If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence in Connecticut, one of your first questions is likely:
“What is my personal injury case worth?”
The answer isn’t always simple—it depends on multiple factors unique to your situation. At Hastings, Cohan & Walsh, LLP, we help you understand the full value of your case and fight to get you the compensation you deserve.
Understanding the Basics: What Compensation Covers
In Connecticut, personal injury compensation generally falls into two categories:
Economic Damages
These are the tangible financial losses you’ve suffered, including:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage (e.g., vehicle repair)
Non-Economic Damages
These account for more personal, subjective harm:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium (in some cases)

Key Factors That Affect Case Value
No two personal injury cases are alike. Your compensation depends on several factors under Connecticut law:
- Severity of your injuries – More serious injuries often lead to higher compensation.
- Length and complexity of medical treatment – Ongoing treatment can increase your damages.
- Comparative fault – Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence rule (C.G.S. § 52-572h). If you’re partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced—but you can still recover as long as you’re less than 51% responsible.
- Insurance policy limits – Available coverage often sets the ceiling for your recovery.
- Impact on your daily life – If the injury limits your ability to work, perform daily tasks, or enjoy life, this adds value to your non-economic damages.

Don’t Miss the Statute of Limitations
In Connecticut, most personal injury cases must be filed within two years of the date of the injury (C.G.S. § 52-584). If you miss the deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation—regardless of how strong your case is.
Time is critical.
