App. 422, 432 (1994); cert. granted on other grounds, 229 Conn. 901, aff'd 231 Conn. 370 (1995); that the statute of limitations applicable to the intervening complaint of an employer is the two-year period specified in General Statutes § 52-584. ... In view of this ruling and because the Packtor ruling is controlling precedent, this court must reject the employer's suggestion that only compliance with the thirty-day provision, and not with the statute of limitation, is required. ... The ruling of the Appellate Court in Packtor, which this court must adhere to as precedent, requires the conclusion that the employer's claim is barred by the statute of limitations. The defendant's motion for summary judgment is therefore granted.

Section 52-584 imposes a two year limitation period, and an amendment relates back when it does not allege a new cause of action.

Ambrosini v. Johnson Memorial Hosp., Inc., No. Cv 950548576s (Sep. 11, 1996) · filed 1996-09-11

Dr. Arbulu also argues that the proposed new cause of action against him is barred by the two year statute of limitations in General Statutes § 52-584. I disagree. "It is well settled that amendments, unless they allege a new cause of action, relate back to the date of the complaint." Bakerv. Baker, 166 Conn. 476, 486, 352 A.2d 277 (1974), overruled on other grounds, LaBow v. LaBow, 171 Conn. 433, 441, 370 A.2d 990 (1976). Additionally, a change in or an addition to a ground of negligence or an act of negligence does not change the cause of action where the group of facts originally claimed to have brought about the injury is not altered. Cooper v. Ketover,35 Conn. Sup. 38, 43, 393 A.2d 64 (1978). The gravamen of the plaintiff's complaint as to how the injuries occurred, specifically, upon the igniting of an instrument being used during surgery, has remained consistent in her proposed second amended revised complaint. Plaintiff simply wishes to change CT Page 5420 and/or reinsert allegation of liability in her complaint. A change in an allegation of liability does not introduce a new cause of action. Jonap v. Silver, 1 Conn. App. 550, 556,474 A.2d 800 (1984); Cooper v. Ketover, supra, 35 Conn. Sup. 43. Considering all of the facts and circumstances present, I conclude that the proposed second amended complaint does not give rise to a new and different cause of action because plaintiff's theories of liability arise from a single group of facts.

Section 52-584 does not bar an amended complaint that relates back to the original filing because it changes only the accident location and the defendant had notice.

McGinnis v. Yale University, No. Cv 940361530 (Nov. 5, 1996) · filed 1996-11-05

The single group of facts alleged in the original complaint demonstrating an "existence of a primary right in the plaintiff" and an "invasion of that right by some delict on the part of the defendant" have not changed in the amended complaint. Burgess v.Vanguard Ins. Co., supra, 192 Conn. 125. The only change is the table's location of which the defendant knew through its investigator. Accordingly, it is submitted that the present case is analogous to Conry v. Baltimore O.R. Co., Kelcey v. TankersCompany, and Harastej v. Reliable Car Rental, Inc. because the only change in the amended complaint is the location of the accident and the defendant knew all along that the accident occurred in the other location.3 Therefore, the defendant has been placed on notice of the plaintiff's cause of action and will not be prejudiced in defending a stale claim. The court denies defendant's Motion For Summary Judgment.

Section 52-584 does not bar negligence allegations added later when they relate back to timely earlier pleadings arising from the same facts.

Dipalma v. State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins., No. Cv95-0381270s (Jul. 23, 1997) · filed 1997-07-23

The allegations made by the plaintiffs in the fourth and fifth counts of the second amended complaint relate back to the first and second counts of the complaint and the revised complaint filed on December 1, 1995 and March 26, 1996 respectively. The plaintiffs' allegations sounding in negligence are therefore not barred by the statute of limitations, and the motion to strike the defendant's special defenses as to counts four and five is granted.

Section 52-584's limitations period does not bar negligence allegations that relate back to timely earlier pleadings.

Dipalma v. State Farm Mutual Insurance, No. Cv95-0381270s (Jul. 24, 1997) · filed 1997-07-24

The allegations made by the plaintiffs in the fourth and fifth counts of the second amended complaint relate back to the first and second counts of the complaint and the revised complaint filed on December 1, 1995 and March 26, 1996 respectively. The plaintiffs' allegations sounding in negligence are therefore not barred by the statute of limitations, and the motion to strike the defendant's special defense as to counts four and five is granted.

Section 52-584 supplies the limitations defense invoked against amended negligence allegations, which may relate back when the original complaint provided fair notice of the same occurrence.

