Connecticut rules that shape a car accident claim

Insurance system in Connecticut

Connecticut isn't one of the 12 no-fault states listed by the Insurance Information Institute, so injury claims run through the at-fault driver's liability insurance.

Minimum liability coverage

C.G.S. 14-112 sets financial responsibility at $25,000 for bodily injury to or death of one person, $50,000 for more than one person in an accident and $25,000 for property damage.

Comparative fault rule

Connecticut uses modified comparative negligence. Under C.G.S. 52-572h, a plaintiff whose negligence isn't greater than the combined negligence of the parties against whom recovery is sought can recover, with damages reduced by the plaintiff's share.

Deadline to file an injury lawsuit

C.G.S. 52-584 requires a negligence action for personal injury to be brought within two years from the date the injury is first sustained or discovered, and never more than three years from the act or omission complained of.

This isn't legal advice; check the linked statutes before relying on them.

Questions to ask Connecticut callers

Ask when the caller first knew of the injury, not only the crash date. C.G.S. 52-584 runs two years from when the injury is sustained or discovered, with a three-year outer limit from the crash itself.
Get the crash date on every call and count forward two years, the period in C.G.S. 52-584. Files close to that line go to an attorney the same day.
Ask which insurers are involved, theirs and the other driver's. Connecticut's required minimum is $25,000 per person for bodily injury, so in a serious injury case ask about the caller's own coverage too.
Ask what the caller was riding or driving. Motorcyclists were 24% of Connecticut's 2024 crash deaths, so decide up front whether motorcycle callers fit your intake.
Ask whether the police report or witnesses mention speed; speeding was a factor in 41% of Connecticut's 2024 crash deaths.
