Connecticut Car Accident Laws
Modified Comparative Negligence (The 51%Law)
Connecticut follows a “Modified Comparative Negligence” system. This means that you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident.
“Fault” State Insurance System
Connecticut is a “Fault” state. This means that the person who caused the accident is legally responsible for all resulting damages. Victims have the right to file a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance or sue them directly.
Connecticut Statute of Limitations
Car accident victims typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is governed by Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584.
Exceptions: If the accident involves a government vehicle or a specific type of property defect, notice requirements can be as short as 90 days.
Decades of Experience
McCoy & McCoy has been representing injured victims since the early 1970s and has been in continuous operation for over 50 years.
We know the law. We know the insurance companies. We know the courts.
Elite Award- Winning Advocacy
Our attorneys aren’t just recognized by clients; they are honored by their peers. We hold some of the most prestigious distinctions in the legal field, including:
- Board Certified Trial Attorneys: A distinction held by less than 0.5% of all Connecticut lawyers, signaling the highest level of courtroom expertise.
- When the opposing side sees that they are up against a Board-Certified Trial lawyer, their strategy shifts. They recognize that their usual lowball tactics will not work against a firm that is fully trial-ready.
- Million Dollar Advocates Forum: Attorney Angela Edwards is part of this elite group of the top trial lawyers in the United States. Membership is strictly limited to trial lawyers who have won million- and multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements.
- Elite Car Accident Lawyer Award: A prestigious honor given only to attorneys who have demonstrated a high degree of skill and success. Attorney Brian Parrott has received this award for his impeccable reputation for client service.
