Very very grateful I was referred to Etemi Law. Lou, Ron & Michelle made me feel like family, and this may sound crazy but I’m going to miss them. I can tell you with certainty that they are all great at what they do, and I would not hesitate at all to recommend them to friends and family. 100% the best, not even a close second to Etemi Law.

I can’t say enough great things about Lou and his entire team. From the very beginning, they treated me with professionalism, respect, and genuine care. After my car accident, I was stressed and unsure about the process, but Lou and his crew made everything feel manageable and kept me informed every step of the way. Their communication was excellent, always answering my questions and making sure I understood what was going on. You can tell they truly fight for their clients and don’t settle for less than what you deserve. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, they were able to reach a settlement for my case, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Lou and his team. They really go above and beyond.

Ron and V were the best possible team to land with when I was hit head on. I was referred to Etemi by a friend, somewhat out of necessity, and again...can't imagine I would have had a better support team or outcome. Not only did they educate me on the process, but also understood and planned for how insurance companies are trained to approach my specific case. If you are in a serious accident, Etemi deserves an interview to handle your situation. Thanks again guys.

Why Choose Etemi Law Injury Lawyers

Waterbury Roots, Connecticut Reach

At Etemi Law Injury Lawyers, we are proud to represent injured people and families in Waterbury, New Haven County, and communities throughout Connecticut. Our founders, brothers Ron and Lou Etemi, were born and raised in Waterbury, attended the city’s public schools, and grew up in a local immigrant family. Our connection to the area shapes how we treat every client: with personal attention, clear communication, and a commitment to the community we call home. We maintain offices in Waterbury, Watertown, and New Haven, making our legal team accessible to clients across the region. When someone needs a personal injury lawyer, we provide local representation backed by a statewide litigation practice.

Decades of Combined Legal Experience

We bring more than 30 years of combined experience to personal injury claims involving car accidents, commercial truck crashes, wrongful death, medical malpractice, defective products, dog attacks, workplace accidents, and catastrophic injuries. Founder Ron Etemi has practiced law since 2010, litigated hundreds of cases, and recovered millions of dollars through settlements and verdicts. Before founding the firm, he worked in insurance defense and served as an appellate law clerk, giving us valuable insight into how insurers and corporate defendants evaluate claims. Partner Lou Etemi has represented injured people since 2016 and has helped hundreds of clients resolve their cases. Together, we prepare every matter with detailed evidence, strategic negotiation, and trial in mind.

Proven Results for Injured Clients

Our featured case results total more than $42 million, reflecting our work in cases ranging from motor vehicle collisions to life-changing injuries and wrongful deaths. Those results include a $24.5 million wrongful death judgment, a $5.5 million wrongful death judgment, a $2.49 million commercial motor vehicle recovery, a $1.6 million tractor-trailer result, and a $1.2 million motor vehicle arbitration award. We have also achieved substantial recoveries in car accident, spinal injury, hit-and-run, and dog bite cases. Although every claim is different and prior results cannot predict a future outcome, we bring the same preparation and determination to each client we represent.

Start With a Free Consultation

We understand that medical expenses, lost income, and calls from insurance companies can place additional pressure on an injured person. That is why we offer free consultations, remain available 24/7, and handle injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, so clients pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for them. If you are searching for a Waterbury personal injury attorney or a New Haven County injury law firm, contact Etemi Law Injury Lawyers today to discuss your case and legal options.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim or lawsuit?
arrow right arrow right

In Connecticut, many car accident lawsuits must be filed within approximately two years of the injury, although exceptions and shorter notice requirements may apply depending on the circumstances. We begin investigating promptly to preserve evidence and identify applicable deadlines. Etemi Law Injury Lawyers has obtained car accident results including a $1.2 million arbitration award and a $1.1 million recovery involving neck and back injuries, although every case is different. Contact us today for a free consultation about your car accident claim.

Who can be held responsible for a slip and fall?
arrow right arrow right

We may pursue a claim against a property owner, tenant, business operator, property manager, maintenance contractor, or another party that created a dangerous condition or controlled the area where the fall occurred. We examine who was responsible for the property, whether that party knew or should have known about the hazard, and whether reasonable steps were taken to address it. Contact us today so we can review your slip-and-fall accident and identify the potentially responsible parties.

Can a trucking company be held liable for the driver’s actions in a trucking accident?
arrow right arrow right

Yes, we may hold a trucking company liable when its driver causes an accident while performing job duties, and the company may also be responsible for negligent hiring, training, supervision, maintenance, loading, or safety practices. Etemi Law Injury Lawyers has obtained a $2.49 million result in a commercial motor vehicle collision and a $1.6 million result in a tractor-trailer accident, although prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Contact us today for a free consultation about your trucking accident case.

Who can file a wrongful death claim?
arrow right arrow right

In Connecticut, we generally bring a wrongful death claim through the executor or administrator of the deceased person’s estate rather than through an individual family member acting alone. We help families understand who may serve as the estate representative, what damages they may pursue, and whether related claims are available. Etemi Law Injury Lawyers has obtained wrongful death judgments of $24.5 million and $5 million, although every case depends on its unique facts. Contact us today to discuss your family’s legal options in a confidential consultation.

Does homeowners or renters insurance cover dog bite injuries?
arrow right arrow right

Homeowners or renters insurance often provides liability coverage for dog bite injuries, but available compensation depends on the policy limits, exclusions, location of the attack, and other circumstances. We review every potentially applicable policy and pursue compensation for medical bills, scarring, lost income, emotional trauma, and other damages. Our dog bite case results include a $475,000 recovery, although past results do not predict the outcome of another case. Contact us today for a free review of your dog bite claim.
