Compensation for Your Losses
If negligence played a role in your pedestrian accident, you may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages. Here’s what that means:
- Economic Damages: These cover your direct financial losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and any paid sick or vacation time you used while recovering. Economic damages may also include future medical expenses and loss of potential earnings if your injuries prevent you from returning to work.
- Non-Economic Damages: These address the personal impact of your injuries, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, permanent scarring or disfigurement, loss of bodily function, and reduced enjoyment of life.
By pursuing compensation, you can address both the tangible and intangible losses caused by your accident.
Filing Deadlines for Pedestrian Accident Claims
In Connecticut, you have two years from the date of your pedestrian accident to file a lawsuit. If you fail to file your lawsuit within this statute of limitations, you may lose your chance to seek compensation.
