01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Connecticut?

Connecticut imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability and personal injury claims (C.G.S. § 52-577a, § 52-584). Connecticut courts apply a reliability-based expert admissibility standard under Conn. Code Evid. § 7-2, similar to Daubert. A lawyer can confirm yours.

The discovery rule applies to latent pharmaceutical injuries. Connecticut's dense pharmaceutical corridor history creates a significant claimant population with Zantac prescription histories.

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 has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Connecticut courts apply a Daubert-like standard under the Connecticut Code of Evidence § 7-2. Connecticut's proximity to New York makes coordination with national plaintiffs' firms straightforward. The federal Zantac MDL (No. 2924, S.D. Florida) was largely dismissed after Judge Robin Rosenberg's 2022 Daubert ruling excluded plaintiffs' causation experts.