Spink v. St. Mary's Roman Catholic Ch., No. Cv95 0142994 S (Apr. 2, 1998) · filed 1998-04-02

Specifically, the plaintiff is seeking to recover damages for alleged injuries arising from a fall near the front doors of a church. The plaintiff's new allegations do not change that cause of action. Rather, the plaintiff simply adds additional, similar allegations of the possible causes of that fall. The original complaint provided fair notice of the plaintiff's amended claims against the defendant. Therefore, the relation back doctrine applies. The defendant's motion for summary judgment is denied.

Section 52-584 bars negligence or malpractice injury actions after two years from discovery and absolutely after three years from the act or omission.

Zorick v. Schwartz, No. Cv 96 056 58 14 (Jul. 19, 1999) · filed 1999-07-19

Accordingly, if the amended complaint alleges a new cause of action, the proposed amendment will be barred by the statute of limitations. If, however, the proposed amendment relates back to the original complaint, it is not time barred. ... The proposed amended complaint here sets forth a new and separate cause of the plaintiff's injuries; the issues raised are factually different from the issues raised by the plaintiff's initial allegations of negligence (negligent surgical procedure, and, negligent post operative monitoring). Accordingly, the allegations contained in the proposed amendment set forth, I believe, a separate cause of action that is time barred.

Section 52-584's two-year limitations period does not bar an added property damage claim arising from the same negligent act when it relates back to a timely personal injury complaint.

Williams v. Miclette, No. Cv96 0136221 (Nov. 10, 1999) · filed 1999-11-10

The defendant Miclette claims that the request for compensation for property damage is improper because it is a new cause of action filed outside of the two year statute of limitations. ... Furthermore, the statute of limitations has not run on the property damage claim because it relates back to the date of the filing of the personal injury complaint.

Section 52-584 requires negligence actions to be brought within two years, subject to relation back when an amendment does not add a new cause of action.

Rizio v. Town of Trumbull, No. Cv97-033 99 65 S (Dec. 2, 1999) · filed 1999-12-02

Here, the plaintiff has not added facts to the negligence count, but has changed the statutory basis for the negligence claim from §§ 7-101a and 7-465 to § 52-557n. The occurrence upon which the plaintiff bases her claim has not changed. Accordingly, the claim for damages under § 52-557n relates back to the previous timely filed complaint, and is therefore not barred by the statute of limitations.

Section 52-584 requires an action for injury to the person to be brought within two years after the injury is sustained.

Lugauskas v. Reis, No. Cv 00-0161575s (Nov. 29, 2001) · filed 2001-11-29

The issue before the court is whether the plaintiffs motion for summary judgment as to the defendant's second special defense should be granted on the grounds that the allegations asserted in counts two and three of the amended complaint relate back to the original complaint and, therefore, are timely under General Statutes § 52-584. ... Therefore, Lugauskas' new claims relate back to the filing of her original complaint and are not time barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Accordingly, the plaintiffs motion for summary judgment as to the defendant's second special defense is granted by the court.

Section 52-584 does not bar an amended negligence claim when it relates back to the original complaint because it does not assert a new cause of action.

Bosco v. Regan · filed 2007-07-24

On the basis of our conclusion that the plaintiffs amended complaint did not raise a new cause of action, but rather amplified the allegations in her original complaint, we conclude that the allegations in the amended complaint related back to the earlier complaint and thus were not time barred.

Section 52-584 sets two-year and three-year limits for negligence and malpractice actions, subject to its stated exceptions.

Dilieto v. County Obstetrics & Gynecology Group, P.C. · filed 2010-06-29

According to the defendants, the specifications are barred by the applicable statute of limitations, General Statutes § 52-584,38 because the complaint was not amended to include these allegations until July 2, 1998, after the limitation period had expired. We also disagree with this claim. ... General Statutes § 52-584 provides in relevant part: “No action to recover damages for injury to the person . . . caused by negligence ... or by malpractice of a physician, surgeon . . . [or] hospital . . . shall be brought but within two years from the date when the irtjury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered, and except that no such action may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission complained of, except that a counterclaim may be interposed in any such action any time before the pleadings in such action are finally closed.”

Section 52-584's limitations period does not bar an amended medical malpractice complaint that relates back to the original complaint.

