Middlebury Accident Lawyers Dedicated To Helping People Throughout Connecticut

Moore, O'Brien & Foti is one of Connecticut’s premier injury law firms. Our law firm is proud of our record of helping seriously injured individuals and the surviving family members recover complete monetary damages after an injury or loss. We are equally proud of helping clients with less serious injuries. Our law firm handles the full range of personal injury and wrongful death claims such as the following:

Motor Vehicle Accident – Every driver is responsible for following the rules of the road. If you or a loved one is injured by another driver’s failure to follow the rules of the road, they are responsible for any and all injuries they cause, including medical bills, lost wages, and most importantly, pain and suffering.

1. Truck Accidents – Truck drivers have a significant responsibility to others on the road. A collision with a truck can lead to catastrophic injuries. The driver and the employer are responsible for injuries caused by the truck driver’s negligence.
2. Distracted Driving – Drivers are more distracted now than ever. It is not uncommon for the cause of an accident to be a result of distracted driving. Depending on the circumstances, the law may conclude that the driver’s behavior was reckless, which will allow for additional damages.
3. Motorcycle Accidents – Motorcyclists share our roads, and when a motorist drives carelessly and causes an injury to a motorcyclist, the injuries can be catastrophic. If you or a loved one is injured, it is important to explore your options as soon as possible.
4. Bicycle Accidents – When a bicyclist is struck by a careless motorist, the injuries can be grave. The careless motorist is liable for any and all injuries they cause, including medical bills, lost wages, and, most importantly, pain and suffering.
5. Pedestrian Accidents – When a pedestrian is struck by a careless motorist, the injuries can be grave. The careless motorist is liable for any and all injuries they cause, including medical bills, lost wages, and, most importantly, pain and suffering.
6. Hit and Run Accidents – Being involved in an accident is bad enough, but to then have the at-fault party leave the scene is inexcusable. If someone leaves the scene of an accident and you are injured, you can still most likely be fairly compensated for your injuries.
7. Bus Accidents – Buses are common carriers and have an obligation to their passengers. If they fail in that obligation and someone is injured, they are liable for any damages.
8. Negligent Entrustment – Operating a motor vehicle comes with tremendous responsibility. If an owner or possessor of a motor vehicle carelessly entrusts another with a motor vehicle and injures someone, they are responsible for any injuries caused.

Slip and Fall – Falling on a property can cause serious injuries. If you or a loved one slipped and/or tripped as a result of a dangerous condition on the property and were injured, you or your loved one are entitled to compensation.

Trip and Fall – Suffering a trip and fall on someone else’s property can be life-changing. If you or a loved one tripped and fell and were injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to be fairly compensated for any injuries suffered.

Premises Liability – The owner, possessor, maintainer, inspector, and/or controller of a property is responsible for keeping the property safe. If they fail to do so and you or a loved one is injured, they are responsible for your injuries.

1. Inadequate lighting – If an owner, possessor, maintainer, inspector, and/or controller of a property fails to adequately light the property and you or a loved one are injured as a result, they are responsible for any injuries.
2. Failure to warn – If an owner, possessor, maintainer, inspector, and/or controller of a property fails to warn about dangerous conditions on the property and you or a loved one are injured as a result, they are responsible for any injuries.
3. Construction Accidents – Construction sites can be dangerous. It is up to the owner, general contractor, or possessor of land to keep the property safe. If they fail to do so and someone is injured, they may be liable.
4. Negligent Supervision – An owner, possessor, maintainer, inspector, and/or controller of a property has an obligation to keep a visitor safe from becoming a victim to unlawful activity. If they fail to do so, they may be liable for any damages someone suffers.
5. Negligent Security – The owner, possessor, maintainer, inspector, and/or controller of a premises has a legal duty to protect others from unreasonable risk of harm. If you or a loved one is injured by a failure of that duty, the owner, possessor, maintainer, inspector, and/or controller may be liable.
6. Assault – If you or a loved one are injured as a result of an assault, you or your loved one may have the right to recover for those injuries.

Dog Bite – Everyone loves man’s best friend, but it is the responsibility of the dog owner or keeper to make sure those around the dog are safe. If you or a loved one are bitten or injured in any way as a result of a dog, the owner or keeper is responsible for your injuries.

Dram Shop – Commercial establishments such as bars, restaurants, or liquor stores, have a responsibility to the general public when serving or selling alcoholic beverages. If they serve alcohol to someone while they are visibly intoxicated, the commercial establishment may be responsible for any harm the visibly intoxicated person may cause.  (It is important to reach out to an attorney right away as there are notice deadlines that most likely need to be met.)

Medical Malpractice – Doctors and other healthcare professionals are of the utmost importance in our society. We turn to them for guidance in some of our most vulnerable times.  If a healthcare professional makes a mistake in your or a loved one’s care, they may be responsible for any harm it may cause.

1. Failure to Diagnose – Failure to diagnose an illness or disease can cause significant damage, and the results can be grave. If a medical provider fails to diagnose an illness or disease, they are liable for any and all damages they cause.
2. Misdiagnoses – Incorrectly diagnosing an illness or disease can cause significant damage, and the results can be catastrophic. If a medical provider misses a diagnoses, they are liable for any and all damages they cause.
3. Surgical Mistakes – The decision to have a surgery is not one that is taken lightly. When we do make that decision, we expect the provider to take extreme care and caution; if they fail to and are negligent, they are liable for any injuries they cause.
4. Prescription Negligence – When we decide to take medication, we are trusting the medical provider and pharmacist. When they violate that trust and cause injury, they are liable.

Nursing Home Negligence – The choice to put a loved one in a nursing home is never easy. When we do, we expect the nursing home and its staff to take reasonable care of our loved one. If the nursing home and/or the individual caregiver fail to do so and your loved one is injured, the nursing home may be liable. This could include incidents such as falls, assaults, or other abuse.

Dental Malpractice – Dental professionals have a standard to follow. If they fail to follow that standard and you or a loved one are injured as a result, the dental professional may be liable for any injuries you or your loved one suffered.

Products Liability – We, as consumers, expect the products we purchase or use to be safe. If a company or manufacturer fails to live up to that expectation and you or a loved one are injured as a result the company or manufacturer is responsible for those injuries.

Aviation – Airplanes are a common mode of transportation which is highly regulated. There are standards, protocols, and rules that must be followed.  If they are not followed and you or a loved one are injured as a result, the airline, pilot, or company may be liable.

Train Accidents – When a train accident occurs, the injuries can be significant and devastating. It is important to hold those responsible for any and all injuries they cause, including medical bills, lost wages, and most importantly, pain and suffering.

Boating Accidents – The decision to operate a boat is one that carries great responsibility. The operator is responsible for the safety of those on the boat and around them. If the operator is careless and injury is caused as a result, the operator is liable.

Sexual Assault/Sexual Abuse – There is no question that sexual assault or sexual abuse can have a lasting impact on the survivor. Every survivor should have a voice. Part of that may include holding those responsible for the sexual assault or sexual abuse accountable.

Wrongful Death – It is never easy to lose a loved one. However, it is even worse to know that a loved one died as a result of someone’s or something’s negligence. If that happens, the beneficiaries are entitled to bring a claim against the liable party.

Catastrophic Injuries – These injuries can lead to serious side effects and alter a person’s life permanently. If you or a loved one has suffered a grave injury, it is important you explore your options as soon as possible.

1. Traumatic Brain Injury – An injury to the brain is significant and needs to be treated as such. It is important that any future care, treatment, and limitations of daily activities must be considered when discussing the case.
