Department of Insurance Flubs Opportunity to Protect Consumers. Injustice Prevails.

Posted on Aug 28, 2023

This is not the first time our Insurance Department has sought to insulate the insurance industry from legal accountability. I presume the cost benefit analysis is one premised on giving insurance companies greater latitude with regulatory compliance in order to keep jobs here in Connecticut. Whether letting insurers break our laws in order to keep jobs here makes any sense is a political calculation above my paygrade. But seeing it over and over from this side of the table is certainly frustrating.

Take a look at your car insurance - do you have enough Liability coverage?

Posted on Jul 22, 2022

Liability insurance should reflect an asset risk assessment on the part of the insured. Risk is a function of your personal assets and exposure. The more you have, the more coverage you should purchase to protect your assets. Your coverage should at least equal your personal assets such as real estate equity, savings and retirement accounts.

Today's Business: Keep you and your guests safe — and out of court

Posted on Jul 09, 2022

Assessing legal exposure requires a look into what “duty” is owed under the circumstances. That is, what level of care is owed to persons on one’s premises. Different circumstances command different levels of care. There are effectively three categories of people for whom a duty is contemplated: invitees, licensees and trespassers.

Client Reviews of Our Personal Injury Attorneys

Friendly, professional and VERY responsive!

Attorney John Buckley was highly recommended to me by quite a few people and upon my first meeting to discuss my case, I knew immediately that I was in good hands. He took his time to explain everything to me in great detail and stayed in communication throughout my entire case. His staff was also extremely friendly, professional and VERY responsive! I actually never had to reach out about my case because they over-communicated with me from beginning to end. My accident was very unfortunate, but I’m extremely grateful I was working with Attorney Buckley through it all! I highly recommend this law firm!!!

- Jamie B.

Respectful, extremely knowledgeable, & understanding

Recently engaged BWP concerning a motor vehicle accident. From the initial consult, and continuing throughout the entire process, John Parese and the entire staff were respectful, extremely knowledgeable, understanding of my goals and supportive to work towards achieving the best possible outcome. It was a very seamless, friendly relationship and a firm that I would highly recommend to anyone.

- Richard

Thorough, caring, and patient.

I don't have the words to describe how wonderful John Parese was to work with. He took my family and I under his wing during a difficult time. He was by our side for 3 years while I was treated. He was thorough, caring, and patient. He was always there to answer questions and made us feel that he was in our corner. John explained our options and walked us through the process many times. It was WAY outside of my comfort zone to go to litigation, but he believed in me and my case. He was phenomenal in court and I was very proud to be part of his team. We are forever thankful and would recommend him to anyone!

- The Yanellis

Kind, patient, honest and extremely knowledgeable.

John Parese is an excellent attorney who provided care that was needed at an extremely difficult and a long period of time. He and his team are very dedicated and gave professional guidance in various aspects. I am very grateful for having received a degree of release for the painful accident, and trauma which was unfortunate and terrifying. Mr. Parese is very kind, patient, honest and extremely knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend his help to people in need.

John Parese is an amazing attorney! He constantly checked in with me to make sure I was feeling better after my accident and gave me updates on where we were in the process. I never doubted that I was in good hands. Thank you John and also to your team! Two thumbs up!

Excellent attorney who always fights to protect his clients.

John has assisted me with several issues. He is an excellent attorney who always fights to protect his clients. I was able to recover medically knowing John was fully handling the insurance and issues with my case. I will continue to use him in the future.
