Damages You Can Recover for Your Injuries and Losses
One of the first questions people have about their case is how much financial compensation they can recover for their losses. This depends on several factors, including how serious your injuries are and how long it will take for you to recover from them.
Every case is different, but common damages people can recover in these cases include:
- Medical bills (past, current, and future care)
- Lost pay
- Loss of earning potential for future income
- Physical pain
- Emotional trauma
- Property damage (repair or replacement)
We Must File Your Injury Lawsuit in Connecticut by a Certain Time
When an accident happens, the clock on how much time you have to sue for damages starts. In Connecticut, you generally have:
- Two years from the date of injury to file an injury lawsuit, per Connecticut General Statutes § 52-584.
- Two years from the person’s date of death (and no more than five years from the act that caused the death), per Connecticut General Statutes § 52-555.
If you miss these deadlines, you risk losing your right to sue forever. We can tell you how much time is left for you to take legal action. Don’t wait. Our personal injury claim attorneys in Connecticut are ready to get moving today.
Got Injured in an Accident in Connecticut? Take These Steps Now
If you were in an accident, you should take these steps now to protect yourself and your injury case:
- See a doctor: Even if you think your injuries are minor, you should get an exam. Getting medical help also establishes a direct connection between the accident and your injuries.
- Report the accident: You should file a police report and get a copy of it for your records. You should also tell the business owner, the property owner, or whoever is in charge about what happened, if applicable.
- Collect evidence that supports your case: If you can, take pictures of your injuries, damage to your belongings, or the accident scene.
- Avoid talking to the insurance company: Insurance adjusters aren’t on your side. They look out for the company. If you must talk to them, do not mention fault. We will talk to the insurance company for you.
- Call Skiber Law for help: We will tell you in plain terms what your legal options are and how we will help you.
