What To Do When You Live Out Of State And Get Into A Connecticut Auto Accident

Connecticut auto accidents occur whether you are on a major Interstate highway like 84, 91 or 95; a fast-moving thoroughfare like the Berlin Turnpike, Merritt Parkway, or Wilbur Cross Parkway,; or a back road through a rural community.

Questions may arise if you live outside of Connecticut and got into an accident while traveling through the state. Some of the most common questions are:

    1. Can I hire an attorney from my home state? Wherever the injury occurred is the jurisdiction where you must file your claim.

    2. My medical bills are piling up. Do I have to pay for them? Medical expenses for injuries sustained in a Connecticut auto accident are a part of the demand to the insurance company.

    3. I am missing work because of my injuries. Can I recover my lost wages? When you work with experienced CT injury lawyers, like those at our firm, they will build a strong case and demand for your loss of wages.

    4. I am going to need on-going therapy and medication for the injuries I got in a Connecticut auto accident.  Under Connecticut law, you are entitled to seek damages for any future treatments and medications that stem from the accident injuries.
