Where to File in Connecticut
Connecticut personal injury claims are governed by Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-577a for environmental tort claims, with a 3-year limitations period from the date of discovery — more favorable than the general 2-year period. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873. Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks and the Connecticut Air National Guard 103rd Airlift Wing are primary military PFAS contamination sources. Industrial PFAS users in the Naugatuck Valley include electroplating and metal finishing operations.
