What does “normalcy” mean after getting injured in an accident? It means freedom from pain and returning to the activities you enjoyed before the accident. 

But just as importantly, it means an end to bills and expenses that directly result from that accident. That description of normalcy is one that a New Haven personal injury law firm can assist with.

Financial recovery is often even more of a chore than recovering physically. Insurance companies are notoriously uncooperative when it comes to paying for expenses. A New Haven personal injury accident lawyer will speed up the process and possibly even get money for you that you didn’t know you were eligible for.

How a New Haven Personal Injury Lawyer Helps You After an Accident

Everything gets complicated after you have been injured in an accident. Medical appointments and dealing with insurance companies take up your free time. Income disappears due to your injury preventing you from working. And all of this increases your stress levels.

Your personal injury lawyer will step in and take the weight off your back. Lawyers have the authority to deal directly with insurance companies, giving you back some of your time. 

An experienced attorney can direct you to nearby doctors specializing in the injuries you suffered. And while an attorney can’t pay your bills, your law firm can delay bills until after you’ve received appropriate compensation for your injuries.

You Deserve Compensation for More than Just Your Medical Bills

If you’ve been injured in an accident that was the fault of another party, you expect that party to pay for your medical expenses. But medical expenses are just the tip of the iceberg. Depending on the circumstances, you may also be eligible for compensation for:

• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages
• Physical, mental, or occupational therapy
• Long-term care
• Damaged property, especially in car accidents
• Short-term assistance like housekeeping services

Insurance companies will often be quick to offer you compensation for immediate medical expenses to get you to surrender your rights to additional compensation. 

The lawyers at Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, LLC, won’t settle for the minimum. We are aggressive advocates that won’t back down until you receive every dollar you deserve.

Personal Injury Accident Lawyers with a Long Story of Success

At Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, LLC, we believe that success can be measured. It is measured in the number of satisfied clients who leave our offices and the amount of money those clients have received.

We are proud of the fact that we have helped hundreds of clients receive fair compensation over more than 30 years of serving clients in New Haven. Our clients have received millions of dollars in compensation from those cases. 

These results come from a mix of both settlements and trial victories. All of our success stories are public records, and we share them freely, so you can be confident that you are getting advocacy from attorneys you can trust.

Common Types of Personal Injury Cases

The term “personal injury” describes a variety of types of civil cases. The most common cases that our New Haven personal injury defense lawyers handle are:

• Wrongful death
• Car accidents
• Sexual assault or molestation
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace accidents
• Product liability
• Negligence

Regardless of the type of case, we have the legal knowledge to advocate for you. Our lawyers have decades of experience and the determination to do what it takes to get you money. The insurance companies know that we are willing to go to court when necessary, which often helps force them to offer our clients fair settlement offers.

Social Security Disability Insurance Advocates

For some injuries, getting compensation from the insurance companies isn’t enough. When an injury limits your ability to work for the rest of your life, you will need Social Security Disability Insurance as well. 

Our lawyers will help you apply, make sure you have all of the evidence you need to get approved, and file appeals for you if denied.

Furthermore, we maintain lists of resources that will help you in non-financial ways when you are facing a long-term disability. Tell your Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, LLC, lawyer what kind of assistance you need, and we’ll introduce you to a ton of resources that will help make your life easier.

Paying for a Personal Injury Lawyer from Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, LLC

One of the biggest concerns of potential New Haven clients is how they will pay for our services. Most clients are already drowning under medical bills and suffering from a loss of income. The thought of having to pay for the services of a lawyer terrifies them.

If you hold any of these same fears, let us put your mind at ease. All initial consultations at Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, LLC, are free. Additionally, we only take personal injury cases on contingency. This means we don’t get paid unless you get a favorable recovery — either from a trial or a settlement.

What about upfront expenses? Don’t worry. We pay them all. We will only recover these costs if you win money, and we never recover more than you received. We are confident enough in our ability to get you a fair recovery to pay these costs in advance.
