When someone else's negligence changes your life, Ashford & Vane puts an experienced trial attorney in your corner from day one to verdict.
Most Connecticut personal injury firms settle. They move volume. We were built for the cases that matter—the ones where the insurance company knows a real trial is on the table if they don't offer fair compensation.
From the first call, you work directly with a named partner. We invest our own resources in investigation, expert retention, and preparation because we believe every case should be built as if it's going in front of a jury—whether or not it does.
Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian collisions across Connecticut highways and city streets.
Surgical errors, misdiagnosis, birth injuries, and nursing-home negligence.
Construction site falls, industrial accidents, and third-party claims beyond workers' compensation.
Slip-and-fall, inadequate security, swimming pool injuries, and dangerous property conditions.
Compassionate representation for families who have lost someone to another's negligence.
Defective vehicles, pharmaceutical injuries, and dangerous consumer products.
You speak directly with a partner—not a paralegal—about your situation, at no charge.
We preserve evidence, secure expert witnesses, and reconstruct what happened before memories fade.
We calculate the full value of your claim and present it to insurers on your terms.
If the insurer won't be reasonable, we take it before a jury—and we win there, too.
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis. You pay nothing unless we recover money for you. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, agreed upon upfront.
Most cases resolve within 6–18 months. Complex cases involving disputed liability or catastrophic injuries can take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline after we review your matter.
Connecticut follows modified comparative negligence. You can still recover as long as you were less than 51% at fault. Your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault.
Almost never without consulting an attorney first. Initial offers are typically far below the full value of a claim. Once you accept and sign a release, you cannot seek additional compensation.
In Connecticut, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury. Wrongful death claims have a two-year limit running from the date of death. Do not wait.
No fee unless we recover. No obligation for an initial conversation.
