Connecticut Pain & Suffering Calculator

Connecticut places no cap on compensatory damages — the full multiplier range applies. The real limit is fault: Connecticut's "51% rule" bars recovery only once your fault exceeds the defendants' combined fault, a one-point-higher threshold than states with a flat 50% bar.

No cap, and a fault rule one point more forgiving

Connecticut imposes no statutory cap on compensatory damages in personal injury cases — the full multiplier range applies, with no ceiling. Under Conn. Gen. Stat. §52-572h, you can recover as long as your negligence "was not greater than" the combined negligence of the defendants — meaning you're barred only once your fault exceeds 50%, reaching 51% or more. At exactly 50% fault, you can still recover a reduced amount, a one-point-higher threshold than states that bar recovery at exactly 50%.
