132%

In 2021, the National Safety Council reported 200,995 preventable injury-related deaths, a 16.1% increase from 2020, with preventable accidents rising by 132% over three decades.

Personal Injury Statistics

Preventable injuries are very common in the United States. In 2020, the Insurance Information Institute (III) ranked accidental injury as the fourth leading cause of death nationwide, behind heart disease, cancer, and COVID-19.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) further reports that there were approximately 25 million physician visits and 98 million emergency room visits in 2018 due to unintentional injuries. Traffic accidents and falls are leading causes. In 2020, there were 40,698 motor vehicle accident fatalities and 42,114 deaths from unintentional falls nationwide.

Unfortunately, the numbers are on the rise. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), there were 200,995 preventable injury-related deaths nationwide in 2021 alone. This represents a 16.1 percent increase over the previous year. Further, though the national population has increased by about 30 percent over the past three decades, the rate of preventable accidents has increased by 132 percent in the same amount of time.

The numbers speak for themselves. If you were injured in an accident and someone else is to blame, you are likely entitled to legal compensation. Do not wait to have your case evaluated by an experienced personal injury attorney serving injury victims communities across Connecticut, including Hartford, Plainville, New Britain, Bristol, Glastonbury, and Southington.

What Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Injury victims can recover a wide variety of compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. Legal compensation comes in three primary categories: economic damages, noneconomic damages, and punitive damages.

Economic damages include things that can be easily reduced to a dollar value. For example, because medical bills and repair costs for damaged property come with fixed price tags, they are classified as economic damages. This category will also include things like lost wages and lowered earning capacity when your injuries affect your ability to work.

By contrast, non-economic damages include things that simply do not easily reduce to a fixed monetary value. Examples include:

Pain and suffering
Psychological trauma
Loss of society and companionship
Loss of consortium
Lowered quality of life
Inconvenience

Because these noneconomic losses are more subjective in nature, the amount a jury may award as compensation is difficult to predict. Therefore, it is important to have an attorney in your corner who can compellingly and empathetically communicate the full extent of your noneconomic losses to a jury. Unlike many states, Connecticut places no limit on the amount of noneconomic damages a jury may award.

Finally, in addition to the damages you may receive as compensation for your injuries, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party. Courts are normally reluctant to award this form of damages. However, it may be available in cases involving seriously dangerous and irresponsible behavior.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

In Connecticut, the statute of limitations governing most personal injury cases gives you two years from the date you were injured to file a lawsuit seeking compensation from the at-fault party. In cases where injuries are not immediately apparent, the two-year countdown begins on the date the injury was discovered or should reasonably have been discovered.

Failure to comply with the governing deadline almost always results in your case being dismissed in court. In turn, losing the ability to sue in court will destroy your bargaining power when negotiating an out-of-court settlement with the at-fault party and their insurers. To avoid this, speak to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after being injured in an accident. Time is of the essence.
