehicle accidents that were caused by a careless driver. We provide skilled representation to victims of:

• Car crashes
• Motorcycle crashes
• Collisions with large trucks
• Bicycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Boating accidents

When drunk drivers cause an accident, we determine whether the person or business who served alcohol to the driver can be held responsible under Connecticut’s dram shop law. We also help motor vehicle injury victims bring claims against their own insurers under the uninsured or underinsured motorist provisions of their insurance policies.

Helping Victims of Negligent Property Owners

Dolan Injury Lawyers, PLLC, represents Connecticut injury victims in claims against homeowners, pet owners, businesses, and other property owners. Careless conduct by property owners can lead to serious injuries. Visitors slip and fall when businesses fail to clean up spills and when homeowners neglect to clear snow from their home entrances.

Businesses and homeowners are also responsible when they fail to repair dangerous property conditions or to warn visitors of hidden hazards. Injuries from unsafe premises are almost always the fault of a negligent property owner. Pet owners are responsible for dog bite injuries when they fail to control their animals.

Helping Victims of Unsafe Products

Product manufacturers and sellers can be held responsible when consumers suffer injuries that result from dangerous or defective products. The product liability attorneys at Dolan Injury Lawyers, PLLC, investigate consumer injuries to determine whether an unsafe design or a defect in manufacturing contributed to the product user’s injury.

Helping Victims of Significant Accident Injuries

Even an injury that seems minor at the time of an accident can have serious and lasting consequences. Our New Haven personal injury law firm helps victims of all significant accident injuries, including:

• Head injuries
• Brain injuries
• Broken bones
• Crush injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Spine injuries
• Nerve damage
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Hand and foot injuries
• Amputations
• Knee and other joint injuries
• Facial lacerations
• Eye injuries
• Muscle, tendon, and other soft tissue injuries

Even small injuries might turn into serious injuries over time. No case should settle until the extent of the victim’s injuries is known. To learn what you need to do to protect your right to receive compensation, call Dolan Injury Lawyers, PLLC, as soon as you can after experiencing a Connecticut accident injury.

Helping Injury Victims Obtain Fair Compensation

The injury lawyers at Dolan Injury Lawyers, PLLC, understand how accident injuries can have a devastating impact on a victim’s life. Coping with pain is stressful. Injuries place a strain on relationships and make it more difficult to accomplish goals. Daily activities that were once taken for granted, such as lifting a child and getting dressed in the morning, can become daily challenges.

Accident victims are entitled to fair compensation from the negligent individuals and businesses that caused or contributed to their injuries. Depending on the nature and extent of the injury, compensation may include:

• Loss of wages
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Past and future medical expenses
• Past and future cost of physical therapy
• Medical appliance costs (such as wheelchairs)
• Prescription costs
• Vocational rehabilitation expenses (for life-changing disabilities)
• Expenses needed to cope with a permanent loss of mobility (such as a wheelchair-accessible van and remodeling a home to widen entryways)
• Home health care assistance
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and mental anguish

Every case is different. No formula can be used to calculate the settlement value of an injury claim. A diligent investigation of the facts will enable a personal injury law firm to negotiate a fair settlement of an injury victim’s case.

We deal with the range of personal injury cases including:

• Car Accidents
• Truck Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Bicycle Accidents
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Claims
• Boat Accidents
• Drunk Driving Accidents
• Dram Shop Claims
• Dog Bites
• Premises Liability
• Slip and Fall
• Products Liability

In almost every personal injury case, proving fault for your damages is the core issue of your case. Before you will be able to collect compensation for the losses you suffered, you will need to accurately identify the party or parties responsible, prove how they caused your personal injury, and then show proof of the full extent of your damages. You must also prove those damages directly resulted from the defendant’s actions and not from any other cause.

Whether fault for your personal injury seems perfectly clear to you or you are unsure how to prove liability for the injury you suffered, you can rely on the team at Dolan Injury Lawyers, PLLC, to build the foundation of your claim. We can help our clients gather the evidence needed to prove fault and uncover all the various forms of compensation they are legally eligible to claim from the defendant who injured them.

What to Expect from Your Guilford Personal Injury Lawyer

No matter how simple or complex you believe your case to be, the right attorney on your side can have a tremendous positive influence on your overall experience with the case and the quality of the final outcome. In every case we accept, our team takes time to listen to our client’s unique needs and concerns, developing an individualized legal strategy that aims for maximum recovery in the most efficient manner.

You may need to deal with insurance companies following your personal injury, and you can rely on our team for ongoing assistance with all of your interactions with insurance company representatives. We can ensure your claim is handled fairly and in good faith and that you receive a fair settlement offer. If insurance can’t cover your losses, you can count on us to build a comprehensive personal injury suit that aims for maximum compensation.

Many personal injury cases can be settled outside of court, and this can enable the parties involved to resolve the matter much faster than litigation would permit. However, settlement isn’t always an option, and in these situations, injured plaintiffs must have legal counsel they can trust advising them to have the greatest chances of success with their claims.

Our firm will do everything we can to resolve your case as swiftly as possible, reducing the time you must wait to collect compensation for your damages. Additionally, there is no financial risk in choosing our firm to represent you, thanks to our contingency fee policy. You will only pay a fee after we win your case, and it will be a percentage of the total amount recovered.

If you were injured by the carelessness of another person or business, call Dolan Injury Lawyers, PLLC, at 203-397-6171. We offer free consultations to personal injury victims in New Haven and elsewhere in Connecticut.
