How Connecticut's At-Fault System Benefits Injury Victims

Unlike New York and New Jersey, Connecticut does not operate under a no-fault insurance system. Connecticut is a tort state, meaning the party responsible for causing your injury is directly liable for your damages from the outset. This means you can pursue compensation for the full range of your losses — including pain and suffering — directly through the at-fault party’s liability insurance without first exhausting your own coverage.

Connecticut applies a modified comparative negligence rule, allowing you to recover compensation as long as you are not more than 51 percent at fault for the incident. Your recovery is reduced proportionally by your share of fault. Additionally, all Connecticut drivers are required to carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, providing an important safety net when the at-fault party lacks adequate insurance.

• Reduced earning capacity if injuries affect your professional future
• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and post-traumatic stress
• Loss of enjoyment of life when injuries prevent meaningful daily activities

Connecticut's Two-Year Filing Deadline

Connecticut law gives personal injury victims two years from the date of their injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to seek compensation. Evidence also deteriorates quickly — surveillance footage is overwritten, witnesses become harder to reach, and physical conditions at accident scenes change. Cellino Law recommends contacting us as soon as possible after any injury caused by someone else’s negligence anywhere in Connecticut.

Frequently Asked Questions About Connecticut Personal Injury Claims

Does Cellino Law handle cases throughout all of Connecticut?

Whether your case involves a major interstate accident or an incident on a local road, our Connecticut attorneys are ready to help.

What is the difference between Connecticut and New York personal injury law?

The most significant difference is that Connecticut is an at-fault state, allowing injured parties to pursue claims directly against negligent parties for the full scope of their losses, including pain and suffering, without a no-fault PIP threshold. Connecticut’s statute of limitations is also two years, compared to New York’s three. The modified comparative negligence threshold in Connecticut is 51 percent, compared to New York’s pure comparative negligence standard.
