Personal Injury

The term "Personal Injury" encompasses a wide range of situations where an individual is injured due to another person or entity's careless or reckless actions. These injuries can result from car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, medical malpractice, and other circumstances involving negligent or reckless conduct. If you find yourself in such a situation, it is crucial to seek legal advice as soon as possible after receiving medical treatment. Insurance companies immediately begin investigating personal injury cases to identify potential weaknesses and reduce their liability. Having legal representation early on in the process is essential to protect your rights and preserve your claim. Your attorney can handle the legal aspects of your claim without emotion, providing you with valuable resources and guidance during this difficult time.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are often caused by recklessness or carelessness, including speeding, running red lights, sudden lane changes, illegal u-turns, and distracted driving. At Potok Law, we thoroughly investigate each case to identify all avenues of recovery for our clients. Connecticut law requires motorists to carry a minimum of $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident in insurance coverage. However, many times, this coverage is insufficient to compensate the injured party. We explore additional insurance benefits, including underinsured/uninsured motorist benefits, homeowners' insurance, and excess/umbrella policies. In some cases, it is necessary to research the personal assets of the responsible party to ensure adequate compensation.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to wrongful death is an incredibly difficult experience, made even more challenging by the need to navigate a complex legal situation. Potok Law can help you through the Connecticut Wrongful Death statute, protect your rights, and help you recover the full value of damages you deserve. These damages may include reimbursement for medical expenses, loss of future income, property damage, future services, loss of consortium, and punitive damages if negligence was criminal.

Connecticut Premises Liability Law

Under Connecticut Premises Liability Law, property owners are required to keep their commercial properties safe and secure. Potok Law can help you determine whether you have a premises liability case if you have been injured due to a property owner's negligence in maintaining a dangerous condition or providing proper security.

Additional Services

In addition to personal injury, worker's compensation, motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death, and premises liability, Potok Law offers services in criminal law, disability, debt collection, contract law, wills and probate, and website design.