Miller v. Fishman · filed 2007-07-10

We further conclude that the proposed amended complaint related back to the original complaint, and, therefore, the plaintiffs’ causes of action were not barred by the applicable statute of limitations. ... Indeed, it is well settled that an amended complaint relates back to and is treated as filed at the time of the original complaint unless it alleges a new cause of action. ... Thus, an amendment cannot allege a new cause of action that would be barred by the statute of limitations if filed independently.

MacDermid v. Todd Cassanelli, Inc., No. Cv 960070259 (Sep. 17, 1996) · filed 1996-09-17

Notwithstanding the fact, as pointed out by the defendants, CT Page 5466 that Columbia Records, Inc. v. Bradley Sons Inc., supra,17 Conn.

In the present case, there is a genuine issue as to when the damage or harm occurred and therefore the date when the statute of limitations commenced. ... This issue must be decided by the fact finder and therefore the defendants motion for Summary Judgement as to the first count is denied.

Section 52-584 does not govern a negligence-based indemnification claim; section 52-598a supplies the limitations period.

Desanti v. Shelton Square Lp, No. Cv96 033 80 65 (Sep. 14, 1998) · filed 1998-09-14

General Statutes § 52-598a does not differentiate between causes of action based on tort, negligence or contract, but calls for an uniform statute of limitations for indemnification actions. Though the first count of the crossclaim is based on negligence, the first count seeks indemnification from Eastern should a judgment be rendered against Shelton Square in the underlying action. The first count of the crossclaim is, therefore, governed by the statute of limitations set forth in § 52-598a, which has not yet begun to accrue.

Section 52-584 does not govern tort based indemnification actions, whose timeliness is measured from accrual.

Connecticut Attorneys Title v. McDonough, No. Cv 930530925 (Dec. 4, 1996) · filed 1996-12-04

By clarifying its intent as to the substantive reach of its general tort and negligence statutes of limitations, General Statutes §§ 52-577 and 52-584, and eliminating from the scope of those statutes any indemnification actions founded upon a tort, the legislature signalled its intent to revert to the time-honored common-law rule, and thus to assess the timeliness of such actions measuring from the date of accrual, not from the date of the underlying injury.

Section 52-584 does not bar an indemnification action governed by § 52-598, which allows three years from judgment or settlement to bring the action.

Connecticut General Statutes § 52-584, upon which Shelby relies in support of its motion, is codified in chapter 926 of the General Statutes.

So worded, Section 52-584 establishes two related deadlines for the bringing of negligence, malpractice or recklessness actions. The first is a two-year period of limitations, running from the time when plaintiff's "injury is first sustained or ... discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered," id., until the date the action is served upon the defendant. ... The second is a three-year period of limitations, running from the "date of the act or omission complained of," General Statutes § 52-584, until the date on which the action is served. To comply with the statute's requirements, a plaintiff must bring her action before either of these periods expires.

For the foregoing reasons, the court finds defendants have sufficiently met their burden of showing the absence of any material fact in dispute and that they are entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the ground that the plaintiff's claims are barred by the statute of limitations. Accordingly, the defendants' motions for summary judgment are granted.

General Statutes § 52-584 requires a plaintiff to file suit within two years of discovering an "injury" or be forever barred from suit. ... In my view, although it is clear from the deposition excerpts that Mr. Matteson thought he might have a claim against Dr. Belniak when he went to the attorney, that was a far cry from his having discovered "the essential elements of a cause of action".

Section 52-584 gives a plaintiff two years from when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered through reasonable care; a factual dispute about that date can prevent summary judgment.

Wade v. Bridgeport Hospital, No. Cv97 34 30 69 S (Sep. 15, 2000) · filed 2000-09-15

However, § 52-584 provides that an action should be commenced within two years from the date the injury was discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered. ...

In the present case, a genuine issue of material fact exists as to the date Harvey Adams discovered, or in the exercise of reasonable care should have discovered, that he sustained some form of actionable harm, which started the running of the statute of limitations. ... Accordingly, the resolution of the question is one for the trier of fact and not for the trial court, therefore, summary judgment in favor of the defendants must be denied.

(Emphasis added.) Consequently, claims for negligence and recklessness must be brought within two years.

Section 52-584 bars a negligence claim after the applicable two-year limitations period expires.

Brzezinek v. Covenant Insurance Company, No. Cv-00-0505956 S (Aug. 7, 2001) · filed 2001-08-07

As the Brzezineks' attorney's letter reflects, as of February 14, 2000, the date of acceptance, the claims were barred by the operations of the applicable two year statute of limitations. See General Statutes §52-584. As of that date, the Brzezineks' claims were no longer viable. Under the circumstances, Covenant's offer could have been accepted only prior to the running of the statute of limitations. Here, where the acceptance was transmitted weeks after the limitations period expired, the acceptance was untimely. Accordingly, no contract was created thereby.

