What To Do After Sustaining an Injury in Bridgeport, CT
What you do immediately after your accident matters.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you are injured in a car or other vehicle accident, take the following steps:
- Call 911: Get immediate help for anyone injured.
- Clear the roadway if possible: Pull operable cars to the side if safe. If not, put on hazard lights and wait for assistance.
- Call the police: Request a police report, which can provide evidence of what happened.
- Get immediate medical attention: Even if you think you’re uninjured, get assessed by a doctor. It can often take days for certain car accident injury symptoms to appear.
- Contact a car accident attorney: Describe the situation and learn if you may have a case.
Workplace Injuries
If you’ve been injured on the job, take these steps:
- Call 911 if necessary: Prioritize medical care. Keep any bills and records you receive.
- Report your accident: File an incident report with your supervisor or human resources department. Retain a copy for your files.
- Get immediate medical attention. Your employer may require you to see a doctor from a list of approved physicians.
- Contact a workers’ compensation attorney: If you incur medical costs, miss time from work, or suffer other losses, speak with a lawyer about your options.
Other Incidents
For slip-and-falls, dog bites, and other accidents, do the following:
- Seek immediate medical attention: Even injuries that seem mild may have lasting consequences.
- Report the incident to the responsible party: Notify the appropriate party, such as the pet owner, premises owner, property manager, or business owner. Document what happened in writing, if possible.
- Take photos of the scene: Capture any conditions that may have contributed to your fall, such as untreated ice or uneven surfaces.
- Consult a personal injury attorney: Find out if someone may be liable and, if so, how you can recover compensation.
Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in Bridgeport
The statute of limitations limits your time to file a civil lawsuit, such as a personal injury claim. The Connecticut statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from when you sustained or discovered your injury. If you learned of the injury after the incident, you still need to file within three years of that incident.
If you have a wrongful death claim, you must file it within two years of the person passing away and within five years of the incident in your complaint.
It’s essential to take action as soon as possible to avoid losing your right to file. An experienced personal injury attorney in Bridgeport, CT, can explain the statute applying to your case and help you avoid common settlement delays, such as missing evidence or disputed liability.
What Compensation Is Available in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Like other civil cases, personal injury lawsuits can compensate you for economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include quantifiable losses, including medical costs, lost wages, and bills for other accident expenses. Non-economic damages cover intangible harm, such as mental distress, pain and suffering, and reduced quality of life.
If the responsible party acted with malice or extreme disregard for others, your compensation may include punitive damages. These penalize the defendant instead of corresponding to any specific losses on your part.
You may sue for damages if your fault does not exceed the defendant’s. In cases where you share some fault and receive damages, the court will subtract an amount equal to your fault percentage. For example, if you are 30 percent at fault, you would receive 70 percent of your award.

Personal Injury FAQs
How Do I File a Personal Injury Claim?
Your first step in filing a claim is to document the accident, your medical treatment, and the resulting losses. Once you know the full extent of your injuries and their costs, you can send a letter to the responsible party’s insurance companies to demand compensation. This begins the negotiation process, which can lead to a settlement. If not, you can file a lawsuit and pursue litigation.
How Can I Prove the Other Party Was Negligent?
To prove negligence, you must establish the following:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care to act reasonably to prevent harming you.
- The defendant breached that duty to you, putting you in avoidable danger
- That breach caused your injury.
- You sustained recoverable damages.
How Do I Value a Personal Injury Claim?
Compensation for your injury should cover your monetary and non-monetary losses. The value of your case will depend on the nature and extent of your injuries, your medical costs and other expenses, your lost wages and earning capacity, the impacts on your daily life, the extent of the other party’s liability, the available insurance coverage, and the strength of your case. A Bridgeport personal injury attorney can provide an estimate of your claim’s value.
