injury comes within the purview of torts law. Torts are civil wrongs. In case of successful tort
action, the one who causes the injury has to compensate the one who suffered losses.

responsible for the accident up to 50% can receive
compensation for personal injuries caused by that accident.
The compensation received would be in proportion to the
extent to which the injured is not at fault for the accident. No
compensation is allowed to the injured who is 51% or more
at fault for the accident.

economic damages, i.e. compensation for pecuniary losses,
including cost of medical and custodial care, and non-

mental, and emotional pain and suffering caused by the accident. Connecticut laws allow the

case negligence of the injured has been established. It is very important to talk about the details
