How Compensation Works in a Personal Injury Lawsuit
Personal injury compensation falls into two main categories: economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages cover concrete financial losses like medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and ongoing rehabilitation costs. These damages can be calculated based on actual expenses and projected future costs related to your injury.
Non-economic damages address the physical and emotional pain and suffering that you sustained—chronic pain, permanent disability, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and strain on personal relationships. While harder to quantify, these damages often make up a significant portion of personal injury settlements and verdicts.
The potential value of your case depends on multiple factors, including the severity of your injuries, long-term prognosis, impact on your ability to work, and available insurance coverage. Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante can help you determine the estimated value of your final award. Our attorneys will carefully evaluate all these elements to determine fair compensation and fight for a settlement or verdict that truly reflects the harm you sustained.
How Our Personal Injury Lawyers Protect Your Interests
A serious injury creates complex legal challenges that can feel overwhelming while you’re trying to focus on your recovery. The path to fair compensation requires extensive evidence gathering, detailed documentation, and skilled negotiation at every stage. If you are planning to file a personal injury lawsuit, you need someone who can guide you through the process and protect your interests.
Our Hartford personal injury lawyers level the playing field by handling all aspects of your claim. We will investigate the accident thoroughly, gathering evidence like witness statements, surveillance footage, and expert testimony before it disappears. Our firm will also manage all communication with insurance companies, preventing them from using your statements against you or pressuring you into an inadequate settlement.
We work with medical experts to understand the full extent of your injuries and future care needs, making sure that any settlement or verdict accounts for your current and long-term expenses. Our attorneys will also work to identify all potential sources of compensation, including multiple insurance policies or third-party liability, to maximize the resources available for your recovery.
Throughout your case, we prepare for trial while pursuing fair settlement negotiations. If an insurer fails to make a fair offer or refuses to pay out your claim, we are not afraid to take your case to court and fight for the verdict that you deserve.
The Statute of Limitations in Connecticut Personal Injury Claims
In most Connecticut personal injury lawsuits, you must file a claim within two years of the date of your accident:
No action to recover damages for injury to the person, or to real or personal property, caused by negligence, or by reckless or wanton misconduct, or by malpractice of a physician, surgeon, dentist, podiatrist, chiropractor, advanced practice registered nurse, hospital or sanatorium, shall be brought but within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered, and except that no such action may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission complained of, except that a counterclaim may be interposed in any such action any time before the pleadings in such action are finally closed.
If you fail to meet this deadline, the court will likely dismiss your case and prevent you from recovering compensation. This is why it is so important to seek the guidance of a personal injury lawyer. An attorney from Lynch, Traub, Keefe & Errante can evaluate your case and, if possible, pursue the necessary legal action before time is up.
