Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury in Connecticut
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Connecticut generally gives you two years from the date of injury. Don’t wait — evidence disappears quickly.
What if I’m partially at fault?
Connecticut’s modified comparative negligence rule allows recovery if you’re less than 51% responsible. Your compensation is reduced by your share of fault.
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — you pay only if we win.
Do personal injury cases go to trial?
Most cases settle, but we prepare every case for trial, giving you leverage in negotiations.
