Every year, thousands of people are injured or killed in car accidents. While some of these accidents are due to weather or mechanical problems, many are the result of dangerous road conditions.

Sometimes there are no injuries and just minor damage to the vehicle, and other times there are severe injuries, serious property damage, or even death.

Connecticut is a “fault” or “tort” state, meaning the person who caused a car accident is generally liable for the other driver’s property damage, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. But what if one of the drivers involved in an accident is uninsured? According to the Insurance Research Council, 1 in 8 drivers …

“I could not have asked for a better result.”
Attorney Welcome made sure that my rights were protected and that I would get the best possible outcome for my case. I am so thankful that I went to him for help instead of trying to fight the court alone. He was understanding and honest throughout the entire court process and he kept me updated on how my case was going and what I should expect. He is not just experienced in court; he is extremely familiar with Connecticut courts and he knows what to expect from specific courts and judges. I could not have asked for a better result. Going to him for help was the best decision I’ve ever made.

The Trump administration has taken yet another step that puts immigrant families at greater risk. This time, it involves turning over private health care data to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On Monday as reported by the Associated Press, an agreement was signed, without any public announcement, giving ICE access to the Medicaid enrollment information …
In the last few weeks, a remote detention camp has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” the facility is located deep in swamp land, surrounded by pythons, alligators, and now, controversy. According to the Trump administration, this site is being used to house what the president has called “some of the …
On July 4, President Trump signed into law the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The name may sound like something from a political rally, but for immigrant families across the United States, the impact is serious and immediate. This new law is not a symbolic gesture or just another budget deal. It is a …
In a major immigration shift, the Trump administration has officially ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 72,000 Honduran nationals and 4,000 Nicaraguan nationals living in the United States. The decision, set to take effect on September 6, 2025, will leave tens of thousands of long-time residents vulnerable to deportation after more than two decades …

When a travel ban affects entire countries, it doesn’t just shut borders, it shuts out opportunity, divides families, and creates widespread fear. On June 4, President Trump issued a new presidential proclamation reviving one of his most controversial policies: a broad travel ban targeting foreign nationals from 19 countries. This action, reminiscent of his original …

Guidance from a Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Attorney Although the concept behind workers’ compensation is simple, it can become complicated when there is not a clear delineation of who is the employer and who is the employee. Due to more flexible business models, independent contractors, and third-party temp agencies, the traditional employer/employee model is changing, and it will …
This morning, the Supreme Court issued a decision with immediate consequences for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela: the Trump administration may now suspend a humanitarian parole program that had allowed individuals from these countries to temporarily live and work in the United States.
