New Haven Personal Injury Lawyers
When you’re a victim of negligence in New Haven, the consequences can surprise you. Whether a car accident, defective product, or dog attack caused your injuries, a single incident can leave you with lengthy disabilities and unexpected financial losses. Of course, you expect the negligent party to compensate you. That sounds fair and reasonable, but it rarely happens unless a personal injury attorney is working to protect your legal rights.
Dedicated Representation for Injured Clients

At Baber Law Law Firm, our personal injury attorneys make that commitment to every New Haven client we serve. Our legal team investigates each case. We determine the responsible parties and place them on notice of our client’s legal rights. We intervene with insurance companies to recover compensation for our injured clients.
When you’re dealing with serious injuries, we understand that healing is your number one priority. Sadly, the road to recovery is often paved with unpaid medical bills and lost income. Disabilities can diminish your ability to earn a living or enjoy time with your family. If this happens to you, our personal injury attorneys can work on your behalf. While you take time to rest and heal, we can take steps to recover compensation to help get your life back on track.

Do I Have to File a Lawsuit to Recover Compensation?
You may have a legal right to sue, although most personal injury cases settle without litigation. When Baber Law Law Firm represents you, we investigate your case and evaluate the available evidence to determine liability for your injuries. We then recommend taking action to resolve your case in a manner that best suits your circumstances.
When appropriate, we present your evidence to negligent parties or their insurers and their legal representatives. We often settle personal injury claims, but only when an insurer responds fairly and negotiates in good faith. As we prepare our cases early in the claim-handling process, we’re ready to file a Connecticut Civil lawsuit if and when it’s necessary.
Should I File a Personal Injury Suit?
When you’re injured in a New Haven accident, the decision to file a civil suit is up to each client. Typically, our personal injury attorneys try to resolve claims through negotiation. We recommend litigation for cases under these circumstances:
- Your Statute of Limitations is near
- The responsible party’s insurer won’t negotiate fairly
- The responsible party’s insurer denied your claim
- For Wrongful Death cases
- Case-by-case circumstances
After we file a lawsuit, we continue our attempt to resolve our clients’ cases. Ongoing settlement efforts may involve, informal negotiation, settlement conferences, or court-administered Alternative Dispute Resolution.

What Do I Need to Prove Liability For a Personal Injury Accident?
We hold people responsible by meeting Connecticut’s “preponderance of evidence” standard. This means that a substantial amount of the evidence presented must confirm the responsible party’s negligence. We must also prove the negligent person’s actions caused your injuries.
When we investigate our clients’ cases, we seek the following evidence:
- Statements from involved parties
- Witness statements
- Police and EMT reports
- Site investigation and photographs
- Proof of vehicle damage (car accidents)
- Expert evaluations (product liability, car accidents, premises liability)
- Medical bills
- Doctor reports
- Psychological evaluations
- Additional evidence depending on the type of incident
When you contact Baber Law as soon as possible after an incident, we have a better chance of documenting the evidence we need to present your case
What Types of Damages Can I Recover For a Personal Injury Claim?
As an injured plaintiff in New Haven, Connecticut, a settlement or judgment may include three types of damages. Economic, non-economic, and punitive.
- Economic Damages: This includes compensation for current and future out-of-pocket expenses for treatment, recovery, and rehabilitation
- Non-Economic Damages: Attorneys usually negotiate values for pain, suffering, disfigurement, scarring, permanent disabilities, emotional, psychological, and other subjectively evaluated damages.
- Punitive Damages: Connecticut juries may award punitive damages as a punishment for a defendant’s behavior. A preponderance of evidence must show the defendant’s actions were reckless, intentional, and malicious. Some insurance companies exclude punitive damages.
