We Represent Motor Vehicle Accident Victims in Wethersfield, CT

Automobile collisions are the leading cause of accidental injuries in Connecticut. Each year, tens of thousands of people are hurt on our state’s roads. A large share of our personal injury practice in Wethersfield is devoted to traffic crashes. We handle all types of motor vehicle accidents—from car wrecks to motorcycle crashes to commercial truck accidents.

If you or your loved one was involved in a car accident in Wethersfield, it is imperative that you understand your rights and responsibilities. The collision should be reported to law enforcement if anyone was injured in the crash. Connecticut is a fault-based motor vehicle accident state. All crashes require a detail-driven investigation to determine what happened and why.

Connecticut’s Comparative Negligence Doctrine

Several states in the U.S. have laws where bar compensation if you are even 1% responsible for the collision.  Thankfully in Connecticut we have the comparative negligence doctrine.  This means that it’s possible for you to recover damages even if you are partially at fault.  This doctrine just requires you to prove the other driver is equally or more at fault for the accident. 

This law is one of the reasons most drivers choose to get legal representation to help document the conditions of the collision and fight for rightful compensation.
