Car Accident Attorneys

Were You Injured in an Auto Accident?

Since 1988, Gold, Levy & Poirot has represented thousands of clients who were injured as the result of the careless, reckless driving of others. When it comes to auto accident cases, the key issue is determining which driver is at fault. However, in some situations, the law may allow us to find that an individual who was not even in the car at the time was a responsible party.

At Gold, Levy & Poirot, we have over three decades of experience when it comes to auto accident liability cases. Our attorneys can skillfully apply that experience to help you get the most compensation for your injuries and damages.

Examples of At-Fault Parties Connected With a Car Accident

In some situations, you may be able to sue additional parties on your behalf who may be in part to blame for your auto accident, even if they weren't behind the wheel or inside the vehicle. Some examples include:

• When an Employee Was Driving the Defendant’s Car The law will hold an employer responsible for the wrongful acts of their employees, including negligent driving, when the employee is performing their job duties.
• When Someone Other Than the Owner of the Vehicle Was Driving In Connecticut, car owners are legally responsible for negligent driving by anyone using their car with their permission.
• When a Vehicle is Operated by the Owner’s Child In Connecticut, parents may be held liable for their child’s reckless or negligent use of the family vehicle.
• When a Person Allows an Unfit Driver to Operate their Car A claim of this nature is called “negligent entrustment” - in this type of case we would claim that the owner lent their car to a dangerous driver, and is responsible for the acts of the dangerous driver – this can occur when the owner lends his car to someone they know is intoxicated, underage or uninsured, inexperienced, ill, or who has previously driven in a reckless fashion.

Additionally, you may also have a claim against your own auto insurance company if the accident was caused by an uninsured or a hit-and-run driver. This is known as an “uninsured motorist claim.” If another driver causes a crash, resulting in injuries, but has no insurance or not enough insurance to cover your injuries and damages, you still may be able to pursue a claim. Contact Gold, Levy & Poirot and we'll help you determine if you have a case. At-home and hospital visits are available.
