Personal Injury FAQ

Lawyers Helping Accident Victims

At D'Amico, Griffin and Pettinicchi, LLC, we provide representation to people all over Connecticut who have been injured in an accident. Many of our clients are seeking legal representation for the first time in their lives, and many are unfamiliar with the legal process.

If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident, we can provide you with experienced legal representation. Contact our Watertown, Connecticut law office at 866-751-5691 for a free consultation.

Here are answers to some of the most common questions our clients ask:

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means, if we don't recover compensation on your behalf, you owe us nothing in attorney's fees.

What will happen in the free consultation?

When you call our law firm to schedule a free consultation, you will meet directly with one of our personal injury lawyers. In this consultation, we will talk to you about your case and explain your options for recovering compensation.

What is my case worth?

The amount of money your case is worth is dependent on a number of factors:

  • The cause of the accident
  • The type and extent of injuries sustained
  • Medical costs
  • Projected long-term medical or rehabilitative costs
  • Wages lost when unable to work

However, there is no guaranteed amount that you will receive. The success of your case relies largely on the skills and experience of the lawyer you choose to represent you. At D'Amico, Griffin and Pettinicchi, LLC, our goal is to seek maximum compensation on your behalf.

Do I have to go to court?

It depends. Our lawyers will pursue your case aggressively outside of court, negotiating with insurance companies to seek maximum compensation. However, we are experience litigators, confidently pursuing our clients' interests in court if the insurance company is unwilling to negotiate.

Why do I need a lawyer? Why can't I do this myself?

You certainly can represent yourself, but you may be settling for significantly less than what your case is worth. Insurance companies are out to make a profit.

If you want to seek maximum compensation, your best approach is to seek legal representation. Our lawyers have years of experience representing people affected by a personal injury. We apply our experience and knowledge to seek those results for every client we represent.

Find out why it's important to hire an attorney as quickly as possible.