Section 52-584 bars negligence actions filed beyond its applicable limitation period.

Cimini v. Walker, No. Cv-00 0442068 S (Sep. 6, 2001) · filed 2001-09-06

Hoskinson v. Regional School District 1, No. Cv 00 0083953s (Nov. 16, 2001) · filed 2001-11-16

General Statutes § 52-584 provides in relevant part: "No action to recover damages for _____ injury to the person . . . caused by negligence . . . shall be brought but within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered, and except that no such action may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission complained of. . . ." ... In this case, it is undisputed that the plaintiff commenced this action against the Town of North Canaan more than two years after her injury. ... Therefore, the defendant's motion for summary judgment is granted.

Section 52-584 sets a two-year deadline for actions seeking damages for personal injury caused by negligence or reckless or wanton misconduct.

Donaldson v. Transalliance, Inc., No. Cv99 36 48 36 S (Feb. 27, 2001) · filed 2001-02-27

Pursuant the General Statutes § 52-584, "[n]o action to recover damage for injury to the person . . . caused by negligence, or by reckless or wanton misconduct . . . shall be brought but within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered. . . ." ... In this case, the plaintiffs' recklessness claims are premised on the same circumstances as the claims set forth in their initial complaint. In the new claims, the plaintiffs expand on their negligence claims and set forth the alternative theory that the defendants' conduct was reckless. Therefore, pursuant to Gurliacci v. Mayer, the plaintiffs' recklessness claims relate back to the filing of the initial complaint and therefore are not barred by limitations. Therefore, the court denies the defendants' motion to strike these claims on the basis of limitations.

Section 52-584 requires personal injury negligence actions to be brought within two years after the injury is first sustained or discovered.

Tomlinson v. Caciopli, No. Cv 99-0432372 (Jul. 2, 2001) · filed 2001-07-02

Given the explicit language of § 52-584, an action to recover damages for personal injuries caused by the alleged negligence of one or more persons involved in a motor vehicle accident is an action enumerated in § 52-584.

Section 52-584 gives medical malpractice plaintiffs two years to sue after discovering actionable harm, subject to tolling under the continuous treatment or continuing course of conduct doctrines.

Cook v. Frankel, No. Cv 0416326 (Sep. 17, 2001) · filed 2001-09-17

General Statutes § 52-584 bars the institution of a medical malpractice action more than two years after the date of the discovery of the injury, or, the exercise of reasonable care, the date on which said injury should have been discovered. ... From the foregoing the court finds that the defendant has not met his burden of proving that there is no genuine issue of material fact as to whether the continuous treatment or continuing course of conduct doctrine applies to toll the statute of limitations. ... Because of the existence of the aforesaid genuine issue of material fact, the defendant's motion for summary judgment should be and hereby is denied.

Section 52-584 gives two years to bring a negligence action and tolls that period from a tortfeasor's death until an estate fiduciary is appointed and qualified.

Deangelis v. Winiarski, No. Cv 000502458 (May 7, 2001) · filed 2001-05-07

The court finds that in the present case, the death of the tortfeasor, CT Page 6490 Venturo, before the statute of limitations had expired tolled that statute from the date of his death until the appointment and qualification of Winiarski as the administrator of the estate.

Section 52-584 requires negligence claims for injury to person or property to be brought within two years of discovery and no more than three years after the act or omission.

Amoco Oil Co. v. Liberty Auto Elec., No. X06-Cv96-0160065s (May 9, 2001) · filed 2001-05-09

Amoco's negligence claim would clearly be barred by application of § 52-584. "The relevant date of the act or omission complained of, as that phrase is used in § 52-584, is the date when the negligent conduct of the defendant occurs and not the date when the plaintiff first sustains damage." (Internal quotation marks omitted).

Section 52-584 does not bar a timely apportionment complaint under § 52-102b.

Iazzetta v. Clock Tower Mill, No. Cv 99-0492011 (Jun. 8, 2001) · filed 2001-06-08

Given this same reasoning, the court sees no logical reason why § 52-584 should then operate tobar a timely filed apportionment complaint.

Section 52-584 imposes two-year and three-year limits on negligence injury claims, with the three-year period serving as a statute of repose that may be tolled by a continuing course of conduct.

