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 claim. If you fail to act within this statute of limitations, you may lose your chance to seek compensation.

FAQs

In Connecticut, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. If the extent of your losses isn’t discovered until later, this period starts from the date of discovery. However, no claim can be filed more than three years after the accident.

In Connecticut, you can recover damages even if you’re partially at fault for an accident. This is known as “comparative negligence.” For instance, if your damages total $10,000 and you’re found 30% responsible, you could receive $7,000. However, if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may not be entitled to any compensation.
