Connecticut Car Accident Attorney

Dealing with the aftermath of a serious car accident can be extremely stressful, especially if you have sustained serious injuries and are unable to pay medical bills. Having an experienced attorney on your side to fight for fair compensation will let you focus on what matters, your recovery.

Connecticut highways are especially prone to car accidents because of overcrowded roadways. In 2017, Interstate 95 in Connecticut was ranked the fifth most dangerous interstate in the country by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Another report, published by GeoTab, names I-95 in Connecticut as the #19 most dangerous highway in the U.S. for the most crashes as well as the most fatal crashes. The Merritt Parkway is equally dangerous with sharp bends and dim lighting.

This is because Connecticut is well-known for speeding, construction, and distracted drivers. Moore Kuehn has handled many car accident cases on I-95, especially in the Bridgeport and Stamford area, from high speed crashes with commercial tractor trailers to a fender bender parked in an emergency lane. Our attorneys are experts in commercial trucking regulations and other laws regulating Connecticut highways.

Other dangerous roads in Bridgeport, CT include Madison Ave. with 118 in accidents in 2018; Route 127 with 164 accidents in 2018; Main Street with 286 accidents in 2018; and U.S. Route with 437 accidents in 2018.

Arbitration may also be possible for car accident cases.  This can dramatically expedite the resolution of a car accident case when less serious injuries are at stake.  Pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 52-549u et, car accidents with an estimated value of less than $50,000 are eligible for arbitration. https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_922b.htm  Arbitration has to be decided within 120 days of the completion of the hearing.  Either party can appeal the arbitration decision within 20 days.
