Treble Damages in Connecticut

In Connecticut, treble damages under the theft statute are three times the amount stolen. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-564 awards a successful plaintiff three times the value of the property or money taken. The statute applies when a person wrongfully takes and carries away another’s personal property with the intent to deprive the owner of it permanently. The court automatically multiplies the proven actual damages by three, without requiring additional proof of harm. The worked example below demonstrates how this calculation applies. For a precise estimate based on your specific loss, the DocketMath calculator can compute the trebled amount using the official statute.
