Officials reported that no one required extrication, and all occupants were able to get out of the vehicles on their own. EMS assessed those involved and confirmed that the injuries were not life-threatening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emergency crews provided care at the scene and ensured that everyone received proper evaluation. Authorities closed Route 5 southbound near Governors Highway while crews worked to clear the roadway and remove the damaged vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Police have not yet shared what caused the accident. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our thoughts remain with those injured as they recover.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is The Time Limit For a Car Insurance Claim in Connecticut?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Connecticut, you have two years from the date of your crash to file a personal injury lawsuit seeking compensation. This legal deadline is known as the statute of limitations, and missing it may prevent a victim from pursuing a claim in court. That is why it can help to understand the timeline as early as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The statute of limitations applies to lawsuits, not just insurance claims. Even if someone begins an insurance process right away, they still must meet the state\u2019s filing deadline if the case requires court action later. In most injury accidents, the two-year clock starts on the day the crash happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Filing early also helps victims gather key evidence while it remains available. Medical records, crash reports, and witness statements are often easier to collect soon after an accident. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some injuries may take time to fully appear, which makes prompt medical checks important for both treatment and documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Multi-vehicle accidents or cases involving disputed faults may take longer to investigate. These situations can involve multiple insurance companies and more detailed reviews. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having clear paperwork and understanding deadlines can help victims avoid delays that could affect their ability to seek compensation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UM <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lalawct.com\/pt\/car-accident-attorney-ct\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">advogado de acidentes de carro<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can explain how Connecticut\u2019s statute of limitations applies to a specific case.
