Your Rights After a Car Accident

Understanding your rights after a car accident is essential for making a full recovery and protecting your future.

Our team at Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLP, explains your rights and guides you through every step to protect them.

Being involved in a car accident in Hartford can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps immediately afterward helps protect your health and your legal rights. Acting quickly helps you comply with Connecticut law and preserve key evidence for any future claim.

Steps to take after a car accident:

• Exchange Information: Share contact and insurance details with all parties involved. Avoid discussing fault at the scene.
• Document the Scene: Take photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, and nearby landmarks like Bushnell Park or Union Station.
• Collect Witness Information: If anyone saw the crash, get their names and contact details for future reference.
• Contact an Attorney: An experienced car accident lawyer in Hartford can help with documentation, deadlines, and communication with insurers so you can focus on recovery.
