Steps to Take After a Car Accident in Connecticut
Taking action immediately after a Connecticut car accident is critical to building the strongest possible case. Steps to follow after a crash include:
- Get to safety: Move out of the road and away from any other hazards. Once you’re safe, check on others involved in the accident.
- Seek immediate medical attention: Get treated at the nearest health care facility, even if you don’t have any obvious injuries. Having a record of proactive treatment can help support your claim.
- Call 911: Report the crash to the authorities. The police will investigate and write a report that can serve as a factual foundation for your case.
- Document the scene: If you’re not seriously hurt, take photos of your injuries and any damage caused by the crash. Talk to any nearby witnesses and get their contact information. Note if you see any video cameras that may have captured the accident.
- Notify your insurer: Call your insurance company to notify it of the crash. Don’t say anything more than necessary before talking to a lawyer, even when speaking with a representative of your own insurer.
- Contact an attorney: Consult an experienced Connecticut car accident lawyer promptly so they can start gathering evidence and building a strong case.
Understanding Connecticut Car Accident Laws
Connecticut’s state-specific personal injury laws can impact your case’s outcome. Our experienced car accident attorneys can help you understand how and when certain laws apply and what they mean for your claim.
Connecticut Is an At-Fault State: Here’s What That Means
Some states have “no-fault” insurance laws that make each driver’s insurance company responsible for their damages after an accident, regardless of who caused the crash. However, Connecticut is an “at-fault” state, meaning the driver who causes the accident is responsible for the resulting damages.
In Connecticut, proving the other driver’s liability is critical to recovering compensation after a car accident.
How Connecticut’s Comparative Negligence Rule Affects Your Case
Under Connecticut’s modified comparative negligence law, you can still recover compensation if you were 50% or less responsible for the accident that caused your injuries. Therefore, making a mistake won’t stop you from being able to win damages, but any compensation you receive will be reduced by your share of the liability.
Deadlines for Filing a Car Accident Claim in Connecticut
Generally, Connecticut’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years after the accident. Getting started on your claim immediately after getting injured will put you in the best position to succeed and help you avoid losing your opportunity to recover compensation.
Common Types of Car Accidents in Connecticut
Many car accidents are preventable and caused by driver error. Common causes of Connecticut car accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding or other reckless driving behaviors
- Driving while under the influence
- Driving while drowsy or fatigued
- Hazardous weather, especially on I-95 or Merritt Parkway
- Failure to yield or running red lights
- Poor road conditions
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident in Connecticut?
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you can recover three types of damages after a Connecticut car accident:
- Economic damages: These are straightforward financial losses such as medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and property damage.
- Non-economic damages: These compensate for subjective impacts on your life, including emotional trauma, pain and suffering, disfigurement, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment.
- Punitive damages: In rare cases, a judge may award punitive damages to a car accident victim to penalize a liable driver for gross negligence or intentional harm.
Connecticut Car Accident Frequently Asked Questions
What if I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident?
Connecticut’s modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover reduced compensation if you share some liability for the crash that caused your injuries.
Should I Talk to the Other Driver’s Insurance Company?
Never talk to insurance company representatives before you’ve consulted an experienced Connecticut car accident lawyer. Insurers can use your words against you and bait you into undermining your own case if you’re not careful.
Does Connecticut Allow Compensation for Pain and Suffering?
Yes, you can recover damages for pain and suffering you’ve experienced after a car accident in Connecticut.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer in Connecticut?
Our experienced Connecticut car accident attorneys cost nothing up front and nothing out of pocket. We charge a transparent 33% contingency fee if you successfully recover compensation, which is reduced to 25% if you’re a police, fire, rescue, or military worker.
