How Can Our New Haven Personal Injury Lawyers Help You?
We’ve helped people injured in car crashes, dog attacks, falls, and other accidents in New Haven. Select the situation that sounds most like yours to learn how we can help.
I was in a car accident in New Haven
Car crashes on I-95, I-91, Route 34, Ella T. Grasso Boulevard, Whalley Avenue, Chapel Street, and other busy New Haven roads can cause serious and permanent injuries. Our New Haven car accident lawyers investigate the crash, deal with insurance companies, and pursue compensation from negligent drivers and other responsible parties.
I was bitten by a dog in New Haven
A dog bite can happen on a walk through East Rock, at a neighbor’s house, or while your child is visiting a friend. If you or your child needed stitches, follow-up care, or treatment for scarring, our New Haven dog bite attorneys can help you understand your options and what information to save.
I slipped and fell in New Haven
You may have slipped on an icy apartment walkway, fallen on a wet store floor, or lost your footing on a broken step. The New Haven slip and fall lawyers at McCoy & McCoy can look into who maintained the property and what evidence is available, including photos, incident reports, and security footage.
I was hit by a car while walking or biking in New Haven
Maybe you were crossing Chapel Street, biking on your way to work, or walking through a parking lot when a driver hit you. Our pedestrian accident attorneys can look for witnesses and available video to help piece together what happened.
I was in a truck accident in New Haven
Commercial truck cases can involve trucking companies, drivers, maintenance contractors, cargo companies, and multiple insurance carriers. Our truck accident attorneys move quickly to preserve driver logs, electronic vehicle data, inspection records, and other evidence.
I was in a motorcycle accident in New Haven
Maybe a driver turned left in front of you on Whalley Avenue, merged into your lane on I-95, or pulled out of a driveway without seeing you. Our New Haven motorcycle accident lawyers have experience handling motorcycle accident cases and can help you gather evidence, deal with the insurance company, and understand your options.
I lost a loved one after an accident in New Haven
If someone you love died after a crash or another serious incident, you may have questions about what happened and what your family can do next. Our wrongful death lawyers can listen, walk you through your options, and give you space to decide how you want to proceed.
Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
You may have a personal injury claim if another person, business, property owner, employer, manufacturer, or other party failed to act reasonably and caused you to suffer an injury.
A successful claim generally requires evidence that:
- Another party owed you a duty to act with reasonable care;
- That party acted negligently or wrongfully;
- Their conduct caused or contributed to the accident; and
- You suffered injuries, financial losses, or other damages as a result.
You do not need to know exactly who was responsible before contacting an attorney. Many accidents involve several potentially liable parties, insurance policies, or disputed versions of what happened. Our New Haven injury attorneys can investigate the circumstances, identify the responsible parties, and explain whether you may have grounds to pursue compensation.

Trial-Ready Advocacy. Attorney Frank McCoy is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the NBTA. This rigorous credential is held by less than 0.5% of all Connecticut lawyers, signaling the highest level of courtroom expertise. Insurance companies know which law firms settle for the first offer and which law firms – like ours – have the credentials to take a case to trial. Our courtroom reputation gives our clients a level of leverage that most firms simply cannot provide.
The “Insurance Insider” Edge. We know their playbook. Attorney Brian Parrott previously worked as an insurance adjuster, so he knows exactly how they evaluate claims and minimize payouts, giving our firm a unique advantage.
Proven Results. Our New Haven personal injury attorneys have recovered millions for injured clients across Connecticut. We know how to build strong cases, negotiate effectively with insurance companies, and pursue maximum compensation when litigation becomes necessary. Because the insurance companies know our record, they are forced to take your case seriously from day one. See our case results.
Limited Caseload & Direct Attorney Access. When you hire McCoy & McCoy as your New Haven injury lawyers, you will have direct access to the attorney handling your case. Unlike high-volume firms that handle hundreds of cases at a time, we intentionally limit the number of cases we accept. This allows us to devote more time, attention, and resources to every client we represent.
No Fees Unless We Win. After an accident, the last thing you should have to worry about is how you will afford an attorney. Your focus should be on recovering from your injuries and taking care of yourself and your family – not paying legal fees.
At McCoy & McCoy, we offer free legal consultations to discuss your case and answer your questions. If we agree to represent you, you do not pay any upfront costs, retainers, or hourly fees. We handle your case on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fee is paid only if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Under Connecticut law, contingency fees in personal injury cases are regulated by statute and are based on a percentage of the recovery obtained. If there is no recovery, you do not owe us an attorney’s fee.
We believe every injury victim should have access to experienced legal representation regardless of their financial situation. Our goal is to make the legal process as stress-free as possible so you can focus on your recovery while we focus on your case.
