The filing that matters is a civil complaint in Connecticut Superior Court, and the deadline is usually 2 years from the crash under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584. So the smarter move is wait and do not sign Amazon's release yet.

A release usually ends the claim for good. If your neck, back, or head symptoms are still changing, or the paperwork is only in English and the adjuster is pushing a year-end payment, signing now can cut off money for later treatment, lost wages, and pain claims.

The next question you should be asking is: who exactly owned, operated, and insured the van?

That matters a lot with Amazon crashes in Greenwich. The van may say Amazon, but the driver is often employed by a separate Delivery Service Partner, and sometimes there is also a vehicle owner, a commercial insurer, and Amazon's own layers of coverage all pointing at each other.

Get the Connecticut Uniform Police Crash Report first. If the wreck happened on the Merritt Parkway in Greenwich, it was likely handled by Connecticut State Police Troop G, which covers the Merritt from Greenwich to Stratford. That report helps identify the driver, plate, owner, and employer.

Do not give a recorded statement just because the adjuster says the file will close by December.

Before any release is signed, make sure you know:

• the full policy limits
• whether the driver was on route and working
• whether there is a separate commercial auto policy
• whether your own policy has MedPay or uninsured/underinsured coverage

If the release is already attached to a check, do not deposit it until the wording is translated and reviewed carefully. In Connecticut, a rushed settlement over a commercial vehicle crash can be worth far less than the claim once the employment and insurance structure is untangled.
