At Sheffy, DeNigris, Grey & Bedard, LLP, in Southington, we serve motor vehicle accident survivors from Hartford to Waterbury. We bring more than 25 years of personal injury experience to your case and extensive insurance defense experience. Not only do we know how to maximize your compensation, but we also have inside knowledge of the tactics insurers will use to minimize your payout, and we know how to counter their aggressive defense.
Knowing what to do after a car accident in Connecticut is half the battle:
- Call police immediately.
- If you are able, check to see if anyone else is injured.
- If possible, get your car off the road.
- Get insurance information from other drivers.
- Get names, addresses and phone numbers of drivers and witnesses.
- Note makes, models and license plate numbers of other vehicles.
- Take photographs — vehicles, license plates, drivers, witnesses, the whole scene.
