Providing Strong Legal Advocacy After A Motor Vehicle Accident
Car accidents injure or kill thousands of people in Connecticut every year. If you have been injured in a car accident due to another driver’s negligence, you likely have significant medical expenses, lost income, suffered property damage and endured other expenses.
In order to recover these damages, you will need to deal with the negligent driver’s insurance company. Insurance companies are represented by lawyers, adjusters and other individuals. Each of these people is dedicated to minimizing what the insurance company will pay in claims. If you want to be treated fairly by the insurance company, your best bet is to enlist the services of an experienced, knowledgeable lawyer.
The talented team at Moore, O'Brien & Dufour serves people in Middlebury and across Connecticut who have been injured in all types of automobile accidents.

Common Questions About Connecticut Car Accident Claims
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Connecticut?
You generally have a couple of years to bring a claim, but the exact window can shift depending on the details of your case — especially if a city or government vehicle was involved, which can shorten things considerably. The safest move is to reach out sooner rather than later so nothing slips past a deadline.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Being partially responsible doesn't automatically shut the door on compensation. It can affect how much you're able to recover, but plenty of people who share some blame still walk away with a fair result. Every case is different, so it's worth having someone look at the specifics.
What's the minimum car insurance required in Connecticut?
Connecticut drivers are required to carry liability coverage for injuries and property damage, along with protection in case the other driver doesn't have enough insurance of their own. The exact numbers can change, so if you're unsure what your policy actually covers, we're happy to walk through it with you.
What if the other driver is uninsured or doesn't have enough coverage?
This happens more often than people expect. In many cases, you can still turn to your own policy for help covering the gap — that's exactly why that coverage exists. We can help you figure out what options are actually available in your situation.
Do I have to go to trial to get fair compensation?
Not usually — most cases get resolved without ever stepping into a courtroom. That said, we don't settle just to settle. If an insurance company isn't offering what your case is truly worth, we're ready to fight for it, whether we're talking about a serious injury or a "minor" one that insurers love to lowball.
