Most crashes occur on Route 4, North Street, and East Street North, especially at rural intersections or near local attractions like Goshen Fairgrounds and Woodridge Lake. These areas experience increased traffic during the fair and summer months, and many visitors are unfamiliar with the roads. Sharp turns, narrow lanes, and limited shoulder space all contribute to higher accident risk in these spots.

Yes—absolutely. Injuries like concussions, internal bleeding, or spinal damage might not show immediate symptoms but can worsen over time. Getting checked out at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or a nearby urgent care facility provides documentation that can support your injury claim and protect your health in the long run.

Goshen is a pass-through town for tourists and seasonal visitors, so this is common. If the driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own auto insurance policy may include UM/UIM (uninsured/underinsured motorist) coverage. We can help file a claim under your policy and explore other legal options to recover compensation—you don’t have to face this alone.

Yes. Connecticut uses a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you’re less than 51% responsible for the accident. Your total award will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. Our attorneys work to gather evidence and reduce any fault unfairly attributed to you.

You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit under Connecticut law. This deadline is strict, and waiting too long could cause you to lose your right to compensation. Contacting an attorney early helps preserve evidence, gather witness statements, and build a stronger case.
