In many Connecticut personal injury cases, the general deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the date of injury under C.G.S. § 52-584. However, pedestrian accident cases involving defective roads, sidewalks, bridges, public property, municipal vehicles, or other government-related issues may involve shorter notice requirements, some as short as 90 days. Because deadlines can vary based on the facts, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after the accident.
