Frequently Asked Questions About Tremont Sheldon P.C.
How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case or Not?
You may have the right to bring a lawsuit to recover money damages for your losses if you were injured or harmed by another person or entity. You should consult with our lawyers as soon as possible after an injury to determine whether or not you have a case.
How Much Time Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in CT?
In Connecticut, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit that is based on the negligent conduct of another person or entity. The time limitation varies, however, depending on the nature of the claim.
How Much Does It Cost For a Personal Injury Case?
Under Connecticut law Sec. 52-251c, attorney fees in personal injury cases are paid on a contingency fee* basis. This means the fee is paid at the end of the case and is calculated on the amount of the final settlement or judgment.
What is the statute of limitations with regard to filing a sexual abuse claim?
Most victims who claim damages for sexual abuse, sexual assault or sexual exploitation as a child can file a claim up to 30 years past the age of abuse (typically until the age of 48) in Connecticut. Those who are abused after October 1, 2019 have until they turn 51 years of age to bring a claim.
However, if you claim damages as a result of being sexually assaulted as an adult, then you have a much shorter time period in which to file a lawsuit. Typically, you have three years from the date of the assault to file against the perpetrator for his or her intentional acts and two years from the date of the assault to file against any other person or entity (e.g., perpetrator’s employer) who may have been negligent in allowing the perpetrator to have contact with you.
Who pays your medical bills if you were injured in a car accident in Connecticut?
Connecticut is a “fault” insurance state. This means that if the other driver was at fault for the accident, their insurance company is responsible for paying for your losses, including medical bills. However, the insurance company will not pay your damages until your claim is resolved.
Why should I hire an attorney after an accident?
An attorney will help you understand your rights and what compensation you are entitled to after an accident. With years of experience dealing with all different insurance companies and policies, we have a breadth of knowledge that helps us navigate the claim and achieve maximum recovery. The initial offer from an insurance company can be much lower than what you deserve. A personal injury attorney will thoroughly evaluate the injuries and property damage and negotiate on your behalf to achieve the best possible result.
