Statute of Limitations in Personal Injury Cases in Connecticut

When you get hurt – whether it is in a car accident or you are a victim of malpractice – it is a confusing time. What are your rights? Should you get a lawyer? What is fair? Those are questions that run through many people’s heads.  If you’ve been injured in Connecticut, it’s important to be aware of the statute of limitation. A statute of limitation is simply the statutory deadline for filing a lawsuit. After this deadline passes, it’s too late to bring a case against the person who caused your injury.
