Connecticut left no-fault in 1994: what that means for an injury claim
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
A Connecticut driver hurt in a crash does not first file under a personal injury protection benefit. The General Assembly's Office of Legislative Research, in report 2016-R-0255 (2016), explains that the state had a no-fault law before January 1, 1994 and is no longer a no-fault state. Injury claims go against the driver who caused the crash and that driver's liability insurer, with no injury severity threshold to meet first.
The safety net in Connecticut is uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. Section 38a-336 (Connecticut General Statutes, 2025) requires every auto liability policy to include it, with bodily injury limits no lower than the state minimums, and requires insurers to offer limits equal to twice the policy's bodily injury coverage. A claimant hit by a driver with little or no insurance can still have a claim against their own policy.
Two years to file, and a fault test that compares the claimant with everyone sued
Connecticut measures fault against the whole defense side. Under section 52-572h(b) (Connecticut General Statutes, 2025), contributory negligence does not bar recovery if the claimant's negligence was not greater than the combined negligence of the persons against whom recovery is sought, including settled or released persons. Any award is reduced by the claimant's own share.
The filing clock is in section 52-584 (Connecticut General Statutes, 2025): two years from the date the injury is first sustained or discovered, or should have been discovered with reasonable care, and never more than three years from the act or omission complained of.
Buyers ask for the crash date because it starts that two-year count, and for the liability answers because the claimant's share is weighed against every defendant together.
The 25/50/25 floor on a Connecticut policy
Section 14-112(a) (Connecticut General Statutes, 2025) sets the financial responsibility amounts: $25,000 for injury to or death of one person, $50,000 for injury to or death of more than one person in an accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Section 38a-335 ties the minimum on every auto liability policy to those amounts.
The Connecticut Insurance Department (as of October 7, 2026) states the same minimums, or a $50,000 single limit, and lists uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage of at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. A lead that records the other driver's insurer helps a firm see which policy may pay.
Traffic deaths in Connecticut
The NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System table records 308 people killed in Connecticut motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2023, the latest year treated as final on this page. The figure counts deaths only. No official Connecticut injury crash count is quoted here.
Practice Book rules on lawyer advertising and solicitation
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 7, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
Connecticut's Rules of Professional Conduct are printed in the Connecticut Practice Book (2026 edition), published under the Judicial Branch. Two rules there cover the topics of ABA Model Rules 7.2 and 7.3:
- Rule 7.2, Communications concerning a Lawyer's Services: Specific Rules. Subsection (c) covers giving anything of value for recommending a lawyer, and subsection (h) addresses internet based client to lawyer matching services.
- Rule 7.3, Solicitation of Clients. Subsection (c)(4) addresses solicitations about a personal injury or wrongful death action, or an accident involving the person addressed, unless the accident occurred more than forty days before the mailing.
This page names the rules and what they address; whether a lead program fits them is for the buying firm and its counsel.
What buyers in Connecticut filter on
Connecticut orders usually come down to five fields, each linked to a rule above:
- Accident date: the start of the section 52-584 count, and the date the Rule 7.3(c)(4) forty-day period runs from.
- Fault answers: citations, point of impact and who else was involved, read against the combined-negligence test in section 52-572h(b).
- Injury and treatment: with no no-fault benefit in front of the claim, injury detail is what a firm uses to value it.
- Representation status: filters out claimants who already have a Connecticut lawyer.
- ZIP code: coverage is set to the ZIP codes a firm or its clients serve.

Connecticut car accident lead questions
What does the Connecticut forty-day rule say about accident solicitations?
Rule 7.3(c)(4) of the Rules of Professional Conduct in the Connecticut Practice Book (2026 edition) addresses solicitations about a personal injury or wrongful death action or an accident, unless the accident occurred more than forty days before the mailing. This is general information, not legal advice.
What liability limits must a Connecticut auto policy carry?
At least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury and $25,000 for property damage, under section 14-112(a) (Connecticut General Statutes, 2025).
Does Connecticut require uninsured motorist coverage on every policy?
Yes. Section 38a-336 (Connecticut General Statutes, 2025) requires uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage with bodily injury limits no lower than the state minimums, and insurers must offer twice the bodily injury limits.
Can a buyer take Connecticut car accident leads from one metro area only?
Yes. Buyers set filters down to the ZIP code, so an order can cover only the Hartford or New Haven area, for example. Leads are exclusive by default, and shared delivery is available on request.
