A Connecticut car accident can impact your life physically, emotionally, and financially. You may be wondering:

• Who will pay for your medical bills?
• How do you recover lost wages?
• How much compensation are you entitled to for your injuries?

These are critical questions that require immediate answers.

Why Hiring an Experienced Attorney Matters  

Studies show that injured parties who hire an experienced lawyer obtain higher settlements and judgments than those who attempt to negotiate directly with insurance companies. Even after legal fees, most clients still recover more compensation than they would have on their own.**

Your personal injury case may involve complex legal issues, making it difficult to handle without legal representation. One critical factor that could impact your claim is the Statute of Limitations.

Understanding the Statute of Limitations  

The statute of limitations is the legal deadline by which you must file a lawsuit. If you fail to file within this time period, your case may be dismissed, preventing you from pursuing compensation—regardless of the strength of your case.

• Statutes of limitations vary by state.
• Some states require cases to be filed from the date of the injury.
• Others allow for a tolling period, meaning the clock starts from the date the injury was discovered.
• Special exceptions may apply to minors or incompetent individuals, allowing them to file after they become legally able.

Why Timing is Critical  

There are many legal issues that must be examined to determine:

• Which statute applies to your case?
• When does the clock start running?
• Are there any exceptions that extend the filing deadline?
