Hamden Car Accident Attorneys
How to Recover Damages After a Car Crash
Car accidents are a leading cause of serious injury and death in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that more than 2.3 million people were injured and 32,367 people died in car crashes in 2011. In Connecticut alone, 270 people died in motor vehicle accidents in 2011.
When a crash is caused by another driver, victims can pursue compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. At Goldblatt, Marquette & Rashba, P.C., our Hamden car accident lawyers have been helping Connecticut families rebuild their lives for over 60 years.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Connecticut
Following a car accident, your first concern should always be your safety and the safety of others involved. If possible, move your vehicle out of traffic and call 911. The police will come to the scene to investigate the accident and write an accident report. Exchange insurance information with the other driver and gather evidence from the scene. You will need to take photos of the accident, the damage to the vehicles, and any visible injuries.
It is important to get medical attention even if you do not think you were seriously injured. Many car accident injuries, such as whiplash and traumatic brain injuries, do not produce immediate symptoms. If you do not seek medical attention, the insurance company will argue that you were not injured in the accident.
