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.

Hamden is one of thirteen towns Connecticut law assigns to the New Haven Judicial District, so a Hamden resident's injury lawsuit can be filed at the Superior Court at 235 Church Street in New Haven, a few blocks from our office. 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.

Common questions

What to know in Hamden

General information only. Deadlines, venue, and recovery depend on the facts of a specific case.

Where would my Hamden personal injury case be heard?

Connecticut generally sets the court for an injury lawsuit by where the people in the case live. Hamden is part of the New Haven Judicial District, so if you live in Hamden, your case can be filed at the Superior Court at 235 Church Street in New Haven, a few blocks from our office. If the other side lives in a different district, that court may be an option too, and we will help you choose.

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

Most Connecticut negligence injury lawsuits must be brought within two years from when the injury is first sustained or discovered, or reasonably should have been discovered, and generally no later than three years from the act or omission that caused it. Some claims have shorter notice requirements, so it is safest to speak with an attorney early.

Do I need a lawyer located in Hamden, or can I hire a New Haven firm?

Either works. A Hamden resident's injury case can be filed at the New Haven courthouse on Church Street, a few blocks from our office, and our office is minutes from the Hamden line.
