Since Norwalk is a City, it has many busy streets which are potential hot spots for auto collisions. The post road runs the length of Norwalk and is called Connecticut Avenue on the Western side of the city but Westport Avenue on the eastern side of the City. West Avenue runs from the Belden Avenue area into South Norwalk and has its share of auto collisions. Also, East Avenue runs along the eastern side of town where it intersects with Intestate 95 at Exit sixteen. At this intersection, you can have a lot of auto collisions particularly at rush hour in the afternoon. At this time traffic gets backed up as cars try to exit the highway and make a left onto East Avenue but the light does not allow enough traffic to go through and auto collisions occur. Norwalk Car Accident lawyer Kevin L. Hoffkins has personally litigated several cases involving traffic collisions on East Avenue just off of Exit sixteen and on I95 in Norwalk.

People from Norwalk who are involved in an auto collision in Norwalk will most likely have their case heard in the Superior Court for the Judicial District of Stamford/Norwalk at Stamford. The address of this court is 123 Hoyt Street, in Stamford, Connecticut. Although the issue of where a case is heard can also depend on where the parties live. If one of the parties to a lawsuit live in another county or judicial district, they could file the case in the court that serves the other judicial district.

In addition to auto collisions, Norwalk sees plenty of litigation from injuries that occur on commercial property. Whenever any individual is injured from a trip and fall on another person’s, or a business’s property, then there is the potential for liability. Major commercial properties in Norwalk include Home Depot, Lowe’s, Stop & Shop, Shoprite Shopping center, Stew Leonard’s Dairy Store and the Best Bury shopping center.

To succeed on such a claim you must also show that the condition that you tripped on was unreasonably dangerous for the conditions. The owner must also have had notice of the dangerous condition. For instance, if a slippery substance is spilled on the floor of a supermarket, and a person falls on it one minute later, then the owner would claim he had no notice and no liability. The difficulty with these cases is proving notice. Attorney Kevin L. Hoffkins has had substantial success in proving notice in slip and fall cases.
