About this practice area

Protecting the rights of personal injury victims

Even injuries that seem minor at first can raise questions about medical bills, missed work, insurance, and fault. Before you assume there is nothing to pursue, we can help you understand whether the accident may support a claim.

At the LoRicco Law Firm, we represent people who suffer serious injuries in New Haven accidents. If you are dealing with medical bills, lost time at work, and continuing pain, we are dedicated to helping you recover the maximum compensation for everything you have lost.

Our firm has served clients throughout the New Haven area and the Connecticut Shoreline since 1956. We represent people who are injured in auto accidents, slip-and-falls, work-related accidents, and other types of accidents.

The injury cases we handle

The following pages explain how we approach each category of injury case:

  • Catastrophic injury. When a person suffers permanent injuries, it causes hardship and heartache for the whole family.
  • Brain injury. Many people miss symptoms of brain injury after an accident, attributing the effects to other causes such as medication.
  • Back injury. Some back injuries result in lasting disability.
  • Bone fractures. A bone fracture is a serious injury that can affect your mobility and other areas of your life.
  • Severe burns. Few injuries are as painful or traumatic to the victim as a serious burn.
  • Fatal accidents. When an accident claims the life of a loved one, the family deserves answers and compensation.

Common questions

What to know in Connecticut

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

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Connecticut?

In Connecticut, most negligence-based personal injury claims must be filed within two years from when the injury is first sustained or discovered.

Source: Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584

What if I was partly at fault for my injury?

Connecticut comparative negligence rules can reduce or bar recovery based on the injured person's share of fault, so responsibility should be evaluated carefully before accepting blame.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

If you have pain, medical treatment, missed work, bills, or uncertainty about what happened, it is worth speaking with a lawyer. A personal injury claim usually depends on the facts, the injuries, available insurance, and whether someone else's conduct caused the harm.

What should I do first after a serious injury?

Get medical care, document what happened, preserve photos and records, avoid broad insurance releases, and speak with a lawyer before giving a recorded statement or settling the claim.

What damages can a Connecticut personal injury claim include?

Depending on the facts, damages may include medical bills, future treatment, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent impairment, and other losses connected to the injury.

Do I need to come to the office for a consultation?

Not always. The firm offers free consultations and can arrange evening, weekend, home, or hospital visits when a serious injury makes travel difficult.

What kinds of serious injury cases does the firm focus on?

The firm regularly handles injury cases involving medical bills, lost work, continuing pain, permanent injury, or death. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, a consultation can help sort that out.
