Introduction
Founded in 1999 by Attorney Kevin Dehghani, this New Haven firm has grown over more than 25 years from a focused practice into a multi-disciplinary operation that has recovered millions for clients across personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and immigration law. Notable results include a $4.25 million negligent security recovery, a $3.4 million wrongful death settlement, and $1.9 million in a medical malpractice case. The firm serves New Haven County and the greater Connecticut area with evening and weekend appointments, hospital visits for seriously injured clients, and Spanish-speaking staff.
Practice Areas
Personal Injury
The firm handles a broad range of personal injury claims including car accidents, truck accidents, rideshare accidents, slip and fall incidents, dog bites, and construction accidents. Each case type requires specific knowledge of liability theories, insurance frameworks, and damage calculations. The attorneys pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists face elevated risk on Connecticut roads, being five times more likely to be injured and 26 times more likely to die in accidents compared to passenger vehicle occupants. The firm represents motorcycle accident victims, understanding that the most common cause of these collisions is inattentive drivers. Connecticut follows a contributory negligence system and requires minimum insurance coverage of 25/50/25 for liability.
Wrongful Death
When negligence or misconduct results in a fatality, the firm represents surviving family members. The $3.4 million wrongful death settlement reflects the firm’s ability to pursue significant recoveries in these cases.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice claims involving birth injuries, surgical errors, and hospital negligence require expert analysis and detailed understanding of medical standards of care. The firm’s $1.9 million malpractice settlement demonstrates experience in this technically demanding area of law.
Negligent Security
Property owners who fail to provide adequate security measures may be liable when crimes occur on their premises. The firm’s $4.25 million recovery in negligent security cases reflects specific expertise in holding property owners accountable for foreseeable criminal activity.
Workers’ Compensation
Employees injured on the job face a separate administrative system for obtaining benefits, distinct from personal injury litigation. The firm represents injured workers in workers’ compensation claims, helping them navigate the process, secure appropriate medical treatment, and obtain wage replacement benefits. Connecticut’s workers’ compensation system provides benefits regardless of fault, but insurance carriers frequently dispute the extent of injuries, the need for specific treatments, or the duration of disability benefits. Experienced legal representation ensures that injured workers’ claims are fully documented and aggressively pursued.
Social Security Disability
For individuals unable to work due to disability, the firm assists with Social Security disability claims at both the initial application stage and through the appeals process. These applications involve detailed medical documentation and strict procedural requirements. Many initial claims are denied, often due to incomplete medical records or failure to meet the Social Security Administration’s specific disability criteria. The firm helps clients compile the necessary evidence, prepare for hearings before administrative law judges, and pursue appeals when claims are wrongfully denied.
Immigration Law
Attorney Dehghani, admitted to the Connecticut Bar in 1997, provides immigration legal services ranging from visa applications to deportation defense. The practice includes appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, reflecting the ability to handle complex immigration matters at every level.
