CONNECTICUT STATUTES OF LIMITATION

Statutes of Limitation restrict the time period that a person can file a lawsuit. These statutes not only vary by state, but they also vary by cause of action. The following guide provides limitations periods for each state, but only for particular causes of action; those related to Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, and Products liability claims. The sections discussing special rules for minors only apply to the causes of action listed for that particular state.

Personal Injury Actions
A personal injury action must be filed within two years of the date of the injury.

Medical Malpractice Actions
A injured person must file suit against a health-care provider within two years of the date the injury is first sustained or discovered. In no event can suit be filed more than three years from the date that the negligent act or omission occurred.

Products Liability Actions
These actions must be brought within three years of the date that the injury occurred or within three years of the date when the injury was, or should have been discovered.

Special Rules for Minors
Connecticut has no statute that extends the limitations period in favor of minors.
