Motorcycle Accidents

Your Legal Rights After a Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle accidents often result in very severe injuries. Furthermore, claiming financial compensation after a motorcycle accident is often difficult. This is due to the almost universal tendency of the other driver to claim that the accident was the fault of the motorcycle rider.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important to seek legal help from knowledgeable personal injury attorneys as soon as possible. Without assistance from attorneys who understand how the injury legal system operates — and who have advanced experience negotiating fair settlements on behalf of injury victims — you run the risk of accepting a settlement that does not fairly compensate you for your injuries.

At the law firm of Kennedy, Johnson, D'Elia, & Gillooly, L.L.C., our attorneys provide aggressive legal representation for people injured in motorcycle accidents. From our offices in New Haven, our personal injury lawyers represent injured people throughout the state of Connecticut.

Practical Advice Combined With Aggressive Advocacy

At Kennedy, Johnson, D'Elia, & Gillooly, L.L.C., we are known throughout the legal community as aggressive attorneys who use all our legal skills to build a strong case on behalf of each client we represent.

At the same time, our clients are thankful for the practical and clear-headed advice we provide as their cases progress. Because we begin each attorney-client relationship with a thorough investigation of every aspect of the case, we are always able to provide thoughtful and honest advice to our clients. Is now the time to accept a settlement? Should we push forward toward a trial because the amount being offered is still too low? These are questions we return to again and again through the course of litigation — always making sure our clients understand their full range of options and the pros and cons of choosing each path.
