Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents usually occur because of negligence. The Courts usually view the less careful person in the accident as being responsible and liable for another person's injuries. The negligent driver must pay for some or all of the injuries and damages suffered by the more careful driver. Motorcycle accidents have their own specific issues to consider, including the following:

• Traffic laws
• Registration laws
• Medical expenses
• Who is at fault
• Insurance or underinsurance issues

Specializing in all forms of personal injury, including injuries sustained as a result of a motorcycle accident, the attorneys at Miller, Rosnick, D'Amico, August & Butler, P.C. can help build a strong case to protect your interests.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful act can be the result of negligence, such as careless driving. It can also be the result of a drunk driver, recklessness, or even deliberate criminal behavior, such as murder. Even if a wrongful act has been prosecuted in a criminal case, it can also be tried as a private wrongful death suit.

If a close relative was injured and died as a result of a wrongful act, you can recover for lost financial and emotional support in accordance with Connecticut state statutes.

You need the experience of Miller, Rosnick, D'Amico, August & Butler, P.C. We take the time to examine all details of the case, and can maximize your total recovery, handling the case in an honest and professional manner.

Catastrophic Injuries

A catastrophic injury is typically a traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury, often resulting from automobile accidents, falls, sports accents, or violent acts. Even if you are partially to blame for an injury, Connecticut’s comparative negligence and contributory negligence laws may allow you to recover a portion of the associated expenses.

The attorneys at Miller, Rosnick, D'Amico, August & Butler, P.C. have a strong track record in recovering damages for catastrophic injuries. We know the details of the Connecticut state laws and can even help you file an effective workers’ compensation claim in the event that the injury occurred at work.

Slip-and-Fall Accidents

Technically, a slip-and-fall accident occurs when the interface of the victim’s shoe and the floor fails, for whatever reason. The damages are similar to those for any personal injury accident; however, the defendant may have the benefit of a powerful insurance company, because the claim is presented to the property owner's property insurance coverage. 

In a slip-and-fall injury lawsuit, both the property owner and the victim can be held fully or partially liable for the accident. While the owner has a duty to keep the property safe, the victim is also seen as having a duty to exercise a reasonable degree of care. Examples of slip-and-fall accidents include the following:

• Slipping on a wet grocery store floor that was not cleaned or protected after a spill
• Tripping on a loose rug in a public facility
• Falling down an unmarked step in a dark restaurant
• Slipping on black ice in a parking lot or at the entrance of a store

If you injure yourself as the result of an unsafe condition in a public place or on private property, you can count on the attorneys at Miller, Rosnick, D'Amico, August & Butler, P.C. to make sure your case is handled fairly. Their extensive knowledge of comparative fault laws will ensure that you do not accept less than the rightful and legal amount of liability and that you recover all appropriate losses from the incident.

Dog Bite Injuries

Every year, an estimated 4.7 million people suffer dog bites in the United States. A large percentage of those dog bites require medical attention, and some are actually fatal. Connecticut is a strict liability state in dog bite law. This means that dog owners are generally considered liable for any injuries caused by their dogs provided that the injured person was not tormenting or teasing the dog and was not trespassing.

Even in a strict liability state, however, there are a number of circumstances when liability can fall to the victim. The attorneys at Miller, Rosnick, D'Amico, August & Butler, P.C. know the details of Connecticut’s specific dog bite laws and will fight to recover all damages that are legally due to you.

Construction Site Injuries

The OSHA (Occupations Safety and Heath Administration) estimates that over 1,000 construction workers may suffer a work-related fatality this year. Many others will be injured in avoidable accidents. Construction site accidents can have a number of causes, including the following:

• Unsafe construction site maintenance
• Defective equipment
• Improperly maintained equipment
• Falling debris
• Defective scaffolding

Most injured workers can receive workers’ compensation benefits for medical costs and lost wages from their employers, but they may be unable to file a lawsuit against the employer. There are often other parties who may be responsible for the accident.

The attorneys at Miller, Rosnick, D'Amico, August & Butler, P.C. know how to unravel the often complex issues associated with construction site injuries to ensure that you are fairly compensated for all injuries you sustain.

Trucking Accidents

Trucking accidents account for a high percentage of fatal vehicle accidents. They are typically caused by a number of circumstances, including the following:

• Driver fatigue
• Jackknifing
• Rollovers
• Driver inexperience
• Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks.

Proving liability in trucking accidents is more complex than for automobile accidents. Even attorneys who specialize in truck accidents need additional resources to prove trucking accident liability in trucking accidents. Experts are needed to help with the following aspects of the case:

• Reconstructing the scene of the accident
