What is the deadline in Connecticut?
Connecticut has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (CGS § 52-584). Modified comparative fault with 51% bar — recovery barred if plaintiff is 51% or more at fault. Claims against the State of Connecticut for defective state highways require written notice to the Commissioner of Transportation within 90 days (CGS § 13a-144); injuries caused by state-owned motor vehicles can be sued on directly under CGS § 52-556. 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.
