Statute of Limitations
Connecticut: 3 years for product liability (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-577). Discovery rule applies under the accidental failure of suit doctrine. Connecticut uses a 3-year general tort statute rather than a specific product liability statute, and courts apply the discovery rule in latent injury cases.

Where to File in Connecticut
Connecticut has a single federal judicial district — the District of Connecticut, with courthouses in New Haven, Hartford, and Bridgeport. Connecticut follows a modified comparative fault system (49 percent bar). The state's Product Liability Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-572m et seq.) consolidates all product liability claims into a single statutory framework. Connecticut does not cap compensatory damages but applies a punitive damages limitation of litigation costs only (no common law punitive damages).
