Most Connecticut personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date. Because deadlines can vary based on case type, it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term impacts on your quality of life.

Even if an offer sounds reasonable, insurers often undervalue claims. A consultation with Collier & Manning Trial Lawyers can help you understand the real value of your case.

Your health and safety come first. Get medical attention, document the scene if possible, and contact a lawyer before speaking with any insurance company.

If a property owner failed to keep their walkway safe, you may have a claim under Connecticut’s premises liability laws.

You may have a malpractice claim if a doctor or hospital failed to meet accepted standards of care, resulting in injury. These cases require careful review by experienced attorneys.

There are no upfront costs or fees to you. We pay for all of the expenses for handling your case and we are reimbursed out of money we recover for you.

No! We work on a contingency fee basis which means if we don’t recover money for you, you do not owe us anything.

Many cases settle outside court, but we prepare every case for trial. This approach ensures our clients are ready for any outcome and often results in stronger settlements.

Right away! In some type of accidents, there are certain notice requirements that are mandated under Connecticut law. Additionally, in every case, we will want to ensure evidence, such as video/photographs or eye witnesses, are being preserved. 

Bring what you can—police reports, medical bills, or correspondence from insurers. If you’re unsure, we’ll guide you through what’s needed.

Each case is different. It depends on a number of factors such as the type of case; the insurance carrier, if one or more are involved; whether the case has to go into litigation; and the status of a client’s treatment. Our staff are here to guide you through the process and reach a resolution as quickly as we can. 

We take your personal injury case personally. At Collier & Manning, you are not another case on the shelf; your recovery from someone else’s negligence matters to us. That is why each client is assigned a team of paralegals that know who you are and works diligently to keep your case on track for success. When you hire us, your case will be handled by both Attorney Collier & Attorney Manning – that’s two experienced trial lawyers for your case!
