About James Smith

A personal injury attorney with 24 years’ experience, James K. Smith takes great satisfaction tipping the scales of justice in favor of individuals who have suffered a personal injury.

Insurance companies are sophisticated businesses that handle thousands of injury claims each year. Insurance adjusters often try to take recorded statements from injured individuals, sometimes tricking them into making damaging statements before they have a chance to consult an attorney. These statements can significantly impair the injured person’s right to full compensation for the injury.

Smith believes that the assistance of an attorney is vital to ensuring a just and fair outcome in personal injury cases.

Auto accidents can turn a person’s life upside down: medical bills and physical pain, missed work, lost wages, doctor visits, and of course the loss of the motor vehicle. Smith is proud of his law firm’s ability to make life easier for injured clients. He can help them obtain auto repairs, and to get the medical care they need to feel better while their case is pending.

“Knowing that our team has been able to help someone whose life has been turned upside down by physical injuries, that we’ve been able to make it better for them by protecting their rights when they felt the system was against them, that is a great feeling,” Smith says.

Smith is active coaching sports in the Danbury community. With many years of coaching youth baseball, soccer and basketball behind him, Smith currently manages two baseball teams: the New Milford Hurricanes in the Northwest Connecticut Connie Mack League, and the Washington (Ct.) team in the Northeast Baseball Association’s Over 27 League.
