Legal Question in Traffic Law in Connecticut

Re: rear ended by salvage tittled vehicle

Greetings. Thank you for allowing me to respond. Your question appears to involve both an automobile negligence action and possibly a products liability action. For the Statute of Limitations on these types of claims, see Florida Statutes, Section 95.11 and 95.031(2)(b).

Section 95.11 generally states that for both of these claims, there is a 4 year limitation period.

Some but not all options:

-Generally, in rear end cases, the person that rear-ended you, is generally at fault for negligence. Under your facts presented, you may have be able to pursue a negligence lawsuit. HOWEVER, in order for a realistic chance of a money recovery, the other driver must have bodily injury liability or you must have uninsured/underinsured bodily injury liability coverage. This is important because if the other driver and you did not have either of these types of coverages, it will be difficult to collect a judgment without these coverages, unless, the other driver was working for someone else at the time of the accident.

-As far as a product liability action: these are difficult because generally you must hire an expert to render an opinion that the product was defective. Without evidence of the motor vehicle, this would be difficult.

In summary, I would consult a personal injury attorney in your area for more advice and options.
