Recovering Damages Following A Car Accident
We talk about car accidents as if they are run-of-the-mill; they are anything but.
In a typical year, there are about 15,000 auto accidents in this part of Connecticut. About 4,000 of these result in serious injury. About 30 people die on the road or die soon after from their injuries.
So 4,000 enter a very insecure zone. They have hospital bills and are not sure how to pay them. They lose time at work and wonder how that will affect them. They may be unable to work at their job ever again.
That’s when it’s time to work with a lawyer who listens to you, who knows what’s important to you and knows how to go get it for you. Bob Sousa or Tom Minogue of Sousa & Minogue, LLC, of Shelton, fits that description.

Answering Commonly Asked Car Accident Questions
To better help you understand the legal world and what to expect, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions below. For personalized answers, please call our office.
When Does A Car Accident Qualify For A Personal Injury Claim?
If you are injured because someone else was driving negligently, you may be eligible for compensation. This includes incidences of distracted driving, drunk driving and texting while driving.
Whose Insurance Company Is Responsible For My Care?
If you are in an accident, the insurance policy of the person most responsible for the accident is probably where you will obtain coverage. This is more complicated if a commercial vehicle or multiple cars are involved.
What If I Was Partly Responsible?
The party who was 51% or more responsible for the crash is responsible for compensation. This means you may be partly responsible and still be able to receive a settlement.
I Was Using An Uber. Am I Still Eligible?
If you were riding in an Uber, Lyft or other rideshare vehicle, you are likely still eligible for recovery. In fact, depending on the circumstances, you may be eligible for multiple claims, including a claim with the rideshare company.
