When a person is involved in an accident with a commercial truck, the damages can be severe. Tractor trailers and construction vehicles dwarf cars and create significant force upon impact. While all operators of commercial trucks are required to obtain special licenses, this does not mean that they are always driving with care. When an accident happens and results in injuries, it's important to act quickly in order to fight for the compensation you deserve.

The Laws Behind Truck Accident Cases
Truck accident cases are usually based on the legal theory of negligence. Negligence is when a person fails to take proper care to perform a legal duty owed to another. There are five elements, of a negligence claim:
Statute of Limitations for Truck Accident Claims
In Connecticut, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim arising from a truck accident is generally two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have two years from the accident date to initiate a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries.
However, it's important to note that there may be exceptions or variations to this general rule based on the specific circumstances of your case. For example, if the truck involved in the accident is owned or operated by a government entity, there may be additional notice requirements or different time limits to file a claim.
To ensure you comply with the appropriate statute of limitations and other relevant deadlines, it is advisable to consult with the expert legal team at BBB Attorneys, that is familiar with Connecticut law. We can assess the specific details of your truck accident case and provide guidance on the applicable deadlines and legal requirements for pursuing a claim.
