Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is set by Connecticut General Statutes Section 52-584. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in East Hartford?
Even for minor accidents, a lawyer can help ensure you receive fair compensation for medical bills and vehicle damage. Connecticut requires all drivers to carry liability insurance, but insurance companies may offer low settlements without legal representation.
What damages can I recover in a car accident case in Connecticut?
You may recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost wages, as well as noneconomic damages for pain and suffering. Connecticut does not cap most personal injury damages, but there is a cap on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases, not car accidents.
