What is the deadline in Connecticut?

Connecticut has a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability claims (CGS § 52-577a) and 2 years for personal injury (CGS § 52-584). Discovery rule applies — the SoL begins when injury is discovered or should have been discovered. 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.
