Why Consult an Attorney Soon After an Injury?

There are many compelling reasons to consult an attorney as soon as possible after you have suffered an injury that may be someone else's fault. The following page highlights one of those reasons: For certain Connecticut claims, the injured victim has only a very short period of time within which to give notice of the claim.

Connecticut law imposes some very brief notice periods to preserve your rights to pursue certain legal actions. These notice requirements are in addition to the statutes of limitations designating the time to commence suit in a case. Of course, not all claims under Connecticut law are subject to notice requirements.

At RisCassi and Davis, P.C., we believe that these notice periods, often derived from very old laws, restrict access to justice, and should be repealed or lengthened. However, so long as they remain the law of Connecticut, it is very important to comply with applicable notice provisions.
