Multi-Million Dollar Motor Vehicle & Trucking Accident Recoveries
While standard Connecticut car accidents involve private motorists and local traffic laws, collisions involving commercial semi-trucks, delivery fleets, and tractor-trailers introduce complex corporate liability and federally mandated insurance policies. Our legal team handles both types of motor vehicle claims; our car accident attorneys focus on proving negligent or distracted driving in passenger vehicle crashes, while our truck accident litigation team excels at navigating regulations to uncover trucking company negligence and improper fleet maintenance. Regardless of the vehicle type, we fight to secure comprehensive compensation for victims suffering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord damage, and permanent orthopedic trauma resulting from severe vehicle crashes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Case Results
Understanding the legal process behind a major personal injury lawsuit or a medical malpractice claim in Connecticut can help you make informed decisions about your family’s future. Below, our experienced New Haven personal injury attorneys answer common questions regarding litigation timelines, average settlement values, and how our past multi-million dollar results demonstrate our firm’s capability to take complex civil cases all the way to a jury trial.
How long has Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, P.C. practiced personal injury law in CT?
Our firm was founded in 1988, and for four decades, we have concentrated exclusively on protecting the rights of seriously injured individuals and grieving families across Connecticut. Based in New Haven, our attorneys are consistently recognized by prestigious peer-review organizations, including multiple Best Lawyers in America© “Lawyer of the Year” honors in Plaintiffs Personal Injury Litigation and Plaintiffs Medical Malpractice Litigation. Our decades of localized litigation experience make us a trusted firm for complex, high-value injury referrals throughout the state.
What types of medical malpractice cases do your Connecticut attorneys handle?
Our legal team has extensive experience litigating highly complex healthcare negligence lawsuits across Connecticut. Our top medical malpractice results include a $17 Million settlement for hospital malpractice resulting in a stillborn child, a $12.5 Million wrongful death verdict against Stamford Hospital, and a $5 Million recovery for a fatal brain injury caused by a neurosurgeon’s surgical error. We aggressively pursue cases involving delayed diagnosis of strokes, failure to monitor post-operative vital signs, emergency room errors, and psychiatric malpractice.
What is the largest medical malpractice settlement won by your firm?
Our firm secured a $17 Million settlement in a hospital malpractice case involving a stillborn child, as well as a $12.5 Million wrongful death verdict against Stamford Hospital.
Does Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge handle catastrophic workplace injuries?
Yes. Our top workplace injury results include a $10.2 Million recovery for a factory worker who suffered an amputation, and multiple wrongful death settlements ranging from $8.5 Million to $8.75 Million.
Can I file a third-party personal injury lawsuit for a workplace or construction accident?
Yes. While workers’ compensation covers standard medical bills and a portion of lost wages, it rarely compensates for pain, suffering, or total life disruption. If a third party, such as a negligent subcontractor, property owner, or defective machinery manufacturer, caused your workplace accident, you can file a separate personal injury claim. Our firm excels in these complex multi-party lawsuits; our top results include a $10.2 Million verdict for a factory worker who suffered a traumatic hand amputation, and multiple wrongful death workplace accident settlements valued at $8.75 Million and $8.5 Million.
Do your personal injury lawyers settle cases out of court, or do you go to trial?
While many personal injury and medical negligence claims are successfully resolved through strategic out-of-court settlements, our firm prepares every single case as if it is heading directly to a jury trial. We believe thorough trial preparation is the key to forcing insurance corporations and hospitals to offer maximum settlement values. Our courtroom track record speaks for itself, featuring major civil jury verdicts in Connecticut courts, including a $12.5 Million medical malpractice verdict and a $10.2 Million workplace injury verdict.
