Manchester Personal Injury Lawyer

Over 80 Years of Combined Experience. Every Client Works Directly with Their Attorney.

At Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLP, we represent injured Connecticut residents who deserve more than a volume-driven firm and a rotating cast of staff contacts. Our four partners bring over 80 years of combined experience to personal injury cases, and every client works directly with the attorney responsible for their claim. If you can’t travel to us, we come to you. Home and hospital visit consultations are available for clients still recovering from serious injuries.

We take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so there are no upfront legal fees and no payment of any kind unless we recover for you. Free consultations are available by phone, at our office, or at your location. From your first call, you’ll receive proactive updates at every stage so you always know where your case stands.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Manchester

Personal injury law covers a wide range of incidents, and many arise in places Manchester residents encounter every day. The I-384 corridor sees serious motor vehicle collisions regularly. Retail corridors, commercial properties, and residential sidewalks generate slip and fall and premises liability claims. Wherever your injury occurred, the challenges that follow are often the same: pain, mounting bills, and an insurer working to minimize what you receive.

We handle the following personal injury cases for Manchester clients:

• Car accidents
• Bicycle accidents
• Catastrophic injuries
• Construction accidents
• Dog bites
• Medical malpractice
• Motorcycle accidents
• Nursing home abuse
• Pedestrian accidents
• Slip and falls
• Product liability
• Truck accidents
• Wrongful death

Injuries range from fractures and soft tissue damage to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries with long-term or permanent consequences. We look carefully at how each injury has changed your life and what you’ll need going forward, including care and income losses that haven’t materialized yet.

Compensation Available in Connecticut Personal Injury Claims

Connecticut personal injury claims can recover two categories of damages. Economic damages are quantifiable monetary losses: medical bills already paid, future treatment costs, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and property damage. Non-economic damages address the subjective toll of an injury: pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of consortium. The value of a claim depends on injury severity, its impact on your daily life and future earning capacity, and the strength of the evidence supporting your losses.

We help clients pursue compensation for:

• Current and future medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity
• Property damage
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium

Our attorneys evaluate both your documented losses and your anticipated future needs to pursue full and fair compensation, not just what the insurer initially offers.

Connecticut’s Personal Injury Deadlines: What Manchester Residents Should Know

Connecticut’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury. Missing that deadline can mean losing the right to file, regardless of how strong your claim might be.

Two exceptions deserve particular attention. If your injury occurred on property owned or maintained by a municipality, such as a defective town sidewalk or road, you must file a formal written notice within 90 days of the incident with a selectman or the clerk of the town, city, or borough. That window is far shorter than the standard two-year period, and missing it can bar your claim entirely. Certain claims involving minors or delayed injury discovery follow different rules as well.

Beyond the legal deadlines, early action matters for practical reasons. Evidence gets lost. Witnesses’ recollections fade. The sooner an attorney can investigate your accident, the stronger the foundation your claim can be built on. If you’re unsure how these timelines apply to your situation, consult an attorney as soon as possible.

Your consultation is free and you pay nothing unless we win. Call Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLP at (860) 866-1024 to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I Work Directly with the Attorney Handling My Case?

Yes. When you hire our firm, you work directly with the attorney responsible for your case, not a rotating staff contact. You’ll also receive proactive updates as your case develops so you always know what’s happening without having to chase anyone down.

How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take to Resolve?

It depends on injury severity, the complexity of the facts, and how reasonably the insurer engages during negotiations. Straightforward claims may resolve in months. More serious or disputed cases, particularly those requiring litigation, take longer. Throughout the process, we keep you informed about expected next steps and any developments that might affect the timeline.

Should I Accept the Settlement Offer the Insurance Company Already Made?

Not before having it reviewed. Early offers are often calculated to close your claim before the full extent of your injuries and losses becomes clear. An offer that feels adequate today may not account for future medical costs, ongoing lost income, or long-term limitations. We can evaluate any proposed settlement against your documented and anticipated losses and explain whether it reflects fair value. If it doesn’t, we can discuss what pursuing a better result would look like.

What Is Connecticut’s Deadline for Filing a Personal Injury Claim?

Connecticut’s statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury, with a shorter 90-day written notice requirement for claims involving municipal property. These deadlines vary by situation, so consulting an attorney promptly after an injury is one way to help protect your right to pursue compensation.

How Do I Choose the Right Personal Injury Attorney?

Look beyond advertisements. Consider the attorney’s record with personal injury cases, peer recognitions, and how clearly they communicate. You should leave your first consultation with honest answers about your options and a clear sense of how the firm operates. At Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLP, we offer free consultations so you can evaluate our background, our recognitions, and our approach before making any commitment.
