New law effective as of October 1, 2009.
If you have been involved in an automobile accident that is not your fault, an important practical question is whether the at-fault driver has insurance, and, if so, how much? The minimum amount of liability insurance required in Connecticut is only $20,000.00 per person and $40,000.00 per incident. Often, that is insufficient to cover
damages sustained in a collision. A new law in Connecticut requires the at-fault driver’s insurance company to tell you exactly how much insurance the driver
has. Prior to the passage of this law, many insurance companies refused to do so. This new law is important because it fosters prompt settlement of claims,
often without the need to initiate a lawsuit. The new law applies to accidents occurring after October 1, 2009.
