Separating Fact from Fiction in Personal Injury Law
If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, you may have heard a lot of misinformation about personal injury claims. Insurance companies and big corporations benefit when injury victims don't know their rights. That's why we're here to set the record straight.
Common Personal Injury Myths – Debunked
Myth #1: “Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer is Too Expensive”
✅ Fact: Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing upfront and only owe a fee if we win your case. If you don't get compensated, neither do we.
Myth #2: “I Can Handle My Claim Alone”
✅ Fact: Insurance companies profit by paying you less than what you deserve. They use tactics to delay, deny, or undervalue claims. A personal injury attorney levels the playing field, ensuring you get maximum compensation.
Myth #3: “Personal Injury Lawsuits Take Too Long”
✅ Fact: While some cases take time—especially complex ones—many claims settle within months. The length depends on factors like medical treatment, insurance negotiations, and court backlogs. An experienced attorney can expedite the process.
Myth #4: “If I Was Partially at Fault, I Can't Recover Compensation”
✅ Fact: Connecticut follows modified comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
Myth #5: “All Lawyers Are the Same”
✅ Fact: Not all personal injury lawyers offer the personalized attention and aggressive advocacy that your case deserves. At [Your Law Firm Name], we treat clients like real people, not case numbers.
