Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our Greenwich legal team handles a comprehensive range of personal injury matters affecting Connecticut residents. Each case receives personalized attention from our injury attorneys who know both the legal complexities and the human impact of serious injuries.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle collisions remain among the most common causes of serious injuries in Greenwich and throughout Fairfield County. The Connecticut Crash Data Repository documented more than 89,000 crashes throughout the state in 2025 involving over 212,000 people, with many resulting in serious injuries requiring extensive medical treatment. We handle car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle collisions, pedestrian accidents, and bicycle accidents throughout Greenwich and surrounding Connecticut communities.
Premises Liability
Property owners throughout Greenwich have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors. Premises liability cases involve slip and fall accidents, inadequate security leading to assaults, dangerous property conditions, and negligent maintenance causing injuries. Our attorneys investigate these claims thoroughly to establish property owner liability and secure appropriate compensation.
Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage, require extensive medical treatment and long-term care that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime. Our attorneys work with medical experts to document the full extent of these injuries and calculate both current and future expenses when pursuing maximum compensation.
Workplace and Construction Accidents
We handle workplace accidents where third-party negligence played a role beyond standard workers’ compensation claims. Construction site injuries often involve multiple liable parties, including property owners, general contractors, and equipment manufacturers. Our team investigates these complex cases to identify all responsible parties and maximize your available compensation.
What Damages Can You Recover in Your Personal Injury Case?
Personal injury victims in Connecticut may pursue both economic and non-economic damages, depending on the circumstances of their case. Connecticut law generally does not cap non-economic damages in personal injury cases, allowing juries to award compensation that reflects the true impact of your injuries.
The full scope of recoverable damages includes the following:
- Medical expenses: Past and future medical bills, hospital stays, surgery costs, rehabilitation, and prescription medications
- Lost wages: Income lost during recovery and diminished future earning capacity due to permanent injuries
- Property damage: Vehicle repair or replacement costs and damage to other personal property
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain endured during recovery and ongoing discomfort from permanent injuries
- Emotional distress: Anxiety, depression, and psychological trauma resulting from the accident and injuries
- Loss of enjoyment: Inability to participate in activities and hobbies you previously enjoyed
Connecticut operates under a modified comparative negligence system, which impacts how compensation is determined. If you share some responsibility for your accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 51 percent responsible.
How a Greenwich Lawyer Can Help
Our approach to personal injury representation focuses on thorough preparation and aggressive advocacy for Greenwich clients. We begin with comprehensive case investigations that include visiting accident scenes, interviewing witnesses, obtaining police reports, and consulting with accident reconstruction experts when necessary. This foundation allows us to build compelling cases supported by solid evidence.
We collaborate with your treating physicians to document the full scope of your injuries, including how they impact your daily life and future earning capacity. Our attorneys then handle all negotiations with insurance companies, pushing back against tactics designed to minimize your compensation. Insurance adjusters often pressure unrepresented injury victims into accepting inadequate settlements that fail to account for long-term medical needs. When a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, our trial-ready attorneys have the courtroom experience to present your case effectively before a judge and jury.
Why Choose Mandelbaum Barrett PC for Your Personal Injury Claim?
Our Greenwich office provides local access to a full-service law firm with resources typically available only at larger regional firms. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation in your case. This arrangement eliminates financial barriers to quality legal representation, allowing you to focus on medical treatment and recovery.
Our firm’s longevity and reputation throughout Connecticut provide significant advantages when dealing with insurance companies and defense attorneys who recognize our track record of successful outcomes. Connecticut law imposes a two-year statute of limitations on most personal injury claims, meaning you must file your lawsuit within two years of the accident date. Missing this deadline typically results in losing your right to seek compensation entirely, which is why prompt legal action is critical.
