GET COMPENSATION FOR ACCIDENT INJURIES FROM A WRONG-WAY DRIVER COLLISION

Drivers who cause New Haven auto accidents by driving the wrong way on any road or highway at any speed cause terrifying situations and few options to other people on the road. At highway speed, such accidents usually cause critical or fatal injuries. If you or a family member was victimized by a driver who drove the wrong way and caused crash damages and injuries, you should speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer whether or not the wrong-way driver faces criminal charges.

At the LoRicco Law Firm, we can help you maximize the compensation you and your family deserve for past, present and future damages and injuries caused by the negligent driver. Our lawyers will launch a comprehensive investigation to establish the other driver was driving in the wrong direction, endangering victims’ lives. We will discover how and why the person made such a terrible error, and we will collaborate with medical, economic and accident reconstruction experts, as necessary, to detail costs of major injuries and damages or to determine appropriate damages in a wrongful death lawsuit.

When you work with our firm, we treat you like family, and we work with your whole family to determine the hardships you face as consequences of the devastating crash.

EXPERIENCED REPRESENTATION FOR CATASTROPHIC CAR ACCIDENTS

Our Connecticut personal injury attorneys have handled thousands of motor vehicle accident cases. We have experience examining the wreckage and clues at the scene to determine what happened under any type of wrong-way driver accident scenario, including:

• Driving the wrong direction on a one-way city street
• Driving down the freeway in the wrong lanes
• Driving in the oncoming lane on a two-way highway
• Intentionally playing chicken with innocent motorists
• Victims leaving the roadway to avoid the wrong-way vehicle

We know what specific questions to ask and evidence to seek such as:

• Was the driver drunk or on drugs?
• Was there a construction detour or confusing road sign?
• How far did the vehicle travel in the wrong direction before the fateful collision?
• Did the driver continue despite others honking, flashing their lights and swerving?
• Did others call 911 to report an errant driver?

Wrong-way accidents are most common — and most deadly — on the interstate where drivers may be confused by on-ramps or interchanges. We have handled car accidents cases on interstates I-95, I-84, I-91 and I-691 in New Haven, Fairfield, Waterbury and surrounding Connecticut Shoreline towns.

COMMITTED TO YOUR FAMILY’S FULL COMPENSATION

We pursue all sources of insurance coverage — the other driver’s policy, the victim’s own policy and the liability of third parties when applicable — to maximize compensation for clients. When the injuries are severe, every available dollar will be needed to cover medical bills, lost income and future care needs.

We are glad to arrange a home or hospital meeting to visit with you and your family at your convenience. Contact our firm today to schedule your free consultation.
