CONNECTICUT PERSONAL INJURY LAW
Connecticut follows a comparative-negligence system for negligence claims. An injured person may still recover damages when their share of negligence is not greater than the combined negligence of the person or persons from whom recovery is sought. Any economic and noneconomic damages awarded are reduced according to the injured person’s percentage of negligence. If the injured person’s negligence is greater than the combined negligence of those against whom recovery is sought, recovery may be barred.
Connecticut law provides that many actions for personal injury caused by negligence must be brought within two years from the date the injury is first sustained or discovered, or reasonably should have been discovered. The statute also contains an outside limit of three years from the negligent act or omission. Different claims and circumstances can involve different deadlines or procedural requirements. Because missing an applicable deadline can prevent a claim from going forward, it is important to obtain advice about the specific facts of a case rather than relying only on a general website deadline.

Not every injury automatically requires legal representation. Speaking with an attorney can be especially useful when an injury is serious, responsibility is disputed, multiple parties may be involved, an insurance company requests a recorded statement or a settlement offer does not appear to reflect the documented losses. A consultation can help you understand the options available based on the specific circumstances.
There is no reliable average value for a personal injury claim. The potential value depends on factors such as the severity and duration of the injuries, medical evidence, lost earnings, applicable insurance coverage, responsibility for the accident and the effect of the injury on daily life. Connecticut negligence law recognizes both economic and noneconomic damages
Many Connecticut actions involving personal injury caused by negligence are subject to a two-year period measured from when the injury was sustained or discovered, or reasonably should have been discovered. Connecticut General Statutes §52-584 also contains a three-year outside limit measured from the act or omission complained of. Different types of claims and special circumstances may involve different rules, so the applicable deadline should be evaluated individually.
Being partly responsible does not necessarily prevent recovery in a Connecticut negligence claim. Under Connecticut’s comparative-negligence statute, damages may be reduced according to the injured person’s percentage of negligence, and recovery depends on how that negligence compares with the combined negligence of the parties from whom recovery is sought.
There is no fixed timeline. The length of a case can depend on medical treatment, the complexity of the evidence, whether responsibility is disputed, the number of parties involved, negotiations with insurers and whether litigation becomes necessary. An attorney can give you a better idea of the likely process after reviewing the facts of your case.
Ganim Injury Lawyers offers free consultations and states that there is no fee unless the firm wins. The details of any attorney-client fee arrangement should be explained and agreed upon before representation begins.
