Overview

At home in Connecticut, Claggett, Sykes & Garza (“CSG”) is one of the best personal injury trial firms in the country.

CSG and their team speak nationally to plaintiff’s trial lawyers, teaching cutting edge techniques that help secure full justice for victims.

In 2025, CSG's lawyers obtained a record-breaking $145 million verdict in a a workers' comp case, which was reported as the largest bad faith verdict in U.S. history.

Our clients love us, our colleagues respect us, and insurance companies fear us. We are lawyers for people who face medical bills and uncertainty about their future.

We are a trial law firm that fights back. We make history, day in and day out, because our mission is to be excellent in everything we do and to get the best result for every client. From compassion to client communication, there is no case too big or too small for our team. You won’t find us on billboards or buses (we spend our marketing dollars sponsoring road races, helping local charities, and producing free content to help those who have been injured), but you will find us in record books. We do all that we can to get the best results for every client, every day, and we prepare every case for trial.
