Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my personal injury case take to resolve?
The timeline for a personal injury case can vary widely. Simple cases may resolve in a matter of months, while more complex cases involving severe injuries or disputes over fault may take longer. We work diligently to move your case forward as efficiently as possible while ensuring we have built a thorough and compelling claim on your behalf.
What is the deadline for filing a claim in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. It is crucial to begin the legal process as soon as possible to ensure that evidence is preserved and all legal deadlines are met.
What should I bring to my free initial consultation?
To make the most of your consultation, it's helpful to bring any documents you have related to your accident. This could include police reports, medical bills, photos of the accident scene, and contact information for any witnesses. Even if you don't have these items, we can still discuss your case and provide guidance on the next steps.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that if you are found to be partially at fault for an accident, you can still recover compensation as long as your fault does not exceed 50%. However, the compensation you receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
