Were you injured in an accident in Connecticut because of someone else’s negligence? It’s important to understand Connecticut’s car accident laws so that you don’t forfeit the compensation you deserve.
● In Connecticut, you must report an accident within 5 days if there is at least $1,000 in damage.
● Connecticut's mandatory minimum insurance requirements include liability coverage of:
○ $20,000 in coverage for a single person accident injury or death
○ $40,000 if more than one person is injured or killed
○ $10,000 in property damage coverage
○ $20,000 per person, $40,000 per accident in uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
● You have two years from the date of the accident to file your case, according to Connecticut’s statute of limitations.
● Connecticut is a modified comparative negligence state. Under this law, you can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault. However, if you are more than 50% at fault, the court will not allow you to collect any damages. An attorney can help prove your story.
● There’s no definitive method for proving fault, so help from a Connecticut personal injury attorney is essential. Otherwise you might miss out on the compensation you need and deserve!
