New Milford Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Litchfield and Fairfield Counties
When you are seriously injured through someone else’s wrongful or negligent actions, the consequences can be overwhelming. The prospect of navigating the world of insurance claims and lawsuits on your own can be very intimidating and confusing. Insurance companies work very hard to try and discourage you from even bringing a claim, or at least try to force you to “settle quick,” for much less than your case is worth. Rather than go it alone and battle for fair compensation after an accident, find skilled New Milford personal injury lawyers who can take the burden of fighting with the insurance company off of you, so you can focus on recovering and getting your life back to normal.
At McCarthy & Taylor, LLP, we pride ourselves on being very responsive to our clients’ needs. We do not mass advertise and we do not work on a volume basis. Our goal is not to turn over cases as quickly as possible. We try to be selective on what cases we take and spend as much time as needed to ensure that our clients receive the maximum allowable recovery under the law.
Personal injury claims can take many forms.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer represents individuals who have been injured physically, emotionally, or mentally as a result of someone else's negligence or intentional actions. If you have found yourself in this sort of situation, hiring an attorney can help you work towards acquiring the compensation you deserve. Here are some of the responsibilities and tasks that a personal injury lawyer typically handles:
Legal Consultation: If you think you might have a personal injury case, you’ll be able to schedule a consultation with our firm. We’ll evaluate your situation, review relevant documents and evidence, and give you an idea of what your options will be if you choose to proceed. If you choose to work with us, we can provide experienced advice throughout the process. Working with an experienced professional can provide significant peace of mind during an already difficult time.
Case Investigation: Proving a personal injury requires you to build a strong case. We’ll do all the hard work, including interviewing witnesses, collecting medical records and accident reports, and documenting any other evidence that can support your claim.
Negotiation: It’s important to remember that insurance companies do not always have your best interests at heart. Our personal injury lawyers are experienced negotiators who will work tirelessly to achieve a fair settlement on your behalf. We will communicate with your insurance company or opposing parties to reach a resolution that fairly compensates you for your injuries. If necessary, we can represent your interests in court.
Paperwork: As with any legal process, personal injury cases require a significant amount of documentation and paperwork. Our personal injury lawyers can handle all the necessary legal paperwork associated with your claim. We will make sure that all paperwork is accurate, complete, and submitted within the required deadlines. This allows you to focus on other things.
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s actions or negligence, you’ll need to work with an experienced personal injury lawyer to get the compensation you deserve. Let the team at McCarthy and Taylor LLP help! We’ve worked with clients from throughout the New Milford, CT area.
Benefits of Hiring Personal Injury Lawyers
Legal Knowledge & Resources: Whether you were hit by a car, bitten by a dog, or have been involved in another accident, it is essential to hire experienced personal injury lawyers. Personal injury lawyers understand the law and will know the best way to handle your case to ensure you receive the settlement you deserve.
Negotiation Skills: When insurance companies are involved, they will try to offer you a lower amount of compensation than you deserve and are very persuasive. When you hire personal injury lawyers, they will deal with the insurance companies for you and get you higher compensation due to their impeccable negotiation skills.
Faster Compensation: If you have been injured by the negligence of someone else and are trying to fight your case on your own, you could have to wait months or, in some cases, years to get your settlement. Personal injury lawyers will ensure all the proper paperwork is filed and evidence is collected, resolving your case as quickly as possible.
Peace of Mind: Know that your personal injury lawyers will handle your case while you spend the much-needed time recovering. When you are involved in an accident, you worry about getting better, and our personal injury lawyers at McCarthy & Taylor, LLP will get you the compensation you deserve.
