Personal Injury Lawyer in New Haven | Dehghani & Associates
Personal injury or tort law allows injured people to use the civil court system to pursue a legal remedy or damages for their losses. Personal injury claims can result from many circumstances, including car accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, assault, or any case in which someone else’s negligence or intentional actions cause injury.
At Dehghani & Associates, we represent accident victims in Connecticut with compassionate and tireless legal representation. If you have been seriously injured due to someone else’s negligence or reckless behavior, an experienced New Haven personal injury lawyer can help you hold the responsible party accountable and seek financial compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
Car Accidents
Traffic accidents are the number one cause of accidental death in Connecticut and most are caused by negligent and reckless drivers. If you have been seriously injured in a car accident and the other driver was at fault, you have the right to seek compensation for your damages. Dehghani & Associates represents car accident victims throughout Connecticut. We will serve as your advocate while negotiating with the insurance company to reach a fair settlement that fully compensates you for your current and future medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, disfigurement, and other damages.
Pedestrian Accidents
Traffic accidents involving a pedestrian are very likely to result in serious injury or fatality. If you were injured as a pedestrian in an accident caused by a driver, you have the right to file a personal injury claim against the driver and the driver’s insurance carrier for your damages.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents are among the most serious crashes on Connecticut roads as motorcyclists have no protection in the event of a collision. While motorcyclists can be at fault for an accident, other drivers can be liable for damages when they change lanes in front of a motorcyclist, turn in an intersection in front of a motorcycle, drive too fast, or misjudge the motorcycle’s speed.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Also known as premises liability cases, slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere and lead to very serious and even fatal injuries. At Dehghani & Associates, we represent slip and fall victims who have suffered serious injuries due to defective or dangerous property conditions like poor lighting, slippery walkways, broken handrails, and crumbling parking lots.
Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home neglect and abuse is a shockingly common problem across the United States. According to one major study, about 44% of nursing home residents have been abused and 95% have been neglected in some way. If you or someone you love has suffered physical, emotional, financial, or sexual abuse in a nursing home, a nursing home abuse attorney in Connecticut can help you hold the nursing home accountable.
Dog Bites
More than 1,000 people are treated in emergency rooms every day for serious dog bites. Most dog bite victims are children, although anyone can suffer the painful and serious injuries associated with a dog bite, including fractures, facial trauma and disfiguration, infection, physical rehabilitation, reconstructive surgery, and psychological trauma. Connecticut law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries their dog causes with no defense as long as the dog was not provoked and the victim was not a trespasser — unless the victim was under seven, in which case there is a legal presumption the child could not have trespassed or provoked the animal.
