What Do Our New Haven Personal Injury Lawyers Do?
We’ll handle every aspect of the legal process when you turn to us for help. You have enough stress already, so let us take care of the following while you focus on your health:
- Investigation: Our personal injury attorneys will investigate the incident thoroughly to determine who’s at fault and how they caused your injury. We’ll gather strong evidence for liability and damages and interview witnesses to support your case. We’ll also calculate a fair value for your personal injury claim.
- Negotiation: We’ll file a claim and start negotiating with the insurance company on your behalf. We won’t back down if the insurance company tries to minimize your claim.

During your initial consultation, we’ll listen to your story attentively. We’ll give you space to explain what happened and how it’s affected your life.

With this information in hand, we’ll explain your legal rights and your case’s potential strength. We’ll also tell you what our next steps would be if you choose to hire us as your legal representation. The consultation is obligation-free, meaning you are under no pressure to hire us. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your decision before moving forward.
How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in CT?
Under Connecticut’s personal injury statute of limitations, you must file a claim within two years of the injury date in most cases. If you didn’t discover the injury or its cause until later, you have two years from the date of discovery to file a claim, as long as it’s within three years of the injury. Wrongful death claims have a two-year filing deadline starting from the date of death.
If you miss your case’s filing deadline, you may lose the right to seek compensation. That’s why it’s important to contact our law firm as soon as possible after you’ve been injured. Working with us quickly also helps you avoid the pitfalls that may prolong your wait for a settlement, such as difficulties locating evidence that has faded over time.
What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
You can recover compensation for any losses you suffer due to your injury. These losses may include economic damages to compensate you for the injury’s financial impact, such as the following:
- Past, current, and future medical expenses for injury-related treatment
- Lost wages for the work you missed while recovering
- Lost earning capacity for the injury’s long-term effects on your ability to perform your previous work
- Disability-related expenses, such as in-home care and mobility equipment
Your compensation may also include non-economic damages, which compensate you for the injury’s impact on your quality of life. Common non-economic damages available in personal injury cases include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium for the impact on your relationship with your spouse
- Loss of enjoyment of life for the loss of activities you can no longer participate in due to your injury
Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
The party that caused your injury may have insurance to cover your damages. However, getting fair compensation from the insurance company may be challenging. Insurance companies are businesses whose main goal is to maximize profits and minimize payouts.
Therefore, the insurance company may use tactics to try to reduce your compensation. Pushing back against these tactics is difficult enough. It can be impossible when you’re dealing with an injury and don’t have legal experience.
That’s where we come in. Our personal injury attorneys in New Haven are here to level the playing field between you and the powerful insurance company. We can handle all communications to prevent the insurance adjusters from taking advantage of you. You can focus on your recovery while we use our experience and knowledge in your favor. All of this can mean more money in your pocket and less stress for you and your family.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in New Haven Cost?
Our fees depend on the amount of compensation we recover for you. You pay nothing upfront or out of pocket for our personal injury representation.
Can I Still File a Claim if I Was Partially at Fault?
Yes, you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim if you were partially at fault. Under Connecticut’s modified comparative negligence law, you may receive compensation if you’re less than 51 percent at fault for your injury. Any partial fault will reduce your compensation by your share of the fault.

I recommend using this business to help you with any of your legal needs because they go above and beyond to help how they can.
Dealing with my SSDI filing, I couldn’t have had a more understanding and kind experience. Johana Guzman was extremely diligent and explained everything nicely so that I didn’t feel as overwhelmed.

I'd also tell them that when your team says not to worry, take what they say to heart!
From the very beginning, the team at Rob Levine Law that worked on my disability claim were confident of winning, and I just wish that I’d listened when they told me not to worry! After almost two and a half years, I was doubtful about my chances. But Christian Munez, Alexander Rosas, and Dee Hansberry all reassured me that dealing with the government is a meticulous process that has rules to follow & hurdles to jump. And they were absolutely right!! I got the letter from Judge Jacobson saying my case has been decided 100% in my favor! It seems odd to be happy about being officially disabled, but I can’t stop smiling, and it’s all because of my team’s efforts! I couldn’t be more satisfied with their work! The results speak for themselves, but if anyone seeking justice asked me, I would give Rob Levine Law the highest recommendation possible!
Jane K.
