02/27/2018 Have you been injured in a car accident in Connecticut due to another driver? You have the right to receive compensation for your injuries and damages. Connecticut is an at-fault insurance state so the at-fault driver is financially responsible for the accident. However, proving fault on the part of the other driver is critical but challenging because not all accidents are caused by one party.
The state of Connecticut has implemented a modified comparative fault system of negligence. According to this theory, if a plaintiff contributes to his or her own injuries, he or she will not be barred from recovering damages but the recoverable damages will be reduced according to his or her degree of fault


Evidence Required to Prove Fault


Strong supporting evidence is important if there is a dispute over who is at fault for the accident. It is crucial to hire an experienced attorney as soon as possible after the accident. An attorney will be able to immediately investigate the accident, and gather and secure all the evidence relevant to your case. Evidence that can be used to prove your case include:

• Photographs of the accident scene
  
• Photographs of the damaged vehicle
  
• The police report
  
• Records of traffic tickets or citations issued relative to the accident
  
• Witnesses testimonies
  
• Testimony from an accident recreation expert
