If you were hurt in a crash, a fall, or by someone else's carelessness in Hartford, you usually have two years to file under Connecticut's statute of limitations (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584). Connecticut uses modified comparative negligence, so you can still recover if you were partly at fault, as long as you were 50% or less responsible.

Minor fender-benders with no injuries usually do not need a lawyer. Call a Hartford personal injury attorney if any of this is true:
The first weeks matter for preserving evidence, photographing the scene, and getting medical records lined up. A lawyer can deal with the insurer while you focus on recovering, and most take injury cases on contingency, so you pay nothing unless you win.
Almost all Hartford personal injury lawyers work on contingency, meaning they take a percentage of the recovery and you pay nothing up front:
The percentage usually rises if your case has to be filed in court rather than settled with the insurer. Ask whether case costs (filing fees, expert witnesses, records) come out before or after the fee is calculated. For more, see our personal injury guide and how much a personal injury lawyer costs.
Do not settle before you know how serious your injury is. Once you accept a check and sign a release, you cannot reopen the claim, even if your condition gets worse.