Gazza v. Bandit Industries, Inc., No. X03 Cv 99 0499931 S (Aug. 31, 2001) · filed 2001-08-31

Based on the foregoing, the court holds that the action against Luc Tardif is barred by Connecticut General Statutes § 52-584 because the Amended Complaint was served more than three years after the sale of the woodchipper by Tardif and the statute of repose contained in § 52-584 was not tolled by the continuing course of conduct doctrine.

Section 52-584 permits the repose period for dental malpractice to run after a continuing course of treatment terminates.

Jennett v. Miller, No. Cv-00-0093299 (Oct. 29, 2001) · filed 2001-10-29

The plaintiff contends that because she has alleged a continuing course of care terminating less than three years before the filing of the request to amend, the proposed complaint does not implicate § 52-584. The court agrees. ... The proposed amended complaint was filed on April 3, 2001, within the applicable statute of repose of three years. See Blanchette v. Barrett, supra, 229 Conn. 280.2 Accordingly, because the request to amend the complaint was filed within the limitations period, whether the proposed amended complaint states a new cause of action is not material to the resolution of the objection.

Section 52-584 bars a negligence claim for personal injury when it is brought beyond the statute's time limits.

Pereira v. Maresca, No. Cv00-0378076-S (Nov. 15, 2001) · filed 2001-11-15

To the extent that the complaint alleges personal injury, such a claim is governed by General Statutes § 52-584.6 Under this statute, any claim of negligence against the bank is also barred as having been brought beyond the time limitations established by § 52-584.

Section 52-584 requires an action for injury to the person caused by negligence to be brought within two years after the injury is first sustained.

Kronberg v. Peacock · filed 2002-01-22

The plaintiff concedes, and we agree, that if this case is not saved by § 52-593, it is time barred by the statute of limitations, § 52-584. ... We therefore conclude that the trial court properly granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment.

Section 52-584 requires negligence claims to be brought within two years of injury and bars them more than three years after the act or omission.

Sandvig v. Dubreuil & Sons, Inc. · filed 2002-01-25

Section 52-584 is the statute of limitations applicable to the plaintiffs negligence claims. A negligence claim must be brought within two years of the injury, but cannot be brought after three years from the date of the act or omission. The plaintiff concedes that the defendant completed the work no later than November, 1989. The plaintiff was injured on September 26, 1991. The action was not brought until September 24, 1993, almost four years from the date of the alleged act or omission. The plaintiffs entire negligence action, including the amendments, is, therefore, time barred as a matter of law.

Section 52-584 tolls the limitations period when a tortfeasor dies until a fiduciary is appointed and qualifies.

Marcejonis v. Torres, No. Cv-99-0090735-S (Apr. 17, 2002) · filed 2002-04-17

Section 52-584 requires a negligence action for personal injury to be brought within two years, subject to a three-year exception.

Dejesus v. Smith, No. 063771 (Jun. 5, 2002) · filed 2002-06-05

General Statutes § 52-584 allows a plaintiff who has sustained personal injuries caused by another's negligence to bring her action "within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered. . . ." Because DeJesus' present motion is brought over three and half years after the date when DeJesus first sustained injuries, her motion is untimely under §52-584. Even if this court applied the three year time exception provided by § 52-584, DeJesus' present motion is still untimely, as the date of IMA's alleged negligence is August 2, 1998.

Section 52-584 requires personal injury actions to be filed within two years of the injury and no later than three years after the act or omission.

Chasse v. Walmart Stores, No. Cv 00-0434079 S (Aug. 1, 2002) · filed 2002-08-01

Rosato v. Mascardo, No. X06-Cv-92-0309852-S (Jul. 3, 2002) · filed 2002-07-03

The repose section is not at issue in Rosato's case. Rosato ... discovered her doctor's allegedly negligent conduct within two years following the act sued upon, but chose to file suit more than three years later. Thus, her claims asserted in the first count of the amended complaint are barred by General Statutes § 52-584. Mascardo's motion for summary judgment on the first count is granted.

Section 52-584 bars a negligence action brought more than two years after the injury is sustained or discovered.

