Auto Accident

Experienced Bridgeport, Connecticut Auto Accident Lawyer Helping Injured Clients


Auto accidents have the potential to negatively impact your job, your family, your health and your quality of life. Even an apparently minor traffic accident may result in serious injuries. If you have been hurt because someone was negligent, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries, including pain and suffering, past and future medical bills, and lost income. The Law Office of Richard A. Cerrato has successfully represented clients injured in auto accidents in Connecticut since 1983.

The Law Office of Richard A. Cerrato handles motor vehicle accident claims that involve negligent motorists, pedestrians, dangerous road conditions, and faulty or defective automobile parts.

Assistance from experts
We consult with knowledgeable and respected experts to assist with case preparation. Trauma doctors, chiropractors, forensics engineers, mechanics and collision reconstruction analysts lend their expertise to help our attorneys obtain the best possible settlements. At trial, these professional experts help by educating jurors about the specifics of the accident, what caused it and the injuries sustained by those involved.

Time is of the essence
It is important to speak to an attorney immediately following a traffic accident to ensure the preservation of crucial evidence and witness recollection. In addition, Connecticut law places time limits on filing an automobile accident claim. We are committed to the timely investigation of your claim. We even schedule appointments on the weekend or in the evening and will make hospital and home visits to injured patients when necessary.
