Motorcycle Accident FAQs

How do you prove liability?

Liability is usually proven by showing that another driver acted negligently—such as speeding, failing to yield, or being distracted—and that their actions caused the crash. Evidence like police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction can all help establish fault.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?

In Connecticut, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.

What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?

You may still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Under Connecticut’s comparative negligence law, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible.

Should I avoid talking to the other side’s insurance company?

Yes. Their goal is to minimize what they pay, and anything you say could be used against you. It’s best to let our team handle communications on your behalf.

What should I do after a motorcycle accident?

After a crash, make sure to:

  • Get medical attention right away
  • Call the police and obtain a report
  • Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and your injuries
  • Exchange information with the other driver
  • Contact a lawyer as soon as possible

How much is my case worth?

The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and how the accident has impacted your daily life. We can review your case and provide a clearer estimate.

What if the driver claims they couldn’t see my motorcycle?

This is a common excuse, but it doesn’t absolve drivers of responsibility. All motorists are required to watch for motorcycles and share the road safely.
