Brooklawn/St. Vincent Personal Injury Claims Our Law Firm Handles

Over 40 million people visit the emergency room annually for injury-related events, but not all of these may be considered personal injury cases. Generally, personal injury refers to physical or emotional harm caused by the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. 

Common types of personal injury cases we handle include:

Steps to Take Following a Personal Injury Accident 

Following a serious accident, it is important to take steps to protect your rights and ensure you receive needed support and compensation. Consider taking the following actions after an accident, for instance.

1. Prioritize safety and medical attention

Your top priority following an accident should be ensuring your safety and the safety of others involved. If you were involved in a car crash, move to a safe location away from traffic or other hazards. 

Seek medical attention from St. Vincent’s Health or another hospital nearby, even if you think your injuries are minor. Some injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, may not be immediately apparent but can worsen over time.

Prompt medical attention creates a record linking your injuries to the accident. This preserves important evidence for any future personal injury claims. 

2. Contact the authorities

Call 911 to report the accident and request emergency services. If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident with property damage or injuries, contacting the authorities is a legal requirement in most states.

While you avoid admitting fault, be sure to cooperate with the police and emergency responders. Request a copy of the police accident report. It will be an essential piece of evidence when you pursue compensation. 

3. Gather evidence

The more evidence you have showing the other party was at fault, the stronger your personal injury claim will be. 

If possible, gather the following evidence at the accident scene:

  1. Take photos and videos. Be sure to include property damage, injuries, weather and road conditions – and anything else that seems relevant. 
  2. Exchange contact information. Get contact information and insurance details from all parties involved. 
  3. Speak to eyewitnesses. Request contact information and statements from anyone who was an eyewitness to the incident. 

In the days following the accident, keep detailed records of all medical treatments, prescriptions, and doctor visits related to your injury. Ensure that all your symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments are thoroughly documented by your doctors. 

4. Be cautious about speaking to insurance companies

You or your attorney should contact your insurance company following an accident and inform them of the necessary information. If you choose to communicate with your insurer on your own, avoid making statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault or downplaying your injuries. 

You may be surprised at how quickly the at-fault party’s insurance company contacts you following your accident. We recommend not speaking to the other party’s insurers without first consulting a personal injury lawyer in Brooklawn/St. Vincent, Bridgeport, CT. Insurance adjusters may try to obtain an official statement from you that can be used to undermine your personal injury claim.

5. Consult a Brooklawn/St. Vincent, Bridgeport personal injury lawyer

Whether you were injured in a motor vehicle accident, slip-and-fall, or another type of accident, consulting a personal injury lawyer can significantly impact the outcome of your case. An experienced attorney can guide you through every step of the legal process. 

Your personal injury lawyer will evaluate the details of your case, determine potential compensation, and develop a strategy to achieve the best possible outcome.

    Testimonials

    • Now that reality has set in, I want to thank you for all your work and assistance in obtaining my settlement for the pelvic mesh. This money will make my life so much easier in the future.

      Loraine

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.

    • Cellino Law was a great company to work with. From the beginning they came out and met with my uncle and myself and assured us that everything would be taken care of from beginning to end our lawyer state and constant contact with us to make sure that everything would go smoothly and it did. I would definitely recommend anybody to go to Cellino Law for whatever help they need. And specifically please ask for the lawyer that we had Mr. Alan Silverstein. He was amazing and his staff was always attentive. Please go with them for your next law needs.

    • This letter is to thank Ms. Diane D’Andrea, assistant to Mr. George Gridelli, Attny for all the hard work, dedication, and attentiveness she showed during the representation of my case. She was always cheerful and ready to help in whatever way she could. All messages left for Mr. Gridelli were always relayed and Mr. Gridelli always promptly returned our calls. She was a very competent assistant. Cellino Law has proven to be a model of what legal representation should be. Throughout the 6 ½ years of this case, I have heard many horror stories from people with “bad lawyer stories.” We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have chosen Cellino Law and will always recommend you to those looking for good, honest representation with a personal touch.

    • I am writing to let you know what an outstanding job George Gridelli did for me in my personal injury lawsuit. His professionalism and expertise were evident at our first metting and he and his paralegal Diane D'Andrea took care of me as if I was a friend and not merely a client. They both went above and beyond for me in so many ways that it would be too numerous to list and I am grateful to have had such an exemplary team represent me. When working with George and watching him in court he personified to me what a lawyer is supposed to be - an honest, extremely compentent man who helped guide me through the legal system. I could not have obtained better representation anywhere else at any price. To me that says a lot abut you and your firm's integrity. Thank you again for representing me and for having such stellar individuals working for you! I will continue to recommend your firm.

      Carol

    • I really just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my case, answering all my questions, and mostly for being very patient with me. I feel that without you and Roza I would not have been able to get anything at all. I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will definitely want you both working for me. Again thank your for you hard work, time and patience.
