Answers To Your

Frequently Asked Questions

The legal system can get extremely overwhelming, especially after a serious accident or the loss of a loved one. You likely have pressing questions about your rights, the claims process, and what to expect moving forward.

At Nugent & Bryant, we’re here to provide clear, straightforward answers to some of the most common legal concerns we get from our clients. Whether you’re dealing with an auto accident, a wrongful death claim, or a dog bite injury, we’re just a phone call away. If you don’t see your question answered here, call us today to set up a free consultation.

  • In Connecticut, you have two years from the date of a car accident to file a lawsuit for personal injury or property damage. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations, and it’s pretty strict—if you miss it, you may lose your right to seek compensation.

    But it’s important to note that there are some exceptions that can extend or shorten this timeframe. For example, if the accident resulted in a wrongful death, the two-year period begins on the date of the victim’s passing rather than the accident itself. Also, if the at-fault driver is a government employee or a municipal vehicle was involved, special notice requirements apply, and the deadline may be shorter.

    To make sure your case is strong and filed on time, team up with our New Haven car accident lawyer as soon as possible. At Nugent & Bryant, we handle every aspect of your claim, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, don’t hesitate to call us today and schedule your free consultation.

  • After a motorcycle accident, you should avoid admitting fault, giving recorded statements to insurance companies, delaying medical treatment, or accepting a quick settlement offer. These missteps will weaken your claim, which can ultimately reduce the compensation you may receive.

    Even if you think you may have contributed to the accident, never admit fault at the scene. Connecticut follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. Insurance companies may try to twist your words, so it’s best to speak with your lawyer before discussing any details of the accident with them. Also, avoid accepting a lowball settlement from the insurance company. Motorcycle accident injuries are often severe, and you may be entitled to far more compensation than initially offered.

    At Nugent & Bryant, we fight for injured motorcyclists and ensure insurance companies don’t take advantage of them. If you’ve been in a motorcycle accident, contact us today for a free consultation.

  • In Connecticut, only the executor or administrator of the deceased person’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit. This person is typically named in the deceased’s will, but if there is no will, the court will appoint someone—usually a close family member—to act on behalf of the estate.

    While the lawsuit is filed by the estate’s representative, compensation is meant to benefit the deceased’s surviving family. Damages may cover medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional pain of losing a loved one. In some cases, the deceased’s spouse, children, or other dependents may receive direct financial compensation.

    At Nugent & Bryant, our wrongful death attorneys help grieving families pursue justice and financial security after the loss of a loved one due to negligence. If you believe you have the grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim, reach out to us today for dependable legal representation.

  • To choose the right truck accident lawyer, look for an attorney with experience handling commercial truck cases, a strong track record of results, and a commitment to the people they serve. Truck accident cases are more complex than regular car accident claims because they often involve multiple liable parties, such as trucking companies, drivers, and vehicle manufacturers.

    A skilled Connecticut truck accident lawyer will understand federal trucking regulations, know how to analyze driver logs and black box data, and have experience negotiating against large trucking companies and their insurers. It’s also important to choose a firm that limits its caseload to ensure that your case gets the focused attention it deserves.

    At Nugent & Bryant, we have decades of experience representing victims of tractor-trailer and commercial truck accidents. We thoroughly investigate every case and aggressively pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, contact us today to learn how we can help.

  • Yes. If you’ve been bitten by a dog in Connecticut, you have the right to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, scarring, emotional distress, and other damages.

    Connecticut follows a strict liability law for dog bites, meaning the owner is automatically responsible—even if the dog had no prior history of aggression.This law protects victims by eliminating the need to prove negligence, which makes it easier to recover damages. However, exceptions exist. If the victim was trespassing or provoking the dog at the time of the attack, the owner may not be held liable.

    Dog bites can cause serious injuries and lasting emotional trauma, especially for children. At Nugent & Bryant, we help dog bite victims through the legal process and fight to pursue full compensation for their injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered a dog bite injury, schedule your free consultation today.
