Connecticut Traffic Accidents
Motorcycle accidents can be devastating, turning lives upside down in an instant. In Connecticut, these crashes often result in severe injuries—ranging from broken bones to spinal cord trauma—that require extensive medical treatment and long recoveries. Sadly, many motorcycle collisions are caused by negligent drivers who fail to share the road safely with riders. Nationwide, over 90% of traffic accidents stem from distracted, impaired, fatigued, or speeding drivers.
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident due to another motorist’s careless actions, you have the right to pursue legal compensation. Connecticut’s comparative negligence laws allow injured riders to recover damages even if they share some responsibility, so long as their fault is less than 50%. This means you can seek financial restitution for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses related to the crash.
Partnering with an experienced Hartford traffic accident attorney is crucial to building a strong case. Your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation, gather critical evidence, and work to prove the other driver’s liability so you receive the full compensation you deserve.
