Are You Eligible for Damages in Your Truck Accident Case in Meriden, CT?
If you or someone you love is the wrongful victim of an accident with a truck or tractor-trailer, you may be eligible to receive economic, non-economic, or punitive damages as a result.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are the most common damages awarded in a Meriden personal injury case. These are the types of losses that can be easily calculated and quantified, such as lost wages, medical bills and property replacement and repair.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are those that cannot be easily calculated or quantified, such as those relating to pain and suffering. In most states, these types of damages are only awarded if they can be proven to exist.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages, also known as exemplary damages, are not available in all states but may be awarded if the defendant has done something particularly egregious.
In the state of Connecticut, there is no cap on economic or non-economic damages. However, there is a cap on punitive damages. In Connecticut, they are limited to cover only the legal fees and other costs associated with the case litigation.
Additionally, punitive damages in Connecticut come with a high burden of proof for the plaintiff. The legal team bringing the civil suit can only receive punitive damages if the court finds that the third party committed fraud, misconduct, malice, or negligence intentionally and knowingly.
