Social Security Disability

If you qualify as disabled under the Social Security Act, you may apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. Because 75 percent of all initial applications are denied, most people require legal representation to succeed in acquiring benefits. >>Read more about SSD benefits

Workers Compensation
Most seriously injured workers need help to accurately estimate the compensation amount they should receive. Through knowledge and experience, a workers compensation lawyer knows whether a settlement offer is fair and can protect a worker’s rights. >>Read more about Workers Compensation

Personal Injury
When seriously injured, medical costs and lost income create financial stress. Injury suffered because of another’s negligence or wrongful action becomes a legal matter. Under Connecticut personal injury law, you have the right to pursue compensation for damages. In complex accidents and injuries, there may be multiple parties who are liable. >>Read more about Connecticut personal injury

Dog Bites

The Law Offices of The Nicholas Law Firm understand the seriousness of dog bites. Even the smallest of bites require the best legal attention.

Automotive Accidents

An auto accident of any size can dramatically change your life. Between the expense of medical bills, lost wages during your recovery time, automobile repairs and a long list of other expenses, the burden is huge. Then on top of things, you have to deal with the insurance companies, who aren't always looking out for your best interest. That's why using a Connecticut personal injury lawyer is what you need to get your life back in order.

Prescription drug injuries

The pharmecutical industry is an ever increasingly problem in today's society. Drug manufacturing giants aggressively market their products, and too often their eyes are strictly on profits and not on if they are helping or hurting people. So, they continue to downplay or hide the health risks associated with their "wonder drugs." Addiction is a huge delemma in this industry. As consumers, we rely on experts in the medical industry to be on top of our situations, as to not keep fulfilling this growing delemma. Our firm handles Connecticut drug injury and pharmaceutical cases because, as Connecticut personal injury lawyers, we think the public deserves compensation for drug companies' carelessness.

Medical Malpractice
Often called "Medical Negligence," occurs when a physician fails to properly treat a medical condition and the negligent act or omission is the cause of a new or aggravated injury to the patient. Obviously the physician cannot be responsible for the original underlying medical problem.

Slip and Fall

A slip and fall injury, also called a "trip-and-fall", occurs when a person falls and injures himself or herself on someone else’s property. In a slip and fall injury case, the property owner must be proven negligent, by failing to keep the property safe of hazards. The types of hazards that can cause a slip and fall injury include snow, ice, standing water, poor upkeep, improperly installed flooring, poor lighting, damaged flooring or stairs, and even freshly cleaned floors without the proper “wet floor” signs. Don't take a "slip and fall" injury lightly. The injury can lead to medical bills, lost wages, and even physical impairment.
