Our firm is once again sponsoring a hole at the Verilli-Belikin Charity Golf Tournament hosted by the Workers’ Compensation Section of the Connecticut Bar Association.

As the weather cools and the air becomes refreshing again it’s time to head out for a nice walk around town. Just as important as getting out and getting the fresh air your body needs, is making sure you make it home safely and avoid a Connecticut pedestrian accident.
Before you head out for a walk, make sure you consider these tips so you can stay safe while also enjoying your exercise:

Others may be due to a hazardous condition on someone else's property but do not result in a serious injury. Intuitively, people generally understand that neither of these situations justifies pursuing a claim. But when is a slip and fall legally actionable?
