Connecticut insurance companies on your side after a car crash? Don’t be so sure

Insurance companies are big business in Connecticut. Some of the nation’s leading insurance providers are based here in the state. Many people like to think their insurance company is looking out for their best interests. We want to believe if we have an accident, our insurance company will be there to help us get back on our feet.

Unfortunately, that’s not always true. Instead, your insurance company might be more concerned with its bottom line. As a result, they will sometimes go to extreme lengths to avoid paying people injured in an auto accident.

In some cases, your insurance company may be more concerned about the other driver in an auto accident. Now imagine your insurance company went to court and defended the other driver who caused the accident. Sounds crazy? Absolutely. But that’s exactly what one insurance company did after a driver killed a 24-year-old woman driving another car. The woman’s insurance company defended the other driver in court, even though the other driver had a suspended license.

At the Law Offices of Mark E. Salomone & Morelli, a Connecticut auto accident attorney at our law firm can work with you if you’ve been injured in an auto accident. We know what’s legal or against the law in Connecticut.

We also realize that no two accidents are the same. Every one is unique – just like you. That’s why we can work with you and design a strategy that fits your specific legal needs. Sometimes, you may need to file an auto accident lawsuit in Connecticut. We can help you sort through all your options.

In the case of the 24-year-old woman who died in an auto accident, her insurance company initially didn’t want to pay her family the full amount. “I think they thought that we would just turn our tails down behind us and walk away,” the 24-year-old’s mother told The New York Times.

The woman’s family took her insurance company to court and won. Taking on insurance companies in court can be a daunting task for many people. They don’t scare us. We’re prepared to do whatever it takes to get you the money you rightfully deserve. Contact a Connecticut auto accident lawyer who will fight for your rights. Contact the Law Offices of Mark E.

Connecticut roads extremely hazardous due to snowbanks

You’re stopped in your car at an intersection. You’re trying to determine if it’s safe to drive ahead. But you can’t see a thing around the corner. The reason? There’s a huge snowbank blocking your view. Now, you’re forced to blindly drive ahead, unsure whether there’s another car speeding straight towards you.

Such a scenario has become far too common this winter, especially in Connecticut, one of the hardest hit areas this winter. Hartford has already received more than 80 inches of snow. That’s 53 inches more than average. And as one big snowstorm after another pummels New England week after week, huge snowbanks grow larger and larger. That means even narrower streets and even less visibility for drivers. And as temperatures rise and fall below freezing, frozen snowbanks often turn into solid walls of ice. Melting snow can also create black ice on roads and lead to slip and fall accidents.

Your safety should not be compromised because of dangerous snowbanks. Accidents happen, especially during the winter. What would you do if you had an accident because of a snowbank? What if you were unable to work? How would you pay your medical bills? You need someone experienced with handling serious car accidents.
