If you have been injured or a family member killed because of the negligence of others, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses and expenses. You need an aggressive personal injury lawyer who will protect your interests and fight for what you deserve.

The Watertown personal injury attorneys of Slavin, Stauffacher & Scott, L.L.C., with an additional office in Woodbury, represent accident victims and families throughout Northwest Connecticut, including Litchfield County and New Haven County.

Auto Accidents: Car, Truck, Motorcycle, Pedestrian

In a free case evaluation, we will take the time to listen to your story and make an initial evaluation of the merits of your claim. Our fifty-five-year-old firm has handled hundreds of motor vehicle accidents, seeking compensation through negotiated settlement or jury trial.

We promptly investigate to preserve evidence and establish whether the negligence led to the crash. Our attorneys are familiar with the typical injuries and issues in car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents.  We also handle injuries caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists. We work with personal injury victims and their physicians to collect damages for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of quality of life, and future medical care.

Slip and Fall, Premises Liability

The owner or individual in control of property may be responsible for damages if you are injured due to negligent conditions. If you have suffered serious harm due to slipping, tripping, or falling, you may be entitled to seek damages. Premises liability may apply to businesses and private residences if the owner neglected slippery floors or an icy sidewalk, or if other dangerous conditions contributed to your accident.

Dog Bites

There need not be a history of aggressive behavior for you to collect compensation for being bitten or attacked. A homeowner's policy may cover a dog bite claim, including damages for scarring, nerve damage, reconstructive surgery, and emotional trauma.

Wrongful Death

When an auto crash, construction accident or accident results in a fatality, family members are left with not only grief for their loss but often tangible losses. We offer compassionate support and legal counsel about your rights in holding the negligent party responsible. Spouses, children, and parents can sue for damages.  In appropriate cases, damages may include wrongful death damages, including medical and funeral costs, loss of future income, and loss of consortium of the person.

For maximum recovery after an accident or preventable death, contact the Watertown personal injury attorneys of Slavin, Stauffacher & Scott, L.L.C. for a free case evaluation. We handle many claims on a contingency fee (no attorney's fees unless we recover compensation), and we can come to your home or hospital if you are unable to travel.
