What is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law covers a wide range of accidents and incidents where someone suffers harm due to another party’s negligence. If you’ve been injured physically, emotionally, or financially, and someone else is at fault, you may have a valid personal injury claim.
Common types of personal injury cases include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall injuries
- Workplace injuries
- Dog bites
- Medical malpractice
- Wrongful death
These incidents can result in serious injuries such as:
- Broken bones
- Back or neck injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Burns or lacerations
- Emotional distress
At McNamara & Goodman, we fight for clients dealing with not just physical pain but the ripple effects—missed work, mounting medical bills, emotional trauma, and more. We’re here to help you seek compensation and support every step of the way.

A personal injury claim arises when someone suffers harm due to another party’s negligence or intentional act. The injured party can seek compensation for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
There is no universal payout. Settlements vary based on factors like injury severity, liability, insurance coverage, and long-term impact. We work to secure the maximum compensation possible based on your unique circumstances.
It begins with an initial consultation, followed by investigation, evidence gathering, communication with insurers, potential negotiation, and, if necessary, a lawsuit. We’ll walk you through each step.
Connecticut law typically gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. Some exceptions apply, so it’s best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
