Slip and Fall Accidents

If you sustain an injury while a guest in someone’s home or as a customer at a store or business, you can bring a premises liability claim against the owner of the property for the injuries that you sustained in the accident. Many different types of accidents can occur on someone else’s property, including slip and falls on ice during the winter months or slip and falls as the result of spills inside a store. Attorney Foley is an experienced personal injury lawyer who has been handling slip and fall accidents for clients in Cheshire and throughout Connecticut for over 37 years. These types of claims can be very difficult to prove because under Connecticut law, you must show that the responsible party knew or should have known of the defective condition that caused you to fall. Attorney Foley works with an engineer who will inspect the accident site in order to make a determination whether or not the property owner is responsible for the accident. If liability against the property owner can be established at the onset of the case, it is helpful in obtaining a favorable settlement for victims who are injured due to defective premises.

Medical Malpractice

A recent study by John Hopkins University suggests that medical errors are the third leading cause of deaths in the United States, with more than 250,000 deaths per year over the course of the study. Thousands of other people sustain serious injuries every year due to the malpractice of a doctor, nurse or a hospital. In order to institute a medical malpractice lawsuit in Connecticut, you need to obtain a Good Faith Certificate and written opinion from a similar health care provider that the doctor, nurse or hospital breached the applicable standard of care. In the event that you can establish that medical malpractice was committed in your case, the types of damages that you can recover would include any medical bills or lost wages that you have incurred and compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering due to the malpractice. If you believe that you have been the victim of medical malpractice, you should speak with a personal injury attorney in Connecticut. Please call Attorney Michael Foley and he can assist you with your case and answer any questions that you may have about your claim.

Workers’ Compensation

People who work in factories, warehouses or in construction face dangerous situations everyday that can cause them to sustain an injury at work. For example, an iron worker who falls off a beam during the course of construction is entitled to recover workers’ compensation benefits for any injuries that he sustained as a result of the fall. Other people who work in less dangerous fields, such as office workers, can also sustain work related injuries. An example of this type of claim would include an employee who parks her car in the company parking lot and slips and falls on ice as she is attempting to walk from her car to her office during the winter months. Attorney Michael Foley is an experienced Connecticut workers’ compensation lawyer and has helped thousands of people in Cheshire and throughout Connecticut obtain workers’ compensation benefits as a result of work related injuries. If you feel that you have sustained an injury at work and want to pursue a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, you should contact Attorney Michael Foley as soon as possible and he can assist you with your case.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents tend to be more serious than car accidents due to the sheer size and weight of the tractor trailer truck that is involved in the crash. A fully loaded eighteen-wheeler can weigh as much as 80,000 ponds and can do massive damage to people and property if it is involved in an accident. Attorney Michael Foley has handled numerous truck accidents for clients in Cheshire and throughout Connecticut who have sustained injuries as a result of the negligence of a truck driver. Attorney Michael Foley works with an accident reconstructionist who can determine the liability on the part of the truck driver or trucking company.
