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.

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.

Getting a fair price for a totaled vehicle in today’s used car market
Posted on Apr 01, 2022
For consumers who own or finance the purchase of their vehicle, the answer is clear: your total loss value should be commensurate with the market increases, and thus you should receive a greater sum for your total loss. This is consistent with the conceptual purpose of our legal system, which is to put a victim of a loss back to the position he or she would have been in had the wrong not been committed.

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.
- Robert T.
Couldn’t have been happier with the services I received!
I contacted BWP in June 2019, after I was hit by a drunk driver. John Wynne was my attorney. I couldn’t have been happier with the services I received. Everyone I dealt with was very professional and made sure I had all the help I needed. I highly recommend this law firm.

Quick and consistent.
John Buckley was quick and consistent in relaying information to me regarding litigation, and he and his staff were always very supportive of any requests I made. John’s experience and strategic expertise made the difference in dealing with the insurance company, and we achieved the best possible outcome thanks to his vigilance. Cannot recommend BWP highly enough!
- 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.

Mr. Parese is very kind, patient, honest and extremely knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend his help to people in need.
