Our Connecticut Personal Injury Attorney Can Determine How Much Your Case is Worth

In a personal injury case, the injured person may recover compensation for their damages. The amount of compensation you can recover depends on the facts of your case. Our attorneys will consider:

  • The type of medical services the injured person needed
  • The extent of any disability or loss of functioning
  • The length of time the injured person was out of work
  • The extent of the victim’s non-financial suffering
  • Whether the victim suffered property damage because of the incident

Personal Injury Victims Recover Compensation for Medical Expenses

Through a personal injury claim or lawsuit, you may recover compensation for your past, present, and future medical expenses. You may be compensated for any expenses related to:

  • Ambulance transportation to the hospital
  • Your hospital stay
  • Any medical tests you need, such as an MRI, CT scan, laboratory tests, bloodwork, or X-rays
  • The surgical and medical procedures you required because of your personal injury
  • Ongoing medical care to address long-term medical complications caused by the incident
  • Rehabilitative therapy such as occupational or physical therapy
  • In-home health care or nursing home care
  • Medical supplies and equipment
  • Medical devices
  • Medications and other pharmacy costs related to the incident

For example, if you were hit by a drunk driver and needed surgery to repair a broken collarbone, the cost of your surgery could be covered by your personal injury payout. Additionally, you may receive compensation for follow-up doctor visits, physical therapy, and the pain medication you require while healing.

Our Connecticut personal injury attorneys know how expensive medical care is in the United States. We have seen the huge medical bills our clients receive after a car accident or slip and fall. That’s why we are dedicated to pursuing compensation for medical expenses you experience because of your personal injury.

Property Damage Expenses May Be Recoverable After a Personal Injury Accident

Many personal injury cases follow a motor vehicle accident. If your car, van, truck, motorcycle, or other vehicle was damaged in a crash, you may qualify for compensation. The liable party or their insurance company may be required to compensate you for:

  • The cost of repairing your vehicle to its pre-accident condition
  • The cost of replacing your vehicle

Connecticut Personal Injury Victims May Seek Compensation for Non-Economic Damages

In many cases, personal injury victims qualify to recover non-economic damages for their intangible losses. The pain somebody experiences because of a surgical error can’t be represented on a medical bill. However, this doesn’t mean that the victim shouldn’t be compensated for this pain.

Personal injury victims in Connecticut can request compensation for:

  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Reduced quality of life

Personal Injury Victims Can Recover Money for Lost Income

Whether your injury was caused by substandard medical care, a reckless driver, a property owner’s oversight, or another reason, you probably had to miss work to heal or attend medical appointments.

If you had to take time off of work because of your injury, you may be able to recover compensation for your lost income. Our team can collect medical records and proof of your previous income to prove that your injuries prevented you from earning the money you need.

Our Personal Injury Attorney Can Demand Compensation for Reduced Earning Capacity

Some personal injuries are so serious that the individual can’t return to their job. If you had to quit working or take a lower-paying job because of your injuries, this may affect your potential payout.

You could receive compensation for damage to your “earning capacity” or ability to earn a living. For example, if a construction worker suffers an injury that takes away their ability to walk, they might have to take a lower-paying desk job. In this case, they could be compensated for the difference between their pre-injury and post-injury salaries.

A Connecticut personal injury attorney from our law firm can calculate the extent of your lost income and lost earning capacity and insist on fair compensation.

You Have a Limited Amount of Time to File a Personal Injury Case in Connecticut

Legal actions such as personal injury claims are usually bound by a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations limits the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Connecticut, the statute of limitations is generally two years for personal injury cases per Connecticut General Statutes § 52-584. This means that you must file your lawsuit within two years if you hope to secure financial compensation for damages such as medical bills or lost income.

If your loved one passed away in an accident another party caused, we can help you pursue a wrongful death case. You typically must submit your wrongful death claim within two years, according to Connecticut General Statutes § 52-555. Your family could recover compensation for funeral expenses and other associated losses.

Many factors can influence the statute of limitations in a case. For example, if your case is brought against a government entity, you may have less time to file. When you hire our attorneys right away, we can explain the filing deadline that applies to your case.
