What is the deadline in Connecticut?

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 dense population, high healthcare utilization rates, and proximity to New York City's pharmaceutical litigation infrastructure make it a significant jurisdiction for gabapentin cognitive decline claims. The state has among the highest rates of insured residents in the nation, meaning gabapentin access is broadly available and prescribing volumes are substantial relative to its 3.6 million population. Connecticut's opioid crisis — particularly severe in cities like New Haven, Hartford, and Bridgeport — drove increased gabapentin prescribing as physicians sought alternatives. The state's product liability statute provides strong plaintiff protections, and Connecticut courts have experience with complex pharmaceutical litigation.

Connecticut gabapentin cases may be filed in the District of Connecticut (New Haven, Hartford, or Bridgeport divisions) or in Connecticut Superior Court. The state follows the Connecticut Product Liability Act (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-572m et seq.), which provides for strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty theories. Connecticut does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. The state's 3-year SOL provides more time than many neighboring states.
