What To Do After a Personal Injury in Hartford
Your actions immediately after a personal injury can affect your potential legal case. Different types of incidents require different approaches.
After a Motor Vehicle Accident
Here’s how to protect your rights after a motor vehicle accident:
- Call 911 even if nobody is obviously injured. You’ll want the police to come and create an accident report. Emergency medical personnel can also check for injuries. Clear the roadway if necessary while you wait for them to arrive—only leave your vehicle on the road if it’s disabled or unsafe to move.
- Tell the police officer your side of the story. Stick to the basic facts, and avoid speculating or admitting fault. Anything you share with the officer may be included in the accident report and used against you later.
- Document the scene. Take photos of the vehicles, contributing hazards, and visible injuries. Get witness information and gather insurance details from everyone involved in the accident.
- Report the accident to your insurance company, but be careful about what you say before you speak with an attorney.
- Get medical attention immediately, even if you don’t feel injured. Some car accident injuries take several days to show symptoms. Getting your injuries diagnosed quickly shows that they resulted from the accident.

After a Workplace Injury
Take these steps after a workplace injury to protect your right to fair compensation:
- Call 911 if you’re seriously injured or the injury has resulted from a possible crime, such as workplace violence.
- Report the accident to your supervisor or human resources department. They may complete a workplace injury form and provide you with information about workers’ compensation benefits.
- Document the accident scene. Take photos and write down your account of what happened. This evidence can help you prove liability if a third party is at fault for your injury.
- Seek prompt medical attention. You may need to see a doctor from a list of approved physicians from the workers’ compensation system.
- Contact a workers’ compensation attorney for a free consultation about your rights and options.
After an Injury on Someone Else's Property
You may have a premises liability claim if you’ve suffered injury on someone else’s property, such as a slip and fall. Take these steps after an injury on someone else’s property:
- Call 911 if you’re seriously injured.
- Report the incident to the property owner or manager and ask them to document it.
- Gather evidence at the scene, such as photos of any hazards that caused your injury. Get contact information from any witnesses who saw the accident.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact a personal injury attorney in Hartford, CT, for guidance on your next steps.
Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims in Hartford
Connecticut’s personal injury statute of limitations requires you to file a claim within two years of your injury. If you plan to file a wrongful death claim, you must do so within two years of the victim’s death.
You may be unable to seek compensation if you miss this deadline. That’s why contacting our attorneys soon after an injury is essential. We’ll work quickly to build your case and meet the statute of limitations.
Contacting us soon after the incident can also result in a faster case resolution. Evidence can fade and become more difficult to gather as time passes. When we start gathering evidence early on, we can often build a strong case in less time and get your compensation sooner.
What Compensation Can I Receive in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Your compensation may include any losses your injury causes. These include economic damages that have a specific dollar value, such as:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages for the injury’s short-term impact on your income
- Lost earning capacity for the injury’s long-term effects on your ability to work
They may also seek non-economic damages that compensate you for the injury’s subjective impact on your quality of life. Common non-economic losses include the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
Connecticut’s modified comparative negligence law may affect your compensation if you’re partially at fault for the accident. This law allows you to receive compensation only if you’re less than 51 percent at fault for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by your share of the fault. For example, if your damages are worth $100,000 and you’re 20 percent at fault, your award will be $80,000.
Why You Need a Hartford Personal Injury Lawyer
Insurance companies often try to take advantage of injury victims who don’t have legal representation. They may pressure you to accept less than you deserve or get you to say something that hurts your case.
A personal injury lawyer in Hartford can level the playing field by:
- Anticipating and countering the insurance company’s tactics
- Gathering strong evidence that proves liability and damages
- Filing the proper paperwork for your case
- Negotiating with insurance companies and handling communications between parties
- Representing you in court if necessary
Our strong ties to the Hartford community mean we truly care about everyone’s safety. When someone’s negligence injures someone in our community, we want to hold them accountable.

Personal Injury FAQs
The following are some common questions we get from people regarding personal injury cases in Hartford.
How Do I File a Personal Injury Claim?
Contact our attorneys to start the process of filing a personal injury claim. We’ll meet with you for a free consultation about your legal options.
If we agree to proceed with a claim, we’ll investigate, build your case, and send a demand letter to the insurance company. This letter will explain our argument for negligence and the damages we’re seeking. We’ll then negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company.
How Can I Prove the Other Party Was Negligent?
We can help you prove the other party’s negligence by establishing the following elements:
- They owed you a duty of care.
- They breached that duty of care.
- Their breach of duty caused your injury.
- The injury resulted in damages.
Evidence can help us prove these elements of negligence, including accident reports, surveillance video, and witness statements.
How Do Attorneys Value a Personal Injury Claim?
The insurance company doesn’t want you to know your claim’s true value. We can determine the full value of your claim by considering the nature and severity of your injuries, the impacts of your injury on your life, your lost wages, and your past and future medical costs.
