Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Connecticut?
Connecticut's statute of limitations generally provides two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. However, this deadline can vary depending on case circumstances, and certain situations may extend or shorten this timeframe.
What makes David A. Zipfel & Associates, LLC different from other personal injury firms?
We combine decades of experience with a personal approach that larger firms cannot match. Since 1987, we have handled over 3,000 personal injury cases and recovered more than $10 million for our clients, yet we maintain the personal attention and accessibility that our clients deserve.
Will my case go to trial, and how long will it take to resolve?
Case duration varies depending on injury severity, liability disputes, and insurance company cooperation. Simple cases may resolve within months, while complex cases involving severe injuries or disputed liability may take longer.
How do you determine the value of my personal injury case?
Our team conducts comprehensive damage analysis. We work with medical professionals, economists, and vocational specialists to ensure all damages are properly documented and valued.
Can you help if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as your fault does not exceed 50%.
