The Goshen Fairgrounds, hosting events like the Goshen Fair, draw significant foot and vehicle traffic, increasing accident risks on roads like Old Middle Street. Agricultural vehicles, common near Milton Road, pose unique hazards due to their size and slow movement. These cases may involve complex liability, such as farm or event organizer negligence. Our attorneys review event permits and collaborate with traffic experts to secure compensation for injuries like head trauma or fractures.

Yes, accidents on trails like those in Mohawk State Forest or private properties near Woodridge Lake can lead to valid claims if a driver’s negligence (e.g., veering off Route 4) or property hazards (e.g., uneven terrain) contributed. These cases may involve property owner liability. Our attorneys investigate maintenance records and work with accident reconstruction experts to pursue compensation for injuries like sprains or internal damage.

Goshen’s snowy winters and frequent rain create hazardous conditions on roads like Route 63 and paths near Tyler Lake. Drivers must adapt to ice or low visibility, and failure to do so (e.g., speeding on Milton Road during a storm) can establish negligence. If uncleared snow on sidewalks near Goshen Center caused your injury, the town or property owner may be liable. We review weather data and local ordinances to strengthen your claim.

Accidents near schools like Goshen Center School are common due to congested drop-off zones and heavy foot traffic on streets like North Street. Children and parents are vulnerable, often sustaining injuries like soft tissue damage or traumatic brain injuries. We collect school zone traffic logs and crossing guard statements to establish liability, ensuring compensation for medical costs and emotional distress.

Connecticut’s modified comparative fault rule allows recovery if you’re 51% or less at fault (e.g., crossing outside a crosswalk on Route 4). Your compensation may be reduced by your fault percentage. For example, if a driver ran a stop sign on Westside Road but you were jaywalking, shared fault may apply. Our attorneys use traffic data and witness accounts from Goshen to minimize your liability and maximize recovery.
