CT Injury Cases

Connecticut personal injury litigation data: motor vehicle (car accident) injury cases in Connecticut Superior Court, Hartford Judicial District, from public court records. Case outcomes and dispositions, time to disposition, trial rates, jury verdict and accepted settlement-offer amounts, motion rulings, and profiles of the judges, law firms, attorneys and medical experts involved. Free, over REST and MCP.

Derived from public Connecticut court records; not the official record; verify with the court.

MCP (streamable HTTP, no auth): https://ctinjurycases.com/mcp
REST: GET https://ctinjurycases.com/v1/<tool>?<parameters> or POST a JSON body; add format=md for markdown.
OpenAPI: https://ctinjurycases.com/openapi.json
Every tool takes an optional purpose: one sentence on what you are trying to find out. It is logged, never returned.
Limits are per client, except that Claude's and ChatGPT's hosted connectors call from their platform's servers, so each platform's users share one pool. Connecting directly (e.g. Claude Code, or REST from your own machine) has its own per-user limit.

Metrics

case_count

Number of cases, open or closed.

n counts: Cases.
Counts: Every case on record.

disposition_mix

Closed cases counted by disposition category, in counts.

n counts: Cases closed in the window.
Counts: Only cases closed from closedFrom to closedTo.
Counts only cases closed in the 330 days ending at the as-of date (closedFrom to closedTo): the court removes withdrawn cases about a year after withdrawal, so only the last ~11 months of closures are complete. A district last fetched before the as-of date contributes closures only up to its fetch date, a slightly shorter window; the closures it does contribute are still complete.
Closures on record cluster in this window anyway: the court has already removed older withdrawals, so earlier years hold mostly judgments.
Contested trials are rare, about 0.5% of closures, so any split of them is thin; always read n.

median_days_to_disposition

Median days from filing to disposition, as medianDays.

n counts: Cases closed in the window.
Counts: Only cases closed from closedFrom to closedTo.
Counts only cases closed in the 330 days ending at the as-of date (closedFrom to closedTo): the court removes withdrawn cases about a year after withdrawal, so only the last ~11 months of closures are complete. A district last fetched before the as-of date contributes closures only up to its fetch date, a slightly shorter window; the closures it does contribute are still complete.
Closures on record cluster in this window anyway: the court has already removed older withdrawals, so earlier years hold mostly judgments.

trial_rate

Share of closed cases that went through a contested trial to a jury or the court, as rate, with the count as trials. A hearing that only set damages (disposition damages_hearing) is not a trial.

n counts: Cases closed in the window.
Counts: Only cases closed from closedFrom to closedTo.
Counts only cases closed in the 330 days ending at the as-of date (closedFrom to closedTo): the court removes withdrawn cases about a year after withdrawal, so only the last ~11 months of closures are complete. A district last fetched before the as-of date contributes closures only up to its fetch date, a slightly shorter window; the closures it does contribute are still complete.
Closures on record cluster in this window anyway: the court has already removed older withdrawals, so earlier years hold mostly judgments.
Contested trials are rare, about 0.5% of closures, so any split of them is thin; always read n.

plaintiff_verdict_rate

Plaintiff verdicts as a share of plaintiff plus defense verdicts, as rate, with the count as plaintiffVerdicts.

n counts: Plaintiff plus defense verdicts; mixed verdicts are left out.
Counts: Every case on record.
Counts every verdict on record, since verdicts are not removed from the court website, but recent years hold only a few verdicts each; always read n.

net_verdict

Net plaintiff jury verdict after comparative negligence, in cents: medianCents, and the nearest-rank 25th and 75th percentiles as p25Cents and p75Cents.

n counts: Plaintiff or mixed jury verdicts whose amount was read from the verdict form.
Counts: Every case on record.
Counts every verdict on record, since verdicts are not removed from the court website, but recent years hold only a few verdicts each; always read n.

accepted_offer

Accepted offer of compromise, in cents: medianCents, and the nearest-rank 25th and 75th percentiles as p25Cents and p75Cents.

n counts: Cases closed in the window with an accepted offer whose amount was read.
Counts: Only cases closed from closedFrom to closedTo.
Counts only cases closed in the 330 days ending at the as-of date (closedFrom to closedTo): the court removes withdrawn cases about a year after withdrawal, so only the last ~11 months of closures are complete. A district last fetched before the as-of date contributes closures only up to its fetch date, a slightly shorter window; the closures it does contribute are still complete.
Most cases with an accepted offer then close by withdrawal, which the court removes about a year later; hence the window.

motion_grant_rate

Granted rulings as a share of decided ones, as rate, with the count as granted. Counted per ruling, not per case.

n counts: Decided rulings: granted, denied or granted in part. Off-calendar, withdrawn and bare orders are left out.
Counts: Every ruling on record.

Groups

Any group of 3 or fewer cases is suppressed: it shows suppressed: true and no values.
injury_kind and injury_region are multi-valued: one case can sit in several of their groups, so those groups overlap and their counts can add up to more than the total.
At most 100 groups, largest n first; truncated says whether more exist.

Example: https://ctinjurycases.com/v1/stats?metric=net_verdict&group_by=injury_kind

search_judges

List judges by name and district, with case counts, most cases first. get_judge gives one judge in full.
