About Attorney Eric Reinken

Attorney Eric Reinken has more than 30 years of experience handling personal injury, car accidents, slip and fall, construction accidents, sexual abuse and child sex abuse cases in the Connecticut state. His legal skills and encyclopedic knowledge of the law have helped countless accident and abuse victims receive the compensation and justice they deserve. His compassion and dedication to getting justice for those who have been victimized by insurance companies, negligent drivers and unfair or unlawful practices was forged by his tenure as Assistant Town Attorney for the Town of Greenwich. He fights tirelessly for those he represents. Eric Reinken is licensed in the State of Connecticut, the Federal courts in New York and Connecticut and the 2d Circuit Court of Appeals. Eric Reinken was appointed the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Board of Governors, Fairfield county Bar Association, Civil Litigation Committee and the American Association for Justice.

Recently, Attorney Reinken and his firm have won millions of dollars for victims including: a $20,000,000 verdict for a victim of childhood sexual abuse, a $1.1 million award for a woman who suffered crippling knee injuries after a car accident in Kent Connecticut, $600,000 for a woman who required neck surgery after a car accident, $380,000 to a victim of a dog bite, $1,000,000 for injuries resulting in partial amputation of a man’s foot from a large splinter on a pallet, $1,000,000 for a gentleman who injured his back at work, $580,000 for a victim who suffered injuries falling down stairs, $500,000 for injuries incurred in a rear end motor vehicle accident, $425,000 verdict for a man who was hit by a van and several other large settlements and verdicts.

The Reinken Law Firm is firmly committed to helping victims of sexual abuse and their families gain the necessary confidence and strength to confront the responsible parties and hold them accountable. They understand that the emotional and psychological injuries suffered by sexual abuse victims, especially those victims who are too young to fully comprehend what has happened to them, can last for decades and impact every area of their life.

The Reinken Law Firm won a $20 million-dollar verdict for a victim, a woman who was abused by her father when she was a child in Stamford. It was the largest abuse verdict in the state and most likely the largest verdict in this district. Unfortunately, sexual abuse can occur in hospitals, schools, churches and other places where children are supposed to be safe. Eric Reinken will obtain justice for victims in any type of sexual abuse case and will treat these survivors with compassion, patience and understanding.

Recently, the Reinken Law Firm brought suit against the Boy Scouts of America. On behalf of 17 scouts, abused by a pedophile who was a scout leader. It was the biggest single case ever brought against the Boy Scouts. Eric Reinken will represent victims of pedophiles, such as Boy Scouts and obtain the justice and provide the acknowledgment that these brave survivors deserve

Eric Reinken and his firm are also dedicated to the victims of hazing abuse in college and schools. They will use every resource at their disposal to help victims of illegal, abusive and destructive practices get justice and obtain compensation from the responsible parties. If you or someone you love is in need of an experienced and knowledgeable attorney in Connecticut, there is no better choice than Eric Reinken.
