How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Hartford, CT?

In Connecticut, you generally have two years from the date of a crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. The deadline starts on the day the collision happened. Missing that deadline can stop you from recovering compensation.

Once the first few weeks pass, many people focus on treatment, work, and daily responsibilities. Filing early helps preserve evidence. It also gives your attorney more time to review records and build the claim.

Because Connecticut follows modified comparative negligence rules, your percentage of fault affects your recovery. If you are less than 51 percent at fault, your compensation may decrease. If you are 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover damages.

After a crash, early medical records often become important evidence in the case. Delays in treatment can give insurance adjusters a reason to question your injuries. Keeping records from the beginning helps support your claim.

If you were a passenger, the filing deadline still applies to your case. Passengers rarely carry blame for causing a collision. You may still pursue compensation through the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage.

In Hartford, Capitol Avenue runs through a busy part of the city near the state capitol grounds. Other roads, including Broad Street, Park Street, Farmington Avenue, and Interstate 84, also carry heavy traffic during evening hours.

After a crash, insurance adjusters may ask for recorded statements or quick answers before the full extent of your injuries becomes clear. Some companies also try to use gaps in treatment or incomplete records to reduce what they pay.

Before you accept any offer from the insurance company, you should speak with a advogado de acidentes de carro. An attorney can review the settlement offer, gather supporting evidence, and explain whether the amount reflects the full extent of your losses.
