Where to File in Connecticut
Connecticut applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar. Connecticut has a stronger-than-average union tradition in construction, and union safety documentation is frequently available in Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven construction accident cases. Federal OSHA governs Connecticut construction. Connecticut's proximity to New York City means some large construction projects have NY-based GCs familiar with Labor Law §240, though §240 applies only to New York worksites. Connecticut construction accident cases are filed in the Connecticut Superior Court.
