Three Common Products That May Present Personal Injury Risk
by AdminAugust 21st, 2023
When you go to the store or shop online you should have a reasonable expectation that the products you buy have been tested and follow certain safety guidelines. You likely expect that you will be able to use or consume these products without the danger of becoming injured and having to file a New Haven personal injury claim. That would be a reasonable expectation, but unfortunately that is not always the reality that we are faced with when we bring these products into our homes. The vast majority of products that you purchase will present no problems to you, but there are situations where products are either defective or did not pass safety inspections and somehow make it on to store shelves anyway. In these cases you could be using a product that you maintain a reasonable level of confidence in and they could become dangerous very quickly. While there Read the full article…
Impaired Driver Takes Pedestrian’s Life
by AdminAugust 18th, 2023
An incident occurred on the Stratford/Bridgeport lines that involved an impaired driver who struck a pedestrian in broad daylight. After the incident, the pedestrian was killed and the family had to be notified while the driver was taken into custody and charged with a number of violations including driving while impaired.

While incidents like the one described in Bridgeport can happen Read the full article…
Work Zone Cameras Are Slowing Drivers Down
by AdminAugust 13th, 2023
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) started a pilot program back in April that is aiming to slow drivers down as they pass through construction work zones. The program has cameras that are mounted on SUVs at the work sites and if a driver is caught by the camera speeding they are mailed a warning and then if it happens again a citation is sent out to the driver of that vehicle. Safety experts suggest that a program like this is not designed to “catch” people in the act or as a gotcha moment, but rather to encourage slower speeds in work zones where many accidents occur and as is the case with most accidents the faster a car is moving, the deadlier the accident may be. The pilot program does not include any work zones in our area, so there will be limited impact on any New Haven auto Read the full article…
