Philosophy
Attorney Cavanaugh’s mission is to provide compassionate legal counsel to his clients and ensure work tirelessly until they receive the financial settlement that they are rightfully owed. From the initial consultation to the final proceedings, Attorney Cavanaugh exclusively works with his clients so they receive the highest level of counsel at all times. He is committed to building strong, long-lasting relationships with his clients and delivering a pragmatic approach to legal representation.
Your case is only as good as your lawyer. Most people are surprised to learn that it’s common for your case to be assigned to someone other than the lawyer you speak or meet with, such as a junior associate or paralegal. Delegating tasks to other workers at the law firm helps them drive down costs and save time. However, this is largely beneficial to the practice and not the client. At Attorney Cavanaugh’s practice, you can rely on one point-of-contact throughout your case.

If you’ve experienced a personal injury in Connecticut and you’re considering legal assistance, we can help.
We pride ourselves on focusing solely on personal injury law.

From this experience we understand what it takes to build the strongest possible cases for our clients; and we are committed to and effective at obtaining the maximum compensation for personal injuries, including compensation for pain and suffering, lost income and lost earning capacity, as well as past and future medical expenses.

That is why having a legal expert on your side can mean the difference between financial distress and being able to rebuild your life and move forward, especially when you’re up against an insurance company, a hospital or a large corporation.
Representative Experience
Here are just a few of the cases that we have handled recently:
- $1,875,000 Grocery Store Injury: A 49-year-old woman developed complex regional pain syndrome after her ankle was struck by a shopping cart being pushed by a grocery store employee. Recovery amount: $1,875,000.
- $1,450,000 Car Accident Injury: A 39-year old man was rear-ended in stop and go traffic on I-95 in Stratford, Connecticut. The liability carrier, Allstate, defended the claim on the ground that the “minor impact” from behind did not cause the client’s disc herniation and subsequent surgery. Received $1,450,000.00 settlement at mediation.
- $1,100,000 Emotional Distress: $1,100,000.00 verdict for emotional distress and violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act against a local funeral home for mishandling the remains of our client’s deceased husband.
- $450,000 Car Accident Injury: $450,000.00 arbitration award for a 34-year old man with a long history of back pain, who was involved in a relatively minor rear-end collision while driving a truck. As a result of this collision, the client developed a neurogenic bladder with episodes of incontinence. Despite the complex medical history and difficult proof of such a private condition, the case resolved for an amount that represented fair compensation for his medical expenses and pain and suffering.
- $140,000 – Nursing Home Injury: As a result of an employee’s failure to warn of recent floor mopping, a 55-year-old woman sustained a torn rotator cuff when she fell while visiting in a nursing home. Recovery amount after judicial mediation: $140,000.
