Stratford, CT is one of dozens of villages, towns, and cities with the same name scattered all over the world. In the U.S. alone, there are about 14 places called Stratford. They include several towns including Stratford, CT, in Fairfield County, two cities, a village, and three unincorporated communities.
Stratford, CT has a long, interesting history dating back to 1639. It is the oldest Stratford in the U.S., and one of the oldest in the world. Two British Stratfords predate it:
Stratford-at-Bow in London settled in 1177
Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, originally an Anglo-Saxon village that became a market town in 1196
Nobody is quite sure which of these two the Connecticut Stratford got its name from!
Today, Stratford, CT is an upbeat town committed to excellence. But not even the best town councils in the world can protect their citizens from accidents. This means that you need to be prepared.
Accidents come in a myriad of forms. Whether you have a car accident or a dog bites you, if it wasn’t your fault, you will need a personal injury attorney to help you claim against whoever was responsible. This is why Lemberg Law offers specialized personal injury claim services.
How a Stratford, CT Lawyer Can Help With Your Claim
You have insurance so you figure if something happens you can claim and you will have full coverage. But that isn’t always the case.
It doesn’t matter whether you claim against your own insurance company or the insurance carrier of the person you believe was liable for the accident. Chances are they will do everything to reduce their costs. Most insurance carriers will also want to manage their risk.
This means a personal injury lawyer will be in a position to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. And, if they don’t, you’ve got the option of going to court to prove the claim.
The lawyers at Lemberg Law have encountered this situation often. We know that most of the time, an insurer (yours or the person you are claiming from) is more likely to settle out of court. But, if they don’t, we will go to court and you only pay if we win.
Tell us what happened. We’ll tell you what you can expect to recover for your injuries.

The Most Common Causes of Claims in Stratford, CT
There are many causes of incidents and accidents that result in personal injury cases. These include accidents relating to cars, trucks, buses, and any other motorized vehicles. Motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents of all kinds are also common.
Dangerous and defective products and parts are also a common cause. For instance, there have been cases of defective automobile designs that have resulted in fatal injuries. Not as dramatic, but when an electrical appliance is not correctly wired, that can also be the cause of personal injury.
Many other faulty machines and appliances cause personal injury claims in Connecticut and throughout the country. These include faulty exercise equipment, lawnmowers, washers and dryers, and power tools.
Being attacked by a dog or bitten without any provocation is another very common cause of personal injury claims. Don’t think it’s just a dog bite. If you suffer damages of any sort, you can claim against the owner and/or their insurance policy. It’s good to know that in Connecticut, the courts will compensate you even if the injury wasn’t due to the owner’s negligence.
When you are the victim, you need an experienced, empathetic lawyer on your side.
FAQs From Our Stratford, CT Clients

How do I claim for a defective product?
You will need to prove that the product was defective and that it caused you harm. You will also have to prove that you were using the product for its intended purpose.

Once your attorney has these details, they can assess the value of your claim.

You need evidence of the bite and any medical treatment you have paid for. If there were witnesses to the incident get names and contact numbers.
