What Damages Can Be Recovered After a Catastrophic Injury?
A catastrophic injury can create substantial financial and personal losses, particularly when someone requires ongoing medical care or can no longer work as they did before the accident. Under Connecticut law, recoverable damages in a personal injury claim may include both economic and non-economic losses, depending on the circumstances and evidence of the case. These may include:
Medical and rehabilitation expenses
Future medical or custodial care
Reduced or loss of earnings capacity
Physical pain and suffering
Mental and emotional suffering
Other documented losses related to the injury
Goff Law Group helps catastrophic injury victims pursue compensation that reflects both their immediate losses and long-term needs. Because every claim is different, the damages available will depend on the nature of the injury, its lasting effects, and the evidence supporting the losses.

Catastrophic Injury FAQs
What should I do after a catastrophic injury?
Seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow your doctors’ recommendations. Preserve evidence related to the accident, keep records of your medical care and expenses, and avoid giving statements to insurance companies before speaking with our attorneys.
How long do I have to file a catastrophic injury claim in Hartford, CT?
Connecticut generally gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584, although the specific deadline can vary depending on the circumstances and parties involved. Some claims may also be subject to a three-year outside limit or different notice requirements.
Will I have to go to trial?
Not necessarily. Many catastrophic injury claims are resolved through settlement negotiations without going to trial. However, if an insurance company or opposing party refuses to offer fair compensation, our team is prepared to pursue litigation and advocate for your interests in court.
When will my case be resolved?
Every catastrophic injury case has its own timeline. Resolution may depend on the severity of your injuries, the length of your medical treatment, the complexity of determining liability, the amount of damages involved, and whether the case proceeds to litigation.
How much do catastrophic injury lawyers cost?
At Goff Law Group, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This generally means you do not pay attorney fees upfront, and our fee comes from the compensation recovered on your behalf. We will explain the fee arrangement and any case-related expenses before you decide to move forward.
