Cheshire Automobile Accidents Lawyer

Every year, thousands of people are injured or killed in motor vehicle accidents in the United States. In Connecticut alone, 277 people died in fatal car crashes in 2007 according to a recent study by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA).

What Is the Law in Connecticut on Motor Vehicle Accident Cases?

Connecticut law provides that if the operator of a motor vehicle, such as an automobile, truck, bus or motorcycle, was negligent in the operation of his motor vehicle and his negligent operation causes another person to sustain injuries, the injured is entitled to bring a claim against the owner and operator of the motor vehicle for all of the injuries, damages and losses that he sustained in the accident.

What Should I Do if I Am Involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident?

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, you should obtain advice from an experienced motor vehicle accident attorney as soon as possible such as Cheshire automobile accident Attorney Michael Foley, in order to ensure that your rights are protected. Many times, an insurance company will contact a motor vehicle victim and attempt to negotiate a settlement with the victim before the person has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney about their case. If this is your first time dealing with a motor vehicle accident, you will not know how much compensation you may be entitled to. Therefore, it is very important that you speak with an experienced automobile accident attorney as soon as possible in order to discuss your case so that you aren’t left with only a fraction of what you would have received otherwise. 

Cheshire automobile accident attorney Michael Foley has handled hundreds of motor vehicle accident cases for his clients including the following:

• Automobile accidents
• Uninsured/Underinsured motorist claims
• Motorcycle accidents

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, Attorney Michael Foley of Cheshire can help you with your claim just as he helped the widow of a motorcyclist who was killed when another operator made an improper left hand turn, which resulted in a settlement of $850,000.00 and the two British nannies who sustained neck and back injuries when their car was rear-ended which resulted in a verdict of $125,000.00.
