Personal Injury Law
Our personal injury practice group consists of attorneys dedicated to protecting the rights of clients who have suffered serious physical or psychological injuries due to the fault of another. For almost a century, we have fought hard to ensure that our clients receive fair and just compensation for their injuries and losses. Our personal injury practice is extensive and includes cases arising in a variety of contexts, including Automobile Accidents, Medical Malpractice, Falls & Dangerous Premises, and Defective Products.
Over the years, our lawyers have recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for the benefit of our clients. These verdicts and settlements compensate our clients for their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of life's enjoyment. Frequently, these damages are recovered before trial, as a result of a mediation, arbitration, or settlement. When cases do not settle, we are fully prepared to try cases in state or federal court, and to advocate for our clients in the appellate courts of Connecticut and the United States.
Lawyers in our personal injury practice group meet frequently to discuss new developments in the law, to evaluate cases, and to discuss issues arising in specific cases. In this way, clients are able to benefit from the experience and knowledge of all the members of the group. Since we are selective about the cases we accept, we are able to dedicate the firm's human and financial resources to each client.

Falls & Dangerous Premises:
Owners are required by law to provide a safe environment for visitors to their property. When they do not and their guests are injured, the property owner may be liable. Our firm has nearly 100 years of experience handling these claims. These claims include injuries from:
Wet Floors:
Food or liquids on the floor in grocery stores
Ice and snow covered walkways and driveways
Bad lighting in parking lots or in stairwells
Broken stairs, steps and sidewalks
Missing or broken locks or handrails
Merchandise falling from shelves
Dog bites
Failure to use proper security in parking lots and garages
We urge people injured on defective or dangerous property to contact an attorney immediately, as many of these claims can only be brought if a proper notice is served on the responsible party very shortly after the accident. It can also be very helpful to take photographs of the defective property. If you have been injured by dangerous or defective property, please contact Stephen Finn to set up a free initial consultation.
Defective Products:
Dangerous products injure and kill thousands of people each year. Automobiles, contaminated foods, drugs, industrial machinery and even household appliances can cause devastating injuries or death. The manufacturers, distributors, engineers and designers on whom we place our trust often betray that trust. Every week, people are injured or killed as a result of unnecessary product defects.
The area of law that covers these types of cases, known as products liability law, applies when a product does not have adequate safety precautions, has a manufacturing defect, a design or development flaw, or an inadequate warning or label. In these cases, the seller, manufacturer and designer may be liable for the injuries and deaths caused by the product. If you were injured by a defective or dangerous product, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, physical or psychological injuries, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of your life. Aside from receiving fair compensation for our clients, it is our hope that the actions we bring will persuade sellers, manufacturers and designers of defective products to remove the defective products from the marketplace and help prevent future avoidable injuries.
If you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product it is important that you do not discard the product, as it may need to be tested by experts in order to prove your case.
The personal injury lawyers at Wofsey, Rosen, Kweskin & Kuriansky, LLP are experienced at prosecuting defective products cases. If you or a family member has been injured by a defective product, please contact Stephen Finn to set up a free initial consultation.
