Proving Fault In A Bridgeport Car Accident

Proving fault in a car accident is important not only for your ability to recover compensation, but also for the amount of compensation that you may receive. Connecticut follows the modified comparative negligence rule for determining fault and awarding damages. Under this rule:

• You must be 50 percent or less at fault for the accident (as determined by a jury or judge) or you will not be able to recover monetary compensation for your injuries.
• Any compensation that you are awarded will be reduced by the percentage of fault that is attributed to you. For example: If you are awarded $100,000, but were found to be 25 percent at fault, your reward will be reduced by 25 percent ($25,000) and you will only receive $75,000.

Do Not Face Insurance Companies On Your Own After a Bridgeport Car Accident

Connecticut’s use of a modified comparative negligence rule puts those who have been injured in a difficult situation. The insurance company that is defending against a case will use all of its resources to minimize the severity of your injuries and will do everything it can to pass fault for the accident to you. Without the guidance of the experienced trial lawyers at Wocl Leydon, you will be forced to present evidence and stand up to an insurance carrier’s large legal department on your own.
