01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Connecticut?
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. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Connecticut's affluent population and proximity to New York City's academic medical centers create a unique Dupixent litigation profile: high prescribing volume, excellent diagnostic infrastructure, and a sophisticated jury pool. An estimated 30,000 Connecticut residents have been prescribed Dupixent since 2017, with heavy prescribing through Yale-New Haven Health, Hartford Healthcare, and the many dermatology practices serving Fairfield County's Gold Coast communities. Yale Cancer Center — an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center — provides world-class cutaneous lymphoma expertise. Connecticut's Product Liability Act consolidates failure-to-warn, design defect, and manufacturing defect claims into a unified statutory framework, simplifying pleading but also requiring compliance with specific procedural requirements.
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).
