Personal Injury Lawyer in Bristol, CT

Introduction

Jazlowiecki & Jazlowiecki LLC has been based in Bristol since Edward Jazlowiecki founded the firm in 1974. For over 50 years, we have represented seriously injured people throughout Bristol and Hartford County in complex personal injury litigation — in the courts, against the insurance companies, and in multi-party cases that most local firms are not equipped to handle.

Our office is located at 11 Lincoln Ave, Suite 6, Bristol, CT 06010. Personal injury cases arising in Bristol are filed in the New Britain Superior Court (New Britain Judicial District), which covers Bristol, Berlin, Burlington, New Britain, Newington, Plainville, Plymouth, Rocky Hill, Southington, and Wethersfield. When you are dealing with a serious injury, having an attorney who knows this community, this courthouse, and these roads matters.

Compensation

What Compensation Can I Recover After a Serious Injury in Bristol?

  • Medical expenses — past and future treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and specialist care
  • Lost wages and lost earning capacity — if your injuries affect your ability to work
  • Pain and suffering — physical pain and emotional distress caused by the injury
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Wrongful death damages — funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship

Connecticut is an at-fault state, meaning the party responsible for causing the accident is liable for these damages. Our attorneys work to identify every available source of compensation — including the at-fault party's insurance, your own underinsured motorist coverage, and any applicable commercial insurance policies.

Local Risk

Bristol's Most Dangerous Roads and Accident Locations

Bristol's road network includes several corridors with elevated accident rates. I-84, which cuts through the northern edge of Bristol and Hartford County, is one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in Connecticut — carrying high volumes of commercial truck traffic between Waterbury and Hartford and generating serious accidents at its access points and merging zones.

Route 44, running through Bristol and into Hartford County, has been identified as one of the most dangerous roads in Connecticut, with a high crash rate at the Route 44 and Main Street intersection in Hartford. Other high-risk locations include:

  • Route 6 (Farmington Avenue) — one of Bristol's busiest commercial corridors, with frequent intersection accidents
  • Route 72 — a primary east-west connector linking Bristol to New Britain and I-84, with significant truck traffic
  • Middle Street — a busy local route with documented serious accident history
  • Brook Street — residential and commercial corridor with pedestrian exposure
  • Route 229 — a rural route with limited visibility and frequent serious crashes

If you were injured on any of these roads, our attorneys can investigate the accident scene, obtain traffic camera footage, and consult with accident reconstruction experts to build the strongest possible case.
