Waterbury Motorcycle Accident Attorney Dan Petroskey Explains Rider Rights and Compensation Under Connecticut Law
Motorcyclists often face serious injuries such as surgery and long rehabilitation because they lack a protective shell to absorb impact, according to Attorney Dan Petroskey.
Dan Petroskey identifies three main causes of serious motorcycle crashes: other drivers' negligence, dangerous road conditions, and defective motorcycle equipment.
Connecticut applies a modified comparative negligence rule for motorcycle accidents under Connecticut General Statutes § 52-572h, as explained by Petroskey.
Petroskey states that Connecticut law allows two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit, and missing this deadline usually means losing the right to compensation.
