Injury Claims In Connecticut
An injury can put your life on pause while you deal with treatment, medical bills, lost income, and financial losses. As you focus on your recovery, you need a legal advocate working on your behalf. Our Connecticut personal injury lawyers can determine your right to compensation and work to make the responsible parties pay.
Attorney Nate Baber and the Baber legal team are committed to compassionate representation for every client. We deal directly with insurance company adjusters, so our clients don’t have to. We assess the liability issues, determine fault, and resolve cases while our clients rest and recover.
How We Help You Recover Compensation
Our Connecticut personal injury attorneys follow a simple but effective process:
- Consultation: We meet with you to discuss your case, answer your questions, and explain your legal options. During our free consultation, we provide information to help you understand your legal options and decide whether to move forward with your claim.
- Investigation: We investigate your accident. This may include visiting the scene, interviewing witnesses, consulting with experts, and obtaining police and medical reports.
- Case Strategy: We calculate your damages, research your injuries, and evaluate your claim. We prepare your case for settlement and send a demand letter to the liability insurance company.
- Settlement or Lawsuit: We work to resolve most personal injury claims without litigation. If a liability insurer won’t negotiate fairly, we may recommend filing a lawsuit to recover the compensation you deserve.

Damages You Can Recover
We seek compensation based on accident-related damages. In Connecticut, a settlement or judgment can include three types of damages:
- Economic Damages: Past and future out-of-pocket costs, such as medical bills, lost income, and other financial losses
- Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for subjective losses like pain, suffering, disfigurement, and emotional distress
- Punitive Damages: A jury award for damages that punish a defendant for reckless, intentional, or malicious actions

Understanding Connecticut Law
In Connecticut, two key statutes can affect your case outcome:
- Statute of Limitations: In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you lose your right to recover compensation. Our attorneys track this critical date to ensure we resolve your case or meet any legal deadlines.
- Modified Comparative Negligence: Under Connecticut law, multiple parties may be legally responsible for an accident. Even if you are negligent, you can recover compensation if you are 50% negligent or less. Any settlement will include a reduction based on your fault percentage. For example, if you’re 30% negligent for your accident and your claim is worth $100,000, you still recover $70,000.
