What to do if you're in a car accident in Connecticut?
Although no one wishes to be in a car accident, it is important to know what steps you need to take if it happens in Connecticut. From knowing who to call and exchanging information to filing paperwork and seeking healthcare if needed, there are several important steps that should be followed after a car accident. Here is a list of tips on what to do if you become involved in an automobile accident in Connecticut:
- Call 911 immediately. If anyone is injured, police and medical attention should be sought first.
- Exchange information with all drivers involved. This includes contact information, insurance provider info, license plate numbers, and make/models of the vehicles involved.
- Take pictures of the scene for use during the claim process. Document any damages or injuries suffered as a result of the accident.
- If an injury has occurred or property damage is extensive, contact your insurance company promptly as soon as possible.
- Get the contact information of any witnesses if possible.
- Always speak with a Connecticut car accident attorney before signing anything from an insurance company or other driver if there is a dispute over negligence and fault that affects your claim's compensation amount.
What are the types of damages that can be recovered in Connecticut?
When an individual is injured due to the negligence of another driver, they may be eligible to receive financial compensation for their losses. Commonly referred to as damages, this compensation can cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and more. In Connecticut, the State allows you to seek compensatory damages (economic and non-economic) from the responsible party. They can also be awarded punitive damages as an additional form of damages if certain conditions apply.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are designed to return an injured person to the same financial position they would have been in had the accident not occurred. Commonly, this type of compensation covers medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and other economic losses suffered due to the accident.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-Economic damages are awarded to address the non-financial aspects of an injury, such as the physical and emotional pain that typically accompanies an injury, permanent scarring, or the way that a person’s injury may prevent them from enjoying certain activities in life as much as they could before they were injured. This type of compensation is intended to recognize the many hardships suffered by an injured individual that go beyond the financial expenses and losses.
Punitive Damages
In certain cases, punitive damages may be awarded as an additional form of compensation. This type of compensation is designed to punish the responsible party and acts as a deterrent against future reckless or negligent behavior. Punitive damages are typically reserved for cases involving reckless or malicious conduct, and/or willful disregard for safety.
