Connecticut Personal Injury and Criminal Defense Law Blog

Every time that a family member calls a Connecticut inmate, Connecticut collects a 68% commission on that call. That commission delivered $7.7 million in revenue to the State, according to a Stamford Advocate February 14, 2020 article.

Has your heart been broken or seriously injured because of someone's negligent, reckless or intentional conduct?

Car accidents frequently injure and even kill the people who are involved. It can be difficult to really understand the devastating aftermath without experiencing it firsthand, so this probably feels like an abstract concept to Connecticut drivers who have never been in an accident. Even you might not have realized just how serious motor vehicle accidents are until you were hit by another driver.

Data from the Connecticut Department of Public Health shows that car accidents are one of the most common causes of injury-related deaths. Victims just like you who do survive often end up with more than just physical injuries. You might be experiencing emotional trauma from the accident itself is common, and ongoing pain and suffering only complicates your situation.

Most people in Connecticut make at least one poor decision during their teenage years, but not everyone faces criminal charges as a result. Police in New Canaan recently arrested an 18-year-old for allegedly breaking into an area supermarket. Although police believe three other people were involved, he was the only one arrested. The young man has since posted his $1,000 bond and is expected back in court on Jan. 15, 2020. It is likely that he may already be considering his criminal defense options as this date approaches.

Police were first alerted to a possible situation when one of the store's burglar alarms went off at approximately 2:45 a.m. Police officers responded to the scene a short while later and say saw four men near the loading dock. They were allegedly spotted holding various items from the store.
