When you live, work or play in Middletown, CT, you encounter negligent drivers, poorly maintained properties, and other unexpected risks. If an unexpected hazard injures you, it can change your life. Serious or catastrophic injuries can leave you dealing with lost income, high medical bills, pain, and disabilities.
Our Middletown personal injury lawyers believe you deserve fair compensation when a negligent person harms you. Responsible parties and their insurance companies don’t always do the right thing without legal pressure. That’s why Baber Law Firm is committed to making people pay for the damage they cause. We handle our clients’ claims while they focus on rebuilding their lives.
How Our Team Fights for You
Our legal team, led by Attorney Nate Baber, works hard for our injured clients. We handle the entire claims process, including:
- Independent Investigation: We start with your account of the accident, then conduct an independent investigation. This may involve getting police reports, speaking with witnesses, consulting with experts, and evaluating all available evidence.
- Contact Negligent Parties: We identify every party responsible for your injuries and put them on notice of your pending claims. We then deal directly with their insurance carriers or claims administrators.
- Evaluate and Negotiate: We evaluate your injuries by reviewing medical reports and considering how your injuries affect your life. When appropriate, we present a demand for settlement to the insurance company. When insurers negotiate fairly, we often settle cases without filing suit.
- File a Lawsuit: If we can’t reach a fair settlement, we may recommend filing a lawsuit. We may also propose litigation if the statute of limitations is about to expire or the insurer denies liability.
We handle all injury claims on a contingency basis. You won’t pay any expenses, and you owe legal fees only after we recover compensation for you..

How Connecticut Law Applies to Injury Claims
In Connecticut, two primary legal concepts can affect your case outcome:
- Statute of Limitations: In most instances, you have two years after your injury to settle your claim or file a lawsuit. If you miss your deadline, you lose your right to recover compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys protect your statute of limitations by settling your claim or filing timely court documents.
- Modified Comparative Negligence: Connecticut law acknowledges that more than one person can be responsible for an accident. If you are 50% or less at fault, you can recover a reduced settlement based on a percentage of your damages.
