How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in CT?
The statute of limitations sets the deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit. In Connecticut, you have two years from the date of the injury to file suit.
There is an exception called the “discovery rule.” If you did not discover your injury until later, the period might not start to run until the discovery date. However, this exception cannot extend your deadline to more than three years after the incident date.
The two-year statute of limitations also applies in wrongful death cases and begins to run on the date of death. However, you must file within five years of the incident for which you claim damages, even if that date is within two years of death.
It’s essential to file your claim as soon as possible. Doing so ensures you don’t miss the deadline and avoid issues that may prolong your case. For instance, evidence is easier to obtain immediately after the accident. Over time, it is more likely to fade.
Contested liability and complex cases with high damage amounts may make the case more difficult to argue, but an experienced lawyer can help you minimize delays.
Our firm has the resources to build your case efficiently and effectively, preventing insurance companies from prolonging your case unfairly. Your attorney will gather the necessary evidence and communicate with the right parties to move your case forward, helping you to secure a settlement as quickly as possible.
How Much Can I Receive in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
The compensation you can collect depends on the nature and extent of your injury and associated losses. You generally can pursue economic damages, which cover the losses you can easily measure, and non-economic damages, which compensate for less tangible impacts.
Economic losses include medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, rehabilitative services, and personal care assistance due to your injury. Non-economic losses include pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
In a wrongful death case, you may claim funeral and end-of-life expenses and loss of relationship benefits.
Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
Civil lawsuits provide injured accident victims access to justice. However, navigating the legal system on your own can be detrimental to your interests. You need a personal injury lawyer in Stamford to help you navigate the legal system, from filing the correct paperwork to negotiating with powerful insurance companies.
With decades of experience handling personal injury cases in Connecticut, our firm is the advocate you deserve. Our attorneys intimately know the Stamford legal landscape to give you a distinct advantage in pursuing the maximum compensation. Additionally, we handle all the legal details and communications with the insurance companies and opposition so you can focus on healing.

Personal Injury FAQs
Here are our answers to common questions from New Haven personal injury victims and loved ones.
What Should I Do Immediately After an Accident?
Call 911 after any car accident to report the incident and any injuries. If you can safely exit your car, take pictures of the accident from as many angles as possible. Ask any witnesses to wait with you. Most importantly, seek medical attention as soon as possible, even if you don’t think you’ve suffered a serious injury.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Stamford Cost?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we win. If we recover compensation for your claim, you pay an agreed-upon percentage of your settlement or judgment.
Can I Still File a Claim if I Was Partially at Fault?
Under Connecticut’s modified comparative negligence law, you may receive compensation if you’re less than 51 percent at fault for your injury. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of the fault. For example, if you are 20 percent at fault, you would receive 80 percent of your award.

I recommend using this business to help you with any of your legal needs because they go above and beyond to help how they can.
Dealing with my SSDI filing, I couldn’t have had a more understanding and kind experience. Johana Guzman was extremely diligent and explained everything nicely so that I didn’t feel as overwhelmed.

I'd also tell them that when your team says not to worry, take what they say to heart!
From the very beginning, the team at Rob Levine Law that worked on my disability claim were confident of winning, and I just wish that I’d listened when they told me not to worry! After almost two and a half years, I was doubtful about my chances. But Christian Munez, Alexander Rosas, and Dee Hansberry all reassured me that dealing with the government is a meticulous process that has rules to follow & hurdles to jump. And they were absolutely right!! I got the letter from Judge Jacobson saying my case has been decided 100% in my favor! It seems odd to be happy about being officially disabled, but I can’t stop smiling, and it’s all because of my team’s efforts! I couldn’t be more satisfied with their work! The results speak for themselves, but if anyone seeking justice asked me, I would give Rob Levine Law the highest recommendation possible!
Jane K.
