Practice Areas Description

The Rotatori Law Firm provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Personal Injury

The Rotatori Law Firm handles a wide range of personal injury cases including, but not limited to the following:

* Workers' Compensation

Attorney Peter Rotatori, III aggressively practices workers' compensation injury law in New Haven, Fairfield and Hartford Counties in the State of Connecticut. He has represented the injured construction worker, factory worker, laborer, mechanic, office worker and professional in the workers' compensation forum for over twenty-two years. The work related compensation disability claims he has filed, litigated and resolved have included both specific accidental injuries and repetitive trauma claims.

* Auto Accidents

Attorney Peter Rotatori, III is a skilled Connecticut car accident lawyer and personal injury attorney who handles many motor vehicle accidents caused by negligent and reckless drivers. Motor vehicle accidents or "car crashes" are caused by rear end collisions, broad side collisions and head on collisions. Auto accidents can happen on the interstate, an entrance way to the interstate, at an intersection, on a local road or in a parking lot.

* Uninsured Motorist Law

An uninsured motor vehicle can be defined as a land motor vehicle that has no bodily injury liability policy at the time of an accident. An uninsured motor vehicle can also be a "hit and run" vehicle where the operator or owner cannot be identified and which hits, or causes an accident that results in bodily injury. Finally, an uninsured motor vehicle may be a motor vehicle which has a bodily injury liability policy at the time of the accident but the insuring company either denies coverage or has become insolvent. The Rotatori Law Firm can help you in complex matters of automobile insurance coverage and uninsured motorist law.

* Motorcycle Accidents

If you have suffered serious personal injuries in a motorcycle accident or motorcycle collision due to the negligence of another motor vehicle operator, you need the experience of a Connecticut motorcycle accident lawyer like Peter Rotatori, III of The Rotatori Law Firm to help you. Our experience in handling motorcycle collisions is that many motorcycle accidents are caused by excessive speed, wheelies, lane splitting, motorcycle racing, turning corners at a high rate of speed, tailgating, inexperienced riders, riders not knowing how to properly handle a corner, a roadway obstruction, roadway debris, inattentive tractor trailer operation, intoxicated driving and negligently maintained equipment.

* Medical / Dental Malpractice

Peter Rotatori, III will investigate the facts, find the right medical experts, take adverse depositions and try an exhaustive medical malpractice case to verdict. The following types of cases, although not exhaustive, may warrant investigation: a mammogram performed with too much compression or at an improper angulation resulting in severe permanent breast pain and permanent breast injury; a failure to diagnose cancer which increases a patients risk of death, or even results in death; inadequate emergency room care resulting in serious medical complications or death; overly aggressive dental bridge extraction by a dentist resulting in permanent nerve injury to a patient's mouth and face; improper dental drill performance resulting in nerve damage, and facial scarring; and, a failure to properly deliver a child that results in permanent birth defects.

* Nursing Home Negligence

Nursing home negligence can frequently be the result of improper facility patient intake risk assessment. Often, there can be complex legal questions on whether a breach of the standard of care is a case of ordinary negligence or malpractice against a health care provider. A breach of care against a health care provider will require a matched up mirror imaged expert or multiple experts to prove the breach of the prevailing standard of health care and the proximate cause of personal injuries, damages or even death.

* Premises Liability

A defect created or maintained by an individual or legal entity in control of the premises with actual or constructive knowledge of that defect results in defendant liability. The Rotatori Law Firm has successfully prosecuted many slip and fall personal injury claims and premises liability defect cases against homeowners, landlords, local cities and towns, snow removal contractors and large retail chains. These retail chains have included K-Mart, Walmart, Big Y Foods and Home Depot. In doing so, we have recovered monetary damages for our clients.

* Dog Bites / Animal Injuries

A personal injury caused by a dog, horse or livestock is a serious personal injury matter that requires immediate fact investigation. Talk to Attorney Peter Rotatori, III at The Rotatori Law Firm to explore and/or secure money damages and peace of mind for your injuries. A homeowner liability policy may exclude insurance coverage for all dogs or various types of dog if there is not a special insurance rider. This can result in no liability insurance coverage. The attorney representing the injured child or adult needs to find out if the defendant dog keeper or owner has a valid liability policy that will indemnify the defendant owner or keeper for damages caused by the dog.

* Product Liability

When a manufacturer, retailer, or distributor places a dangerous and defective product in the stream of commerce an adult or child can be seriously injured. If this happens to you, you need an experienced personal injury product liability law firm like The Rotatori Law Firm to prosecute your product liability case caused by that dangerous product, defective product or improperly packaged product. The defective product injury may have happened at home, work, or at a retail store. The injury may have been caused by food, a hand tool, power tool, home appliance, child's toy, crib, cooking utensil, lawn equipment, a defective automobile seatbelt, or by an airbag that failed to deploy.

* Catastrophic Injuries

Spinal cord injuries, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, traumatic brain injuries and amputations are injuries that fall into the category of a catastrophic injury. They may be the result of an automobile accident, a work related injury, a defective product or medical malpractice. The Rotatori Law Firm will work on your behalf to fully explore the extent of your catastrophic personal injury/injuries so that you can recover full damages under the law. Speak to Peter Rotatori, III if you or a family member has suffered a catastrophic injury and need help recovering your monetary damages.

* Wrongful Death

The Rotatori Law Firm has handled wrongful death cases caused by family members that have tragically, negligently and recklessly driven their automobile over another immediate family member. The Rotatori Law Firm has also handled wrongful death legal matters caused by utility pole worker product liability bucket failure.

* Arbitration/Mediation

Many clients often ask us whether their personal injury cases can be arbitrated rather than proceed to a civil jury trial. The answer to that question lies in the willingness of all parties to agree to proceed to arbitration and waive their constitutional right to trial by jury. Arbitration is a creature of contract. Once it is properly invoked, it is a cost effective, intelligent and time efficient method to resolve a legal dispute. The Rotatori Law Firm is an advocate of private personal injury binding arbitration. We have frequently arbitrated both automobile personal injury cases and premises liability claims.

* Tractor Trailer & Truck Accidents

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle collision due to the negligence and recklessness of a Connecticut truck driver, trucking company or tractor trailer, you need a truck accident lawyer like Peter Rotatori, III of The Rotatori Law Firm to help you collect money damages for your personal injuries. When an 80,000 pound truck is involved in a collision with a car, motorcycle, SUV or small pick-up truck, the physical damage forces at work can result in devastating personal injuries to all automobile occupants including the driver and passengers. These injuries can often include catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and serious low back and neck injuries requiring spinal disc removal surgeries and fusions.

- Dram Shop Liability

If you or a family member has been injured by way of a drunk driver and you reasonably suspect that the driver had been drinking at a liquor establishment before the accident occurred, talk to Attorney Peter Rotatori, III of The Rotatori Law Firm. Attorney Rotatori will be happy to discuss with you your underlying automobile accident case, dram shop liability and the reasonable likelihood of both investigating and proving a dram shop case against a seller of alcohol.

* Pedestrian Accidents

Personal injuries to the victim may include catastrophic injuries such as a spinal cord injury, amputation or a traumatic brain injury. The injured plaintiff/ pedestrian may also suffer orthopedic injuries to their knees, neck and low back. Orthopedic injuries may require surgeries such as cervical and low back fusions and/or discectomy. The Rotatori Law Firm has handled many motor vehicle collision cases where a pedestrian has been struck by a car, truck, police cruiser, ambulance, and or livery service.

- Criminal Law

Peter Rotatori, Jr. is a former special State of Connecticut public defender. He has over 48 years of criminal legal experience including, both felonies and misdemeanors.
