Why Connecticut Injury Victims Choose Bartlett & Grippe

Choosing the right Connecticut personal injury lawyer is one of the most important decisions you will make after a serious injury or the loss of a loved one. The lawyer you hire shapes the medical care you can access, the settlement or verdict you ultimately receive, and how long the process takes. At Bartlett & Grippe, we built our practice around three commitments that matter at every stage of representation.

First, we prepare every case as if it is going to trial. Most cases settle, but insurance carriers offer their highest values to firms that they know will try the case if they have to. Our trial preparation is what gives our clients leverage in negotiation. Partner Frank C. Bartlett Jr. holds an AV Preeminent peer review rating from Martindale-Hubbell — a rating awarded to roughly the top ten percent of attorneys based on peer evaluation of legal ability and ethical standards.

Additionally, Partner Joseph R. Grippe is a top attorney recognized by Best Lawyers since 2023 for personal injury.

Second, our clients work directly with their attorney. We are a partner only firm by design. When a partner signs your case, that same partner directs strategy, communicates settlement offers, and tries the case if it goes to verdict. You are not a file being passed between rotating associates.

Third, we build our client relationships for the long term. Many of our clients refer friends and family members to our firm or return to us when a loved one has been seriously injured. Those lasting relationships reflect the trust we earn through personal attention, responsiveness, and results-driven representation. We handle catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, trucking accidents, and related motor vehicle accident cases throughout Connecticut.

Our Approach to Connecticut Personal Injury Cases

Connecticut personal injury law operates under specific statutes and deadlines that shape every case from day one. Understanding these rules — and acting within them — is the difference between a full recovery and a denied claim.

Bartlett & Grippe handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Under Connecticut General Statutes § 52-251c, contingency fees in personal injury matters are subject to a statutory sliding scale.

bartlett-grippe-ct-personal-injury-office-in-cheshireIn many complex cases clients elect to waive the statutory formula and instead agree to a straightforward one-third (33⅓%) contingency fee arrangement. Our attorneys will explain all fee options clearly at the outset of representation so you can make an informed decision about what works best for your case.

In addition to attorney’s fees, our firm advances the litigation costs necessary to properly investigate and prosecute your claim, including:

  • Expert witness fees
  • Court filing fees
  • Deposition transcripts
  • Medical record retrieval
  • Accident reconstruction expenses
  • Other case-related costs

These expenses are reimbursed from the recovery at the conclusion of the case.

At Bartlett & Grippe, we believe injured clients should have access to experienced legal representation without upfront financial burden. Our contingency fee structure allows clients to pursue justice while focusing on their recovery and their families.

What Happens When You Contact Us

The first call to Bartlett & Grippe is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.

  • Free consultation. Call 203-463-4939 any time, day or night. We will gather basic facts about your personal injury matter, the date and location, the parties involved, and your current medical situation. Consultations can take place in person at our Cheshire office, by phone, or by video.
  • Case evaluation. We review your records, identify all potential defendants and insurance policies, assess the applicable Connecticut statute of limitations, and tell you honestly whether we believe we can help. If your case is better suited to a different firm, we will tell you that and refer you appropriately.
  • Written contingency agreement. If we take your case, we sign a written contingency agreement that spells out our fee, who advances costs, and what happens if there is no recovery. You can take it home or have it reviewed by independent counsel before signing.
  • Investigation, negotiation, and trial preparation. A strong case is built through careful preparation and attention to detail. Our firm moves quickly to preserve critical evidence, obtaining accident reports, securing medical records, and conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the injury.

When necessary, we work with respected medical, financial, and accident reconstruction experts to fully evaluate the impact of our clients’ injuries and damages. We pursue strategic negotiations with insurance companies while preparing every case as though it will proceed to trial.

If a fair settlement is not offered, we are prepared to file suit and aggressively advocate for our clients in court. By preparing each case for the possibility of a jury verdict from the very beginning, we place our clients in the strongest possible position throughout the litigation process.
