Product Liability Statute Of Limitations in Connecticut

Connecticut’s product liability statute of limitations is governed by Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-584, which sets a two-year filing window. This statutory provision establishes the time limit within which a claimant must initiate a lawsuit for personal injury or property damage arising from a defective product. The clock generally begins to run from the date the injury or damage is first sustained or discovered. The statute also provides for certain exceptions and conditions that may affect the calculation of this deadline. The worked example below demonstrates how the two-year period applies under the rule. For an estimate tailored to a specific timeline, use the DocketMath calculator, and consult the official source at the Connecticut General Assembly website for the full statutory text.
