Committed to Achieving Your Success
Personal Attention from Your Attorney
At Eddy & Associates, every case is spearheaded by Attorney Deborah D. Eddy. Clients benefit from the resources of a qualified support team, while Deborah remains personally involved from consultation through resolution. Your case is never handed off or forgotten.
Bilingual Staff Support
Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking staff are available during business hours for client intake and case communication. Bilingual team members help Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking clients understand each step of the claims process, from the initial consultation through resolution. This is staff-level language support, not a representation of attorney fluency.
No-Recovery, No-Fee Representation
Eddy & Associates handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation for you. There is no upfront cost for legal representation, and your free initial consultation carries no obligation to hire the firm.
Remote-Friendly Consultations
Eddy & Associates offers phone and video consultations for clients who cannot visit an office in person. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a disability, or located far from Westport or Elmhurst, the firm can evaluate your case and keep you informed without requiring office visits.
What Makes Us Different
Accessible & Responsive
All calls can be received around the clock, and a staff member returns the call promptly. Clients receive direct contact information from their attorney. You are never left guessing about the status of your case.
Coordinated Medical Care
The firm helps clients access appropriate medical care and organize treatment-related records after an injury. This may include helping clients locate providers, track appointments, collect medical records, and understand how medical documentation fits into the claims process. The firm does not direct medical treatment or make medical decisions.
Direct Attorney Representation
Your case is handled by Attorney Deborah D. Eddy and her qualified team from consultation through resolution. The firm does not hand off client files to paralegals for key decisions or delegate case strategy to outside attorneys. You know who is responsible for your case at every stage.
Spanish- and Portuguese-Speaking Staff
Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking staff are available during business hours for client intake and case communication. This is a staff-level service, not a representation of attorney fluency.
Fee Transparency
Eddy & Associates is upfront about costs. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation. The fee structure and any case-related costs are explained during the initial consultation before you make any commitment.
Negotiation & Trial Readiness
Attorney Deborah D. Eddy has recovered millions of dollars for injured clients throughout her career. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances. The firm prepares every case as if it will go to trial, which strengthens its position when negotiating with insurance companies and opposing counsel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Connecticut?
Connecticut applies strict filing deadlines to personal injury claims, and the deadline depends on the claim type, the defendant, and when the injury was discovered. Additional outside limits can apply. Missing a deadline can end a claim regardless of its strength. Contact an attorney about the deadline that applies to your specific case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?
New York applies strict filing deadlines to personal injury claims, and the deadline varies by claim type and by who the defendant is. Claims involving a government entity, public authority, or transit agency generally carry a much shorter advance notice requirement. Contact an attorney about the deadline that applies to your specific case.
What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney at Eddy & Associates?
Eddy & Associates handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation for you. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation. Case costs and fee details are explained during the consultation so you understand the financial terms before making any commitment.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Connecticut or New York?
Seek medical attention first, even if you feel fine. Call the police to create an official report. Document the scene with photos if you are able. Exchange information with the other driver. Do not sign any documents from the insurance company. Contact a personal injury attorney before giving a recorded statement to any insurer.
Can I still file a personal injury claim if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey all reduce damages by the injured person’s share of fault, but the rules differ. New York allows recovery regardless of the percentage of fault for non-motor-vehicle claims. In motor-vehicle cases, New York law (CPLR 1411(b), effective May 2026) bars recovery when the injured person’s share of fault exceeds the defendant’s. Connecticut and New Jersey can bar recovery when the injured person’s share of fault is too high. An attorney can evaluate how fault allocation may affect your case.
Does Eddy & Associates offer services in Spanish and Portuguese?
Yes. Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking staff are available during business hours for client intake and case communication. This staff-level support helps Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking clients understand the claims process and stay informed about their case.
Does the New Jersey lawsuit option on my auto policy affect my claim?
It can. Every New Jersey auto policy carries an election between a limitation on lawsuit option and an unrestricted option, and that choice controls whether a claim for pain and suffering is available. The election is locked for any accident that has already happened. Send the policy declarations page to Eddy & Associates so the question can be answered early.

Giving Back to the Community
For me, practicing law has always been about helping people. That commitment does not end when I leave the office. I believe in giving back to the community and supporting organizations that make a real difference in people’s lives. I am proud to support Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the ASPCA, Children’s Blood Foundation, and the ACLU, organizations whose missions reflect values that are important to me: compassion, hope, justice, and protecting those who need a voice. Whether I am advocating for a client or supporting these causes, my goal is the same: to make a positive impact wherever I can.
