Connecticut Drunk Driver Accident Lawyers

Saturday, December 8th, 2007
If you have been injured by a drunk driver, it is vital that you contact one of our Hartford personal injury lawyers as soon as possible.  Why? - because not only is the drunk driver liable for your injuries and losses, but the establishment that served the alcohol to the drunk driver.  You have 120 days to put the dram shop on written notice of your intention of filing a claim against it.  If written notice is not given within the 120 days, you will be prohibited from bringing a dram shop claim against the establishment.

Injured In A Slip And Fall Accident

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

If you have been injured as a result of a slip and fall accident, it is important that you contact our law firm’s Hartford personal injury lawyers as soon as possible.  In many slip and fall cases, the defective  or dangerous condition that caused the fall will be repaired shortly after the incident.  Consequently, by retaining one of our Connecticut trial lawyers, we can take the necessary steps to preserve the evidence.  In some cases, the injuries to the person prevent the person from immediately notifying the property owner of the accident.  By hiring our law firm, we will place the property owner on written notice of the claim.  In other cases, the slip and fall accident took place on State of Connecticut or city property.  In these cases, there are crucial and short time deadlines to place the State or municipality on written notice of your legal claim.  If written notice is not given, you will be prohibited from bringing a lawsuit against the responsible town, city or the State of Connecticut. By hiring our Hartford Connecticut trial lawyers, we will place the relevant city or town on written notice. 

As winter approaches, the number of slip and fall accidents that result in serious injuries rises.  That is because the winter brings freezing temperatures, snow and ice.  If you have been injured as a result of a slip and fall accident, please contact our law firm. 

NY Doctor Re-Uses Needles On Patients

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Unfortunately, medical malpractice happens far too often and if you have been injured due to medical malpractice, contact one of our Connecticut medical malpractice lawyers.  Another example of medical malpractice was reported last week when the New York state health officials informed over 600 patients of Dr. Harvey Finkelstein, anesthesiologist, after learning that the doctor may have put his patients at risk by reusing syringes. They began investigating Finkelstein back in 2005 after two of his patients contracted hepatitis C. In 2005 officials notified 98 epidural recipients of possible infection after the two cases were reported. No additional cases resulted from those tested. The New York Health Commissioner has identified 628 patients that could have been possibly infected from Jan. of 2001 and Jan. 2005.
