Legal Help After a Serious Personal Injury
A serious injury can affect far more than your physical health. Medical bills may begin to accumulate, time away from work can reduce your income, and insurance companies may start asking questions before you fully understand the extent of your injuries.
Ganim Injury Lawyers represents injured people in Bridgeport and communities throughout Connecticut. We investigate what happened, identify potentially responsible parties, document the losses connected to the injury and handle communications with insurers while you focus on recovery.
Every personal injury case is different. The goal is to understand how the injury has affected your health, finances and daily life and pursue the compensation available under Connecticut law.

Connecticut personal injury FAQs
Do I need a lawyer for a personal injury claim?
If you are injured in an accident, an attorney is especially important because your interests need to be protected. A consultation can help you understand the options available to you based on the specific circumstances of your case.
What if I was partly responsible for the accident?
Being partly responsible does not necessarily prevent recovery in a Connecticut negligence claim. Under Connecticut’s comparative-negligence statute, damages may be reduced according to the injured person’s percentage of negligence, providing it does not exceed fifty percent of the other party’s negligence.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, claims resulting from negligent conduct causing an injury are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the negligent conduct. Subject to very limited circumstances, if you miss that deadline, your right to seek compensation for your losses will be lost forever.
How much does it cost to contact Ganim Injury Lawyers?
Ganim Injury Lawyers offers free consultations and does not get paid unless the client receives a settlement.
