Connecticut Premises Liability Law Firm FAQs
Do I Need to Hire a Premises Liability Attorney?
You need a premises liability attorney if you were injured on someone else’s property. A Connecticut property owner’s legal duty varies depending on whether a visitor is an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
Invitees are customers, social visitors, and anyone the owner invites to the premises for the invitee and owner’s mutual benefit. A licensee is someone with permission to be on the property for their benefit, with or without an invitation. Property owners must provide safeguards against injury for the benefit of licensees and invitees, but they have an added duty to inspect for hazards for the invitees’ protection. They are liable to invitees for conditions they knew and should have known about. However, they are only liable to licensees for conditions they actually knew about.
Property owners owe no duty to trespassers except to avoid intentionally harming them and to exercise reasonable care after becoming aware of their presence.
Determining your status and proving an owner’s liability can be complex. The property owner may contest your status on the property or claim ignorance about the hazard. It’s essential to have an experienced premises liability lawyer on your side who can prove the owner’s duty of care and ensure you receive just compensation.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Premises Liability Lawyer?
We provide personalized, aggressive advocacy with no upfront costs. If we recover compensation in your premises liability lawsuit, we will collect a percentage of your compensation to cover our fees. If we fail to recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing.
How Long Do I Have to File a Premises Liability Claim in Connecticut?
According to the Connecticut statute of limitations, you must file your premises liability lawsuit within two years of the incident. If you miss the deadline, you could forever lose your right to receive compensation for your injuries.
Thorough preparation and readiness for trial are the keys to achieving settlements that reflect your true damages. Thus, it is important to promptly contact an attorney after the incident to ensure they have time to investigate your accident and prepare your case before filing.
What Damages Can I Claim in a Connecticut Premises Liability Lawsuit?
You may be entitled to recover economic and non-economic damages in a Connecticut premises liability lawsuit.
Economic damages compensate for the monetary costs of your injuries, such as medical bills, ongoing care for permanent injuries, lost wages, and future lost earning capacity.
Non-economic damages cover the intangible costs of your injury, such as the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of society
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
- Loss of function
- Loss of consortium
Our experienced Connecticut premises liability attorneys are dedicated to accounting for every loss you have suffered from an accident on a negligent owner’s property.
