Connecticut has a 2-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims. Medical malpractice has a 2-year deadline from discovery but a 3-year statute of repose from the act or omission. Product liability has a 3-year statute of limitations.
Connecticut uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar. You cannot recover damages if you are 51% or more at fault for the accident. If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Some states limit the amount of damages you can recover in personal injury cases. Understanding these caps is crucial for setting realistic expectations.
No cap on non-economic damages for most personal injury cases
Punitive damages (called "common law punitive damages") are limited to litigation costs in most cases. Statutory punitive damages are available in product liability cases.
Connecticut is unusual in that common law punitive damages are limited to the cost of litigation (attorney fees and costs), not designed to punish. However, statutory punitive damages in product liability cases can exceed this limitation.
