Motorcycle Accidents in Meriden: The Real Story
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that at least 50 motorcycle riders die on Connecticut’s highways each year (NHSTA). With 68 people passing away as a result of motorcycle riding in 2021, it was one of the deadliest years on record for Connecticut residents who ride motorcycles.
Many motorcycle accidents, whether they are fatal or just result in injuries, are not the fault of the rider but rather the negligence of careless drivers.
In order to help a victim of a motorcycle accident or the family of a victim of a motorcycle-related death get justice and compensatory completeness, a law firm with experience in motorcycle injuries and accidents in Meriden can be of great assistance.

Caps on Punitive Damages vs. Actual Damages in Connecticut
While there is a cap on punitive damages in Connecticut, there is no cap on actual economic damages in personal injury claims.
Legal academics believe Connecticut’s punitive damages laws, which limit punitive damages to merely attorney fees and litigation costs, to be one of the strictest in the nation.
Punitive damages are only granted if the legal team filing the civil lawsuit determines the third party has done so purposefully and knowingly, as they are intended to penalize the party at fault. Unlike economic and non-economic damages, this separate type of damage would be awarded after any financial awards to punish the accused.
In contrast, wrongful act-related losses consist of things like “lost pay, medical bills, property damage, and pain and suffering.” Actual damages are not intended to punish the wrongdoer; instead, they are intended to make whole those who have suffered pain and suffering.
Whatever the precise sorts of damages, a reputable law company will be motivated to pursue the highest amount of compensation in your case.
