Insurance Negotiation and Litigation
Connecticut mandates minimum insurance coverage levels for all drivers, including:
- $25,000 for individual liability per accident: This requirement ensures that if you’re at fault in an accident, your insurance covers up to $25,000 for injuries to one person. This coverage is crucial as it provides financial support for the injured party’s medical expenses, helping protect you from out-of-pocket costs for those injuries. It’s a safeguard that ensures victims receive immediate care without the need for lengthy legal disputes over payment.
- $50,000 for total bodily injury per accident: This coverage extends the individual liability to cover a total of $50,000 for all injuries in a single accident. This means if multiple people are injured in an accident you cause, the insurance will cover up to $50,000 in total for their medical treatments. It’s designed to address situations where several individuals sustain injuries, ensuring there’s sufficient financial assistance to go around, with a cap that requires careful allocation among the injured parties.
- $25,000 for property damage: This coverage is for the damage your vehicle may cause to another person’s property in the event of an accident. It can include damages to other vehicles, buildings, or property hit in a crash. The $25,000 coverage helps to repair or replace the damaged property, alleviating the financial burden from the at-fault driver and helping to swiftly rectify the damage caused.
These coverages form the basis of potential compensation claims, alongside uninsured and underinsured motorist policies that offer additional protection. Our attorneys are skilled at deciphering these policies and will ensure you pursue every available avenue for compensation.
Overcoming the Challenges of Proof
Establishing a strong motorcycle crash claim requires overcoming significant challenges, particularly when facing insurance companies inclined to minimize settlement amounts. With decades of experience, our lawyers are well-versed in insurers’ tactics for shifting blame or undervaluing claims.
We use a comprehensive strategy to document negligence and liability, utilizing evidence such as police reports, eyewitness accounts, and expert testimony to build a compelling case for compensation.
Addressing Defective Motorcycle Claims
In some instances, motorcycle accidents are not due to rider error or another motorist’s negligence but to defective motorcycle parts. When this is the case, compensation can be sought from the motorcycle manufacturer, the faulty component, or the service provider responsible for maintenance.
Our legal team is adept at identifying such defects and pursuing the responsible parties to secure compensation for our clients.
Timely Action Is Crucial After a Motorcycle Accident
The importance of prompt action following a motorcycle accident cannot be overstated. In Connecticut, understanding the statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims is crucial for those seeking justice.
The statute of limitations sets a deadline by which a lawsuit must be filed after an injury or death occurs. For personal injury cases in Connecticut, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury, as outlined in Connecticut General Statutes § 52-584. Similarly, wrongful death claims must be filed within two years from the date of death, governed by Connecticut General Statutes § 52-555.
Failure to file within this period typically results in the loss of the right to seek compensation through the courts, highlighting the critical nature of timely legal consultation and action in protecting victims’ rights and interests in Connecticut.
By engaging our services early, you enable us to start negotiating with the insurance companies sooner and keep your case within Connecticut’s statutory deadlines for filing personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.
