Rodie & Rodie is a Connecticut-based personal injury firm with decades of experience representing car accident victims. Our lead attorney has handled hundreds of auto collision cases involving drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and cyclists — from minor rear-ends to catastrophic injuries. We are deeply familiar with Stratford’s roads, traffic patterns, and local insurance practices.
If you were injured in a car accident in Stratford — whether on I-95, Route 1 (Barnum Ave / Main St), Broadbridge Avenue, Lordship Blvd, or a residential street — we will:
Collect and preserve crucial evidence (police reports, traffic cam footage, photos, witness statements)
Handle all communication with insurance companies to protect you from lowball offers
Accurately document your injuries, treatment, and long-term needs
Calculate full damages — medical costs, lost wages, future care, pain & suffering, diminished life quality
Determine liability under Connecticut’s fault-based negligence laws and, if applicable, contributory negligence rules
Accidents often occur in high-risk zones such as interchanges on I-95, busy intersections on Barnum Avenue, and near local commercial areas and shopping districts. Having a lawyer familiar with these patterns means faster evidence gathering, better accident reconstruction, and stronger leverage when negotiating or litigating.
Immediately after the crash: secure scene photos, get medical care, preserve evidence
Before giving statements to insurers
Within the statute of limitations for Connecticut — typically 2 years from crash date for most personal injury claims
Early legal involvement helps preserve evidence and strengthens recovery potential.
Direct attorney involvement — you meet and speak with our experienced attorney, not a case manager
Contingency-fee model — no upfront cost; you pay only if we recover compensation
Local knowledge + trial-ready readiness — if insurers won’t negotiate fairly, we are prepared to take your case to court
Comprehensive damage assessment — we value not only medical and property damages but also pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, future care needs, and long-term impacts
Free case review & consultation — you explain what happened; we evaluate facts and potential liability.
Investigation & evidence collection — police reports, witness statements, photos, video, medical records.
Medical documentation & future prognosis — working with doctors to document past and future needs.
Demand preparation & insurance negotiation — presenting a full picture of damages and losses.
Settlement or litigation — if insurer refuses fair offer, we file suit; we prepare for trial for maximum compensation.
Compensation can include:
Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages and lost earning capacity
Vehicle repair or replacement
Pain and suffering, emotional distress
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Loss of quality of life or consortium
The final value depends on factors like severity of injuries, liability, long-term impacts, and insurance coverage.

Q: How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a car accident in CT?
A: Usually 2 years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims. Missing that deadline may bar you from recovery.
Q: Do I need a lawyer if the accident seems minor?
A: Yes — some injuries (like soft tissue, concussion, whiplash) worsen over time, and insurers often undervalue early “minor” claims. A lawyer helps ensure your long-term damages are protected.
Q: What if I’m partially at fault?
A: Under Connecticut negligence law, being partially at fault does not necessarily bar recovery — but your compensation may be reduced proportionally.
Q: How much will it cost to hire you?
A: We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Q: What kind of damages can I get?
A: Medical costs, lost wages, future medical care, property damage, pain & suffering, disability, and more depending on specifics.
