Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer After an Accident
Insurance companies focus on paying as little as possible — even when the accident wasn’t your fault. A personal injury lawyer protects your rights by:
-
Investigating what happened
-
Gathering evidence and witness statements
-
Identifying everyone who may be responsible
-
Calculating the full value of your losses
-
Negotiating with insurance companies
-
Preparing your case for trial if needed
When you hire Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers, you get a dedicated team handling every step while you focus on recovering.
After an injury, the insurance company already has a team working to protect its interests. You deserve a team just as committed to protecting yours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury in Connecticut
How long do I have to file a claim?
Most cases must be filed within two years of the injury. Don’t wait — evidence can disappear quickly.
What if I was partly at fault?
You may still recover compensation if you were less than 51% responsible. Your award is reduced by your share of fault.
Do I have to pay anything upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee, meaning we only get paid if we win.
Do most personal injury cases go to trial?
Most settle, but we prepare every case as if it could go to court. This strengthens your position with the insurance company.
