Our Law Firm Will Not Settle for Less Than You Deserve
At Trantolo & Trantolo, our attorneys are committed to helping cycling accident victims get justice. When you are hit by a careless or reckless driver, you have a right to seek monetary compensation for damages that include:
- Medical bills and expenses
- Lost current earnings and future income
- Pain and suffering

We understand that you are facing unexpected financial and legal challenges. Our goal is to help you get the results you need to recover from your injuries and return to your life.
Our Attorneys Identify the Cause of Your New Haven Bicycle Accident
Bicycle collisions usually happen when a driver is careless or inattentive. Cycling accidents in New Haven often occur when distracted or impatient drivers switch lanes or veer into the bike lane without signaling. Cyclists are also hit when motor vehicle operators fail to check for bikers before turning corners, exiting driveways, or opening car doors.
If you were injured while biking, Trantolo & Trantolo will investigate your accident and identify the parties responsible. We have extensive experience building cases against negligent drivers and negotiating with their insurers. Insurance companies are notoriously stubborn. Don’t Fight Solo – let us handle the negotiations and advocate for maximum compensation on your behalf.

What Makes Our Personal Injury Firm Different
When you hire Trantolo & Trantolo to represent your bike collision claim, you receive full-service legal support throughout your case. With more than 85 years of experience, we take on even the most challenging cases, with an outstanding record for success. We make a difference by:
Providing Personalized Attention
We assign a dedicated team of legal professionals to your case right away. They provide direct, consistent communication while they investigate, build, and defend your case for damages. If you have any questions or concerns, your team is always available.
While you focus on recovering your health, your dedicated team will:
- Compile evidence to prove fault
- Field all communication about your case
- File a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance
- Negotiate with insurance adjusters
- File a lawsuit and advocate for you at trial, if needed
You usually have only two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party per CT Gen. Stat. § 52-584, but you could have even less time depending on when your accident occurred. Avoid missing important legal deadlines by contacting our office as soon as possible after the collision. We can start work on your case while you get medical treatment.
Using Our Local Knowledge and Experience
We are a local firm with an office in the heart of New Haven, so we are familiar with the challenges cyclists face on the local roads. New Haven has bike accidents at almost every intersection downtown, but they tend to cluster around the New Haven Green and along busier roads like Whalley Avenue, Chapel Street, and northern Dixwell Avenue in Newhallville.
We know how to obtain evidence from nearby businesses, traffic cameras, witnesses and local authorities. Let us use our familiarity with the area to build a compelling case for compensation.
Helping You Get the Medical Treatment You Need
When you work with us, you receive focused attention from lawyers who care about your health and well-being. We can help you get a letter of protection (LOP), which allows you to obtain critical medical treatment while your case is ongoing. As your case progresses, we will communicate with your doctor to ensure we have the documentation we need to pursue your case.
Contributing to the Community
As an integral part of the community, Trantolo & Trantolo is committed to giving back. To address cyclist safety and encourage helmet use, particularly in at-risk children aged 5-14, Attorney Vincent Trantolo started an initiative called “Heads Up For Safety”. The program provides free bicycle helmets to kids who need them.
Whether we are litigating your case or helping our children stay safe, we are dedicated to making our community a safer place to live and play.
