What To Know About Your Personal Injury Claim In Connecticut

If you suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, it is natural to have many questions about your rights and legal options. With decades of experience handling personal injury cases, Daniel has helped countless clients through this difficult process. Below, he addresses the most common questions his clients ask during their consultations.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Connecticut?

In Connecticut, you typically have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Courts strictly enforce this time limit, known as the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you will likely lose your right to seek compensation. Daniel urges potential clients to not wait and contact his office soon after an injury. This way, they can protect their legal rights and meet all required deadlines.

What if I was partly at fault – can I still recover compensation?

Yes, you can still receive compensation even if you share some blame. Connecticut follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule that permits recovery as long as you are not more than 51% responsible. However, the court will reduce your compensation according to your role in the accident. For instance, if a judge finds you 20% at fault for a $100,000 case, you would receive $80,000.

What are the costs involved in hiring your personal injury firm?

Daniel handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront to hire him. You only pay legal fees if he wins money for you through a settlement or court verdict. This approach makes quality legal help available to everyone, regardless of financial situation. The fee is typically a percentage of your recovery, which Daniel will clearly explain before you sign any agreement. You will not face hidden costs or surprise bills during your case. This payment structure allows you to focus on healing while Daniel works to secure the compensation you deserve without adding financial worry.
