    Certain injuries can alter lives forever. Brain injuries, spinal cord damage, wrongful deaths—these are the types of cases Claggett, Sykes & Garza handle, because we are Connecticut’s go-to injury firm. While we can’t bring a loved one back, we can seek justice and provide closure for those suffering. Our goal is to offer hope and a path forward.

    Spinal injuries can cause partial or full paralysis. Any damage affecting the spine or vertebrae is considered a spinal injury.

    Pa photo 1 1 Burn Injuries

    Over 400,000 burn injuries occur each year, most of which are preventable. Burns can result from heat, flame, chemicals, radiation, or electricity.

    Understanding Compensation with a Connecticut Personal Injury Lawyer

    Common Losses in Cases

    Every personal injury case revolves around physical harm requiring medical attention. At Claggett, Sykes & Garza, we present relevant medical records and bills to demonstrate your injuries during trials or settlements.

    Beyond medical costs, we seek compensation for lost income due to inability to work. Our Hartford-based attorneys aim for full compensation, covering immediate medical expenses and the overall impact on your quality of life. We ensure your suffering and financial strain are fully recognized and compensated.

    We’ll Handle the Insurance Company for You

    Accident injuries can range from minor to severe. If you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, working with an experienced lawyer is crucial. At Claggett, Sykes & Garza, we understand a wide variety of injuries and know how to work with medical professionals to secure the compensation you need.

    How Long You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Connecticut

    It’s essential to focus on your recovery after an injury, but starting your personal injury claim early is equally important to protect your rights. Connecticut’s statutes of limitation vary and can be as short as one year from the date of injury. Missing these deadlines means losing your right to compensation. Our team will ensure your suit is filed on time if you contact us soon after your injury.

    Financial pressures can make hiring an attorney daunting. Our no-win, no-fee policy means you don’t pay upfront for our services. We are paid a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you, and there is no charge for us to review your case. If we don’t win, you owe us nothing. This policy removes financial barriers, allowing you to access high-quality legal representation.

    This is great firm Alexa worked with me and explained terms as well as answers any questions I had honestly and quick response time. This is a caring firm that wants their clients to get well and be informed. I knew they were different when I received this book. And I haven’t read a book in a while so when a book of gratitude came in I instantly read a page a day. It’s a great reminder to help me stay grounded being grateful

    I had an excellent experience with this law firm. Being involved in a car accident with a severe injury was frightening, especially since I had no idea how the legal process worked. However, my attorney and paralegal made me feel completely at ease, explaining everything clearly and ensuring my voice was heard and valued. I truly don't know how I would have navigated this without Attorney Fitzsimmons and Katelynn. These past two years have been a challenge, but I’m grateful the journey is finally coming to an end.

    My case is still in progress but I feel I'm in good hands with this dedicated group of attorneys. I've enjoyed working with Attny Melissa Mateuse while setting up my case and have recently been moved to a litigation specialist, Attny. Andrew Ranks.
