Your Rights After a Connecticut Car Accident

If another driver’s negligence caused your injuries, you may have the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and other documented losses. We evaluate the available evidence and damages, explain your options, and communicate with insurance adjusters on your behalf.

Connecticut follows modified comparative negligence, which means compensation can be reduced by your percentage of fault. Recovery is generally barred when your negligence is greater than the combined negligence of the parties from whom you’re seeking damages. Because statements, recorded communications, and settlement documents can affect how a claim is evaluated, talk with our car accident attorneys before giving an insurer a detailed statement or signing a release.

Important rights and considerations include:

• Medical Treatment: You can seek treatment for collision-related injuries and continue with recommended follow-up care. Medical records can document the nature, timing, and effects of your injuries.
• An Insurance Claim: You may file a claim against an at-fault driver’s insurance and pursue compensation supported by the available evidence and coverage.
• Legal Representation: You can have our attorneys handle insurer communications, evaluate potential recovery, negotiate for you, and represent you in court when litigation is necessary.
• Claim Information: You can ask questions, receive updates, and understand the basis for recommendations before making significant decisions about your case.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

What to Do After a Car Accident in Hartford

Steps to take after a car accident:

• Check for Injuries: Assess yourself and others for injuries. Move to a safe location if possible to avoid further harm.
• Call 911: Report the accident so Hartford Police and emergency responders can assist. A police report is often vital evidence later.
• Seek Medical Attention: Get medical attention even if injuries seem minor; some symptoms may appear later. Keep all medical records for insurance purposes.
• Exchange Information: Share contact and insurance details with all parties involved. Don’t admit fault or speculate about the cause of the crash at the scene.
• Document the Scene: Take photos of vehicle damage, road conditions, and nearby landmarks like Bushnell Park or Union Station.
• Collect Witness Information: If anyone saw the crash, get their names and contact details for future reference.
• Contact Our Attorney: Our Hartford auto accident attorneys can help with documentation, deadlines, and communication with insurers so you can focus on recovery. Home and hospital visits are available for clients recovering from serious injuries.
