Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in Connecticut?
In Connecticut, you generally have two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered to file a lawsuit. However, there is an absolute deadline of three years from the date of the negligent act, except in cases of foreign objects left in the body or fraud.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a medical malpractice case in Connecticut?
Yes, Connecticut law requires your attorney to file a certificate of merit with the complaint. This certificate must state that a similar healthcare provider has reviewed the case and believes there is evidence of medical negligence.
What damages can I recover in a Connecticut medical malpractice case?
You can recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Connecticut caps non-economic damages at $250,000 in cases against state-employed providers, but there is no cap for private providers.
