You trusted a doctor or hospital — and something went wrong that never should have. While you deal with the damage, their malpractice insurance company is already building a defense. Attorney Tom Ganim will evaluate your malpractice claim and help make them accountable for their negligence. Free consultation. No fee unless we win.
Not every bad outcome is malpractice — medicine has risks. Malpractice happens when a provider's care falls below the accepted standard and a patient is harmed because of it. Every Connecticut case has to prove four things:
A doctor-patient relationship existed — the provider owed you competent care.
The care you received fell below what a reasonably skilled provider would have done.
That failure — not your underlying condition — directly caused your injury.
You suffered real harm: new injuries, added treatment, lost income, lasting pain.
Hospitals, physicians, and their insurance carriers have entire legal teams. If a provider's negligence hurt you or someone you love anywhere in Connecticut, Tom evens the odds.
Cancer, stroke, heart attack, and infections missed or caught too late to treat.

Talk to Tom →Connecticut puts strict deadlines and extra requirements on medical malpractice claims that don't apply to ordinary injury cases. Miss one, and even a strong case can be thrown out.
You generally have two years from the date you discovered — or reasonably should have discovered — the injury to file. And no matter what, Connecticut's repose period cuts claims off three years from the negligent act itself. The earlier Tom gets the records, the more options you have.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584Before a malpractice suit can proceed, Connecticut requires a written opinion from a similar health care provider confirming there appears to be evidence of negligence. Tom secures the right expert opinion and files it correctly — one more thing you don't have to worry about.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-190aMedical records get amended. Memories fade. The hospital's insurance company starts working immediately. What you do in the first weeks can decide your case.
See a different provider to treat the harm and get an independent look at what happened.
Ask for your complete medical records now — you have a legal right to them.
Dates, names, what you were told, symptoms. A simple timeline becomes powerful evidence.
Don't give recorded statements or accept anything from the provider's insurance company.
One free call. Tom tells you straight whether you have a case — and what it's worth.
Tom reviews what happened and gives you an honest read — no obligation.
Complete records are obtained and reviewed with qualified medical experts.
The required good-faith certificate is secured and your claim is filed on time.
Tom pushes the malpractice carrier for full value — and goes to court if they won't pay it.
A settlement or verdict that accounts for everything — with no fee unless we win.
Malpractice doesn't just cause an injury — it creates a second round of bills, lost time, and pain on top of whatever brought you to the doctor in the first place. Compensation can include:
"Tom and his team are amazing people. They make you feel part of their family. Understanding and professional. I would highly recommend this firm."
"I was pleased with how my case was handled. Everyone was helpful in moving it along in a timely manner and kept me informed."
"Thomas and his legal team are true professionals. They answered all my questions, addressed my concerns, and always provided prompt updates."
