Insurance companies employ adjusters specially trained to make you comfortable talking to them. They are friendly, but they are not on your side. The more you talk, the more they will use your statements against you. Adjusters work for insurance companies that work to minimize your payout.

Connecticut Car Accident Lawyer FAQs
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Car Accident Attorney?
Hiring one of our experienced car crash attorneys in Connecticut costs nothing out of your pocket. If we win your claim and recover compensation, we collect a percentage of your damages as our fee. If we fail to recover compensation, you owe us nothing.
What Is My Car Accident Claim Worth?
Your car accident claim may be worth a few thousand dollars or millions, depending on the unique facts of your case. You may be entitled to damages for pain and suffering, medical bills, emotional distress, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and other financial and emotional losses. The most important factors that influence your compensation include the severity of your injuries, whether your injuries are permanent, the effects of your injuries on your earning capacity, and the available insurance coverage. We can calculate your claim value after we review your case.
How Long Do I Have to File My Connecticut Car Accident Claim?
Connecticut’s personal injury statute of limitations generally requires you to file your car accident lawsuit within two years of the accident. If you miss the deadline, you will lose your right to pursue compensation. Even though two years may seem like plenty of time, contacting our knowledgeable car accident lawyers in Connecticut as soon as possible is critical. Early involvement ensures your attorney can access important evidence and take the time to build a strong case. Don’t wait. Speak with one of our knowledgeable car accident injury attorneys today.
Do I Need to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer in Connecticut?
No law requires you to hire a Connecticut car accident attorney if you are injured in an accident. However, you will be at a significant disadvantage if you attempt to go up against a large insurance company alone. Insurance companies have significant resources and know how to take advantage of injured accident victims when they are at their lowest points. They will perform forensic accident investigations and cherry-pick the evidence to make it work against you.
When you have our experienced Connecticut car accident lawyers on your side, we will investigate your accident, work with experts, and disarm the insurance company. We can handle all communications with the insurance company and protect your rights. Contact us now if you need help with your Connecticut car accident claim.
