About this practice area
Insurance companies and New Haven car accident victims have divergent goals. You need compensation for your injuries that is just. The insurance company wants to settle your claim for as little as possible, and its representatives will fight to minimize your compensation.
Earlier in the firm's history, our attorneys represented insurance companies for 15 years. That experience now helps us understand how insurers evaluate, defend, and try to limit injury claims.
It is important to consult a qualified, proven law firm that is able to assert your rights and secure the maximum compensation you deserve. The New Haven auto accident attorneys at LoRicco Law Firm have advocated for victims and their families since 1956.
Each trial lawyer at the LoRicco Law Firm has at least 15 years of experience negotiating, settling and bringing cases to verdict. Let our experience work for you.

New Haven auto accidents and insurance companies: what should you do?
An insurance adjuster will try to contact you to obtain information or to settle your claim soon after the accident. Before dealing with any insurance company representative, you should speak with an experienced New Haven auto accident attorney. It is imperative you do not sign anything or agree to a recorded statement before speaking with a lawyer.
The insurance company does not work in your best interests. You have rights and obligations that we will explain and protect. Once you tell an adjuster you are represented by our firm, we will handle all communications with the insurance company going forward.
Do not wait to hire an attorney. The longer you wait, the more it benefits the insurance company. As an injured victim of a New Haven auto accident, you are entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and future medical care related to your injuries.
We will start working immediately to put your case in a position to maximize your recovery. Our lawyers will prepare your case for a jury trial from the beginning. Being prepared for jury trial is the best way to maximize the value of your recovery not only in negotiations, but also in the event negotiations break down and your best possible outcome must be achieved through trial.
We do not take shortcuts. Our legal work is thorough, and our representation is comprehensive. We have both the resources and the resolve to aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve.
