What Clients Say

Personal injury clients across Connecticut describe Attorney Murray’s one-attorney model as a significant advantage — they know exactly who is working on their case and can reach him directly rather than leaving messages that filter through layers of staff. In a practice area where clients are often physically impaired and dealing with insurance companies simultaneously, that direct access matters considerably.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in Connecticut?

Connecticut sets a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, running from the date of the accident or the date of injury discovery. Filing after this deadline almost always results in dismissal of the case regardless of its merits. There are limited exceptions — claims involving minors or government entities, for example — but relying on those exceptions is risky. Contacting a Southington personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident is the safest approach to protecting your right to recover.

How are personal injury settlements calculated in Connecticut?

Connecticut follows a modified comparative fault rule — if you are found partially at fault for your own injury, your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault, and you cannot recover at all if your fault exceeds 51 percent. Compensation typically covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Insurance adjusters often make early settlement offers that do not reflect the full value of a claim. An attorney can evaluate the offer against your documented losses and advise whether to negotiate further or proceed to litigation.

Does Connecticut require insurance coverage for motor vehicle accidents in Hartford County?

Yes — Connecticut is a mandatory liability state requiring minimum auto insurance coverage for all registered vehicles. However, minimum limits often fall well short of actual damages in serious accidents. Connecticut also permits uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage, which can provide additional recovery when the at-fault driver carries insufficient insurance. Southington-area accidents that occur on I-84 or Route 10 — both high-traffic corridors — often involve significant injuries where UM/UIM coverage becomes critical to full recovery.
