Proving Fault for a Distracted Driving Accident

You may not know how to prove the defendant in your case was distracted when they caused your accident. Your Bridgeport distracted driver accident lawyer can gather evidence like cell phone data and eyewitness statements to help you establish liability. It’s important to act quickly as this evidence may not be available for very long.

It’s possible for disputes over liability to arise. In Connecticut, it is possible for multiple parties to share liability for an accident under the comparative fault rule. Your attorney at Bartlett Grippe will assist you in resolving any such disputes. Once we have proven liability for the accident, you can trust us to uncover all the ways you can secure compensation for your damages.

Filing Your Auto Insurance Claim in Bridgeport

Every driver in Connecticut is required to have auto insurance. When a driver causes an accident, their policy can pay for the damages they inflicted on others. Filing your auto insurance claim may seem straightforward at first, but you’re likely to encounter many challenges in your interactions with the distracted driver’s insurance carrier.

Most insurance companies will look for any way they can find to deny or devalue a claim. They may attempt to pressure the claimant into accepting a lowball settlement, cast blame on the claimant, or deny coverage for various reasons. Your Bridgeport distracted driver accident lawyer can help you avoid these issues and ensure you are treated fairly.

Recovering With a Personal Injury Case

If you cannot fully recover through insurance, your Bridgeport distracted driver accident lawyer can help you file a personal injury case. Success with this case will require proof of liability, and you must also prove the full scope of your damages. It’s possible to resolve a personal injury case through private settlement negotiations with the defendant or through litigation in court.

Bartlett Grippe have extensive experience building comprehensive personal injury cases for clients in the Bridgeport area. We know how to help you maximize your case award and resolve your case efficiently. Our firm will uncover all the various forms of compensation you are eligible to claim, such as:

Property damage, such as vehicle repair costs not covered by insurance.

Medical bills, including the cost of future treatment you will need to fully recover.

Lost wages. If you cannot work while you recover from your injuries, the defendant is liable for the income you cannot earn during this time.

Lost earning power if the accident caused a permanent disability that limits your ability to work.

Pain and suffering compensation, which aims to compensate you for the physical pain and psychological distress the defendant caused.

Your case may be worth more than you initially expected. Bartlett Grippe will work diligently to help you maximize the compensation you secure from the defendant.
