At David A. Zipfel & Associates, LLC, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means we aren’t compensated unless you win your case.
We represent clients in a range of personal injury matters, including but not limited to the following:
- Car accidents: Connecticut follows a fault-based or tort system, meaning injured parties can sue those at fault for auto accidents. Let us help you hold reckless or negligent parties accountable for your damages.
- Dog bites: In Connecticut, dog owners are responsible for their dogs’ behavior and are liable for damages if their dog bites someone and causes damage, unless the injured party was trespassing or teasing or abusing the dog. Talk with us if someone’s dog attacks and injures you.
- Slip and fall claims: Property owners should ensure that guests are aware of any hazards and take steps to minimize slip and tripping hazards. If you fall because of negligent conditions on someone’s property, our team can help you calculate your damages and pursue a claim.

Connecticut Negligence Law | Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-572h
Connecticut follows the modified comparative negligence principle. As outlined in Connecticut General Statute § 52-572h, contributory negligence doesn’t bar anyone from recovering damages. This means that a plaintiff (i.e., the party seeking compensation after an accident) can still file a suit if they are partially at fault for an accident. However, a plaintiff cannot be 51% or more at fault for the incident, and their settlement will be reduced by their portion of fault.
For example, a motorcyclist who was rear-ended by a distracted driver sought compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. Although the investigation revealed that the motorcyclist was not wearing a reflective vest and had made an unexpected lane change, he was found to be 40% responsible for the accident. Under Connecticut's comparative negligence statute, he was still eligible to recover damages. His total damages were calculated at $100,000, but because he was deemed 40% at fault, his settlement was reduced proportionally to $60,000.
