What is a personal injury case?
A personal injury accident can be any type of accident that occurs due to someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior. Many of these accidents involve vehicles, but not all. A few common examples of personal injury accidents include:

All of these accidents – and many more – can result in many different types of severe injuries, including:

- Neck injuries (including whiplash and nerve damage)
- Back injuries (including spinal cord injuries and paralysis)
- Broken bones

How much is my personal injury case worth?
There is no simple answer to this question. It depends on the extent of your injuries and the effects they have had on your life.
In general, you can pursue financial compensation for two types of damages: economic and non-economic. Economic damages are objectively verifiable losses such as medical bills, lost income, property damage, and modifications to your home or vehicle to accommodate a disability. Non-economic damages are more subjective: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of quality and enjoyment of life, and so on.
Another important factor is the amount of available insurance coverage to pay for your claim.
One reason to hire an experienced Hartford personal injury attorney is that we can investigate your case and determine the full value of the claim. Usually, the insurance company’s first offer is not the best they can do. We can fight for the full compensation you deserve.
What damages can I be compensated for in a Hartford personal injury claim?
If you were injured in Hartford due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to recover economic damages and receive compensation for a wide range of financial losses, including money for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Property damage
- Rehabilitation costs
- Home modification expenses for permanent disabilities
- Cost of hiring help for daily activities
Non-economic damages:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium (for spouses)
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Hartford?
It depends. In Connecticut, the statute of limitations (legal deadline) for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. The statute of limitations for a wrongful death action is two years from the date of death. However, other deadlines can apply in some circumstances, and regardless of the legal deadline, an immediate investigation is critical to secure evidence in support of your claim. So, it’s in your interest to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
How much does it cost to hire a Hartford personal injury lawyer?
We represent injured people on a contingency fee, which means you pay nothing up front or out of pocket. Our law firm advances the costs to move your case forward. If we win, our fee is a percentage of your recovery. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.
The insurance industry’s own data says that people who hire attorneys recover more than those who don’t – even taking the attorney’s fee into account. In fact, even people who just talk to an attorney recover more than those who don’t. So, it’s not a question of how much it costs to get legal advice. It actually costs more to go it alone.
How can a Hartford personal injury lawyer help?
Proving that someone caused your personal injury accident might be much harder than you expect. That’s mainly because of two reasons:
- Most people deny doing anything wrong
- Most insurance companies do everything they can to reduce or deny accident claims
We know how to deal with such situations – by aggressively investigating such accidents and uncovering the truth. Our approach involves:
- Carefully analyzing accident reports and medical records
- Tracking down witnesses and interviewing them
- Consulting with experts in their field
- Aggressively negotiating with insurance companies
- Filing a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf if necessary
We know how high the stakes are for people injured in accidents. The financial impact can be significant. Medical bills, lost income and other accident-related expenses can add up fast. That’s why it’s critical that you contact our law firm as soon as possible after your accident in Hartford. We do whatever it takes to help you get the money you deserve.
