Gould Injury Law Attorneys

Proving Your Personal Injury Claim in Fairfield County

At our law firm, our CT personal injury lawyers are dedicated to building strong cases that yield our clients optimal results fast. Over the past 20 years, Gould Injury Law has won millions of dollars in personal injury compensation for the injured.

Our bright and ambitious accident attorneys have learned from experience the essential elements required for fast, successful personal injury claims:

  • Duty: An attorney establishes the level of responsibility people have based on their relationship to the injured person. For instance, a driver has an obligation to all who share the road. He or she must take reasonable measures to avoid an auto accident to protect others.
  • Breach: A personal injury lawyer works to prove that an action (or lack of action) on the defendant’s part was a breach of duty. In other words, the party failed in their responsibilities. For instance, an attorney could investigate a car accident to determine whether a motorist breached his or her duty by ignoring traffic laws.
  • Injury: The person making the personal injury claim must have experienced physical, emotional, or financial damages. An attorney might seek medical records and professional options to show the extent of an injury and other accident-related costs. In wrongful death cases, a close family member or representative of the estate can file for damages on behalf of the deceased victim.
  • Causation: An attorney shows that the defendant’s breach of duty was responsible for injuries or preventable loss of life.

Getting Maximum Compensation For Your Losses

Since all Fairfield, CT, accident claims are different, there is no set amount for personal injury compensation. In many cases, insurance companies offer victims a sum of money to settle the case fast and avoid going to trial. In others, courts decide how much you should receive based on the evidence of your losses provided by your attorney,

Property damage

Property damage refers to injury (or loss of use) of tangible possessions, such as cars or homes. For instance, suppose your vehicle gets dented in a car accident. The at-fault party could be held responsible for the cost of repairs, plus car rental fees.

Your property could also suffer damage in a premises liability case. To illustrate, imagine that something falls on your car from the roof of a local store. If negligence or improper maintenance was the issue behind the incident, the property owner can be held liable.

Medical expenses

Medical treatment, especially emergency services, can be expensive. At our law firm, our CT personal injury lawyers want you to get what you are due. We aggressively pursue compensation for expenses incurred from the start of the injury to treatment and rehabilitation.

Typical medical costs are:

  • Ambulance fees
  • Hospital bills
  • Surgery costs
  • Laboratory tests
  • Physical therapy
  • Doctor consultations 
  • Prescription drugs
  • Medical assistive devices

A shameless insurance company might negotiate a settlement that seems sufficient to cover your medical bills. Yet, a good rule-of-thumb is to never accept a settlement without consulting with an attorney. 

Our experienced personal injury lawyers can let you know what your case is really worth. Besides reimbursement for past bills, we can help you get what you deserve for medical expenses that will surely arise in the future. Getting fast legal advice is free, so call 888-WIN-FAST today to schedule your personalized case review.

Our personal injury attorneys have recovered thousands of dollars of lost wages for clients, and we continue to help Connecticut residents claim lost wages based on hourly pay or salary. You might also be entitled to overtime rates, bonuses, sick days, vacation days, and lost working privileges. 

Pain and suffering

If your injury has caused you mental anguish and physical pain, you know that money will not change the past. At our law firm, a resourceful attorney can fight for the pain and suffering damages you need to improve your life.
