Norwalk · Connecticut
Motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, dram shop liability, trucking accidents, wrongful death, brain injury and dog bites.
The firm is exclusively focused on people and families harmed by someone else’s negligence. It handles only personal injury and wrongful death claims — and only represents plaintiffs, never insurance companies.
John began his career defending insurance claims for large corporations, so he knows how insurers evaluate, reduce and deny claims — and he now uses that insight only for injured people.
You never have to worry about reaching your lawyer. John answers questions and talks through your concerns, and throughout the case you work directly with your attorney.
Our focus is motor vehicle accidents and dangerous property conditions — the cases where someone else’s carelessness changes your life.
Car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare and pedestrian crashes. We pursue the drivers and insurers responsible for your medical bills, lost income and pain.
Slip and falls, unsafe stairs, poor lighting, inadequate security and other hazards a property owner should have fixed or warned you about.
When a bar or restaurant serves someone who is visibly intoxicated and that person then causes a crash or injury, Connecticut law may hold the establishment responsible.
04Representing families who have lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing.
05Collisions with tractor-trailers and commercial vehicles, where several parties and insurers can be involved.
06Riders are exposed to serious injuries. We pursue the drivers who caused the crash.
07Crosswalk, parking-lot and roadway collisions where a driver failed to yield or pay attention.
08Traumatic brain injuries that change daily life — long-term care, lost income and recovery.
09Connecticut’s strict-liability dog bite law can hold an owner responsible for your injuries.
10Crashes involving Uber, Lyft and other rideshare drivers, where layered insurance policies can apply.
11Third-party and negligence claims after an injury on a construction site.
12When a provider’s departure from the standard of care causes serious harm.
13Brain injuries caused by a medical mistake, with negligent providers and hospitals held accountable.
14Harm from a missed or delayed diagnosis that should have been caught.
15When a patient was not told the real risks of a procedure before agreeing to it.

18Other serious injuries caused by someone else’s carelessness.

I started working with John in 2017 after I was injured in a car accident. John was determined and committed to helping me with my case. He was very responsive and made me comfortable throughout the process by keeping me well informed. I’m glad I chose John to represent me and I highly recommend him for your personal injury case.
I had never had any reason to hire a lawyer, but when a personal injury situation forced my hand, I felt I had to but was really nervous about doing so.

John clearly explained everything to me upfront, made me feel comfortable with the process, confident about my case, kept me well informed throughout the process, and the outcome was favorable.
