Diminished Value
When your car gets into an accident it loses value even though it has been repaired! That value is called diminished value and often you are owed it from the person who caused the accident. Sometimes insurance companies say they won’t pay, or ask whether you were planning to sell your car. Neither matter. Connecticut law provides for the recovery of diminished value when someone illegally hits your car.
Malpractice
Sometimes professionals make mistakes. It happens even to the brightest. Luckily, as a society we have planned for such mistakes. Many professions handle high value situations, whether it be a legal case, a person, a building, or a nursing home, but things go wrong and people get hurt, sometimes literally and sometimes just in the pocket book. Either way, when this happens often there is insurance there to help right the wrong. Forrest Law is here to listen to your case, no matter how large or small and determine if it is something we will handle or do we need to make sure you go to the person best suited for your case.
