Injuries which arise from Unsafe Premises in Connecticut are generally referred to as Premises Liability claims. The circumstances of such injuries are wide and varied. They can occur in the work place or at any location where a person may attend as a social or business invitee. It is a mistake, however, to think that just because one is injured through no fault of their own that Connecticut Law recognizes a right to financial compensation on that basis alone. In fact, he circumstances of the injury must be examined to see if a defect or other manner of danger existed at the premises where the injury occured which caused the incident to occur. If this can be established along with the fact that the person or entity in control of the premises had acutal or constructive notice of those circumstances then the claim may properly be pursued. As is readiliy apparent, the analysis of whether such a case can be successfuly pursued is highly fact dependent and one can often expect an aggressive defense to be asserted.

Sometimes a workers compensation claim may exist concurrent with a premises claim if the injury occured in the course and scope of employment. Due to the challenging nature proving premises liability claims and the need to secure evidence and early documentation of what occured it is wise to retain Legal Counsel early on. We can handle all aspects of these matters for you so you will not require a separate firm to handle your workers compensation case and another to investigate a Premises liability tort claim. Cases handled have involved a wide variety of injuries including, brain injuries, paralysis, fractures , and severe lacerations and burns, to name a few.We have received substantial verdicts in this area including both six and seven figure results for our clients.

We take an exhaustive approach to developing these claims.

Contact us now and we will aggressively and tirelessly pursue your case. Getting legal help early is perhaps the single most important thing you can do now. Please keep in mind that strict Statute of Limitation periods apply and often case results can be enhanced by early involvement of counsel in order to secure critical evidence, witness statements and avoid unhelpful contact between you and an insurance adjuster or investigator. We pursue these types of cases, when justified, strictly on a contingency fee basis and advance all costs of investigation which you are not responsible for unless we recover a Judgment or settlement on your behalf.
