At Polito and Harrington, our dedicated personal injury attorneys advocate fiercely for victims throughout Connecticut, ensuring they receive the necessary support and fair compensation.

If you or someone you care about has sustained serious injuries due to someone else’s negligence, reach out to us right away to discuss your situation. Our skilled personal injury lawyers are ready to offer guidance and legal support during this tough time.

Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

It’s essential to consult with a personal injury attorney for any injury-related matters, no matter how straightforward they may appear. Insurance companies frequently deny liability and refuse to take responsibility. They might employ experts to claim you weren’t truly injured or that any injuries resulted from different causes. Insurance firms often consider a lawyer’s reputation when making these decisions. Additionally, the law imposes strict deadlines for filing various types of injury claims, which can limit your ability to recover damages. A Waterford attorney with a solid background in personal injury law can safeguard your case and provide you with peace of mind during this challenging time.

Polito and Harrington is Committed to Your Well-Being

At Polito and Harrington, we pride ourselves on delivering outstanding service to our clients. Our motivation for entering the legal field stems from a desire to assist those in need, especially when they face difficult circumstances. Our injury attorneys prioritize open communication, ensuring clients have the information necessary to navigate the legal process.

Polito and Harrington is Focused On Your Long-Term Needs

Our injury lawyers are passionate about standing up to insurance companies and corporations that prioritize profits over people. They often disregard your well-being and future needs. Insurers may propose quick settlements to minimize their losses, but these offers are typically much lower than what you could potentially recover in a personal injury lawsuit. Accepting a rapid settlement means forfeiting your rights to seek additional compensation later. If your injuries worsen or new issues arise post-settlement, there’s no opportunity to reclaim the rightful compensation you deserve. An attorney can advocate on your behalf to ensure you aren’t exploited by the insurance companies.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At Polito and Harrington, we exclusively represent individuals who have been injured. Our focused approach to litigation provides us with valuable knowledge and insights that we apply directly to your case. Here are some types of personal injury cases we frequently handle:
