Interstate 95 is a part of everyday life for many Connecticut commuters. This highway runs primarily east-west through the most populated parts of the state, and I-95 is notorious for heavy traffic. It’s possible for accidents to occur on the highway for many reasons, and it is important to know what you can do if you experience such an accident. A Connecticut Interstate 95 car accident lawyer can help you pursue accountability and compensation for your losses.
The team at Miller, Rosnick, D’Amico, August & Butler has more than 250 combined years of experience helping injured clients throughout Connecticut recover from all types of vehicle accidents. While any crash can have devastating effects, accidents on highways like I-95 can be particularly destructive.
Many highway accidents happen at high speeds, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that in 2022, speeding contributed to the deaths of more than 12,000 people throughout the United States. Traffic congestion can also easily lead to all types of dangerous situations. While the majority of highway accidents happen because of driver negligence, it is also possible for intentional misconduct to have dangerous consequences.
A recent road rage incident in December 2024 on I-95 was a very dangerous situation that led to the arrest of an aggressive driver after he threw objects at another motorist. Thankfully, the incident did not result in a collision.
The Connecticut Crash Data Repository reported more than 98,000 vehicle accidents involving more than 235,000 people between January 2024 and January 2025. For all accident cases involving more than one vehicle, Connecticut uses a fault rule to resolve the aftermath. This means the at-fault driver is liable for the resulting damages, and an injured driver must prove fault before they can claim compensation for their damages.
When highway accidents happen, they usually happen very fast, and you may have little to no recollection of the circumstances that led to your collision. Working with an experienced attorney can make proving fault for your accident much easier. The right attorney can help you gather evidence that you would otherwise be unable to obtain on your own.
Some of the most common causes of accidents on I-95 include distracted driving, speeding, driver errors, and intoxicated driving. Whatever caused your accident, you can rely on your attorney to establish fault and guide you through the recovery process. Every Connecticut driver is required to have auto insurance that meets minimum coverage requirements, and your attorney can help you file your claim.
