About Silver Golub & Teitell:

For over 50 years, Silver Golub & Teitell has positively impacted our community by representing plaintiffs in complex litigation and trials involving serious personal and financial injuries, including catastrophic medical malpractice, product liability, class actions, and other sophisticated civil cases. Although SGT is a firm with deep Connecticut roots, the cases it litigates have national implications. For example, SGT’s trial lawyers have represented victims of sexual abuse and assault, including numerous former participants in the Boy Scouts of America; SGT won a $12 million jury verdict on behalf a former Boy Scout. SGT also served as lead private counsel for the State of Connecticut from 1996-98 in its action against the American tobacco industry as part of the nationwide litigation, resulting in Connecticut receiving a $3.6 billion share of the $246 billion settlement, as well as a $370 million bonus attributable to SGT’s work.

SGT also represented over 70 Connecticut municipalities that lost money as a result of the Enron scandal in Town of New Hartford, et al v. Connecticut Resources Recovery Authority, No. UWY-CV-04-0185580S, and has represented the retirement funds of the employees of the Town of Fairfield, Connecticut in actions seeking to cover investment losses suffered in connection with the Bernie Madoff fraud.

SGT’s commitment to helping families in cases involving birth injuries, failure to diagnose illness, wrongful death, and other catastrophic events, and the pursuit of accountability that goes with it, has resulted in significant monetary and emotional relief for our clients.
