Hamden Personal Injury Attorney

Representing injured Hamden residents from our downtown New Haven office, a short drive down Whitney or Dixwell Avenue, since 1956.

Personal injury representation in Hamden

The LoRicco Law Firm has served Greater New Haven since 1956, and Hamden is next door. Our office on Crown Street in downtown New Haven is a short drive down Whitney Avenue or Dixwell Avenue from every Hamden neighborhood, from Spring Glen and Whitneyville to Mount Carmel and Highwood. We represent Hamden residents in auto accident, slip and fall, dog bite, and other serious injury cases.

Hamden's traffic runs heavy. Whitney Avenue, Dixwell Avenue, and State Street carry commuters into New Haven every morning, and the Wilbur Cross Parkway crosses town after emerging from the Heroes Tunnel at West Rock, the only highway tunnel through a natural land feature in New England. Crashes on these corridors, and on the local roads around Quinnipiac University and Hamden's shopping plazas, are a steady source of the injury cases we handle.

Injury lawsuits for Hamden residents are typically heard in the New Haven Judicial District courthouse at 235 Church Street, a few blocks from our office. Hamden is one of thirteen towns Connecticut law assigns to the district, and it is the courthouse where our attorneys have practiced for decades.

If you were hurt in Hamden, consultations are free. And if you cannot come to us, we come to you, including hospital visits.

How long do I have to file an injury claim after a Hamden accident?

In Connecticut, most negligence-based injury claims must be filed within two years from when the injury is first sustained or discovered. Some claims have shorter notice requirements, so it is safest to speak with an attorney early.