Billerback v. Cerminara · filed 2002-09-17

Benson v. Redding, No. Cv02-0344668 S (Feb. 4, 2003) · filed 2003-02-04

As to the Bensons' causes of action for negligence and negligence per se, "General Statutes § 52-584 is the statute of limitations applicable in an action to recover damages for injury to the person or property caused by negligence . . . That statute imposes two specific time requirements on prospective plaintiffs. The first requires a plaintiff to bring an action within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered . . . The second provides that in no event shall a plaintiff bring an action more than three years from the date of the act ... or omission complained of . . . The statutory clock on this three year time limit begins running when the negligent conduct of the defendant occurs." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Johnson v. North Branford,64 Conn. App. 643, 648, 781 A.2d 346, cert. denied, 258 Conn. 926,783 A.2d 1028 (2001).3 It is undisputed that the town discovered contamination in November 1989. According to Hartline's affidavit the Bensons were notified of the leak immediately and contamination was found on their property on January 17, 1990. The Bensons did not commence this action until ten years after the contamination was brought to their attention and clearly outside of all three limitations periods. Moreover the Bensons' arose from a single act or omission, the leaking gasoline tank, and the facts do not suggest that the limitations period should be tolled by the continuing course of conduct doctrine. See Blanchette v. Barrett, 229 Conn. 256, 275,640 A.2d 74 (1994). Accordingly, the Bensons' claims for negligence and negligence per se are barred by the statute of limitations.

Section 52-584 requires a negligence action to be brought within two years of when the injury is sustained or discovered and no more than three years after the act or omission.

Aherne v. Lifeline Systems, Inc., No. Cv99 0269317-S (Mar. 21, 2003) · filed 2003-03-21

St. Raphael has submitted no proof as to when the act or omission complained of occurred, and therefore has failed to satisfy its burden on a motion for summary judgment. Because there is a genuine issue of material fact as to when the act or omission complained of occurred, the court must deny the motion for summary judgment.

Section 52-584 sets two-year limitation and three-year repose periods for medical malpractice actions, subject to tolling under recognized doctrines.

Neuhaus v. Decholnoky, No. Cv 96 0153565 (Feb. 3, 2003) · filed 2003-02-03

As the court finds that there are no genuine issues of material fact; ... that the plaintiffs have failed to provide any evidence that establishes that DeCholnoky concealed any cause of action from the plaintiffs, and that General Statutes § 52-584 is constitutional and bars the plaintiffs' claims, summary judgment in favor of DeCholnoky is granted.

Grogan v. Spivak, No. Cv 99 0368340 (Feb. 28, 2003) · filed 2003-02-28

Cartsounis v. Rosenstein, No. Cv 00 0176589 (Mar. 6, 2003) · filed 2003-03-06

To establish a right to summary judgment pursuant to § 52-584 in a medical malpractice action, it is the movant's burden to clearly show, through affidavit (s) or other documents, when the plaintiff's action accrued. Catz v. Rubenstein, 201 Conn. 39, 513 A.2d 98 (1986). ... As the moving parties in the present case, the defendants have the burden of producing evidence that shows that this action is untimely. ... The defendants have not met this burden. ... Evaluating these facts in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, this court finds that the defendants have not met the burden of showing that the plaintiff's action is untimely.

Section 52-584 requires a negligence action to be brought within two years after the injury is sustained or discovered or reasonably should have been discovered, subject to a three-year repose period.

Tarnowsky v. Socci · filed 2003-03-18

There is no relevant distinction, except for a difference in the stated limitation periods, between the discovery language contained in §§ 52-577a and § 52-284. We conclude therefore that, under both sections, a claimant is not time barred until he knows, or should have known, the identity of the negligent person who caused his injury to occur.

Section 52-584 generally requires actions for injury to a person or property caused by negligence to be brought within two years, subject to a three-year outside limit.

Lombard v. Edward J. Peters, Jr., P.C. · filed 2003-09-09

After our review, we are persuaded that the plain language of the two statutes reveals that the legislature intended that actions to recover for damages for injury to personal property caused by negligence come within the ambit of § 52-584.

Section 52-584 gives a plaintiff two years from discovering an injury to sue, while imposing an absolute three-year limit from the act or omission.

Rosato v. Mascardo · filed 2004-04-13

Accordingly, we find that as a matter of law, both tolling doctrines apply only to the repose portion of the statute and not to the discovery portion. The discovery portion addresses the plaintiffs knowledge of the injury and not the defendant’s act or omission. Once the plaintiff has discovered her injury, the statute begins to run.

The three-year repose period in § 52-584 is part of the statute of limitations for purposes of the ninety-day extension in § 52-190a(b).

Barrett v. Montesano · filed 2004-06-22

Therefore, in light of the legislature’s repeated apparent use of the ... *phrase “statute of limitations” as also encompassing a statute of repose, and considering our own practice of doing the same, we conclude that the ninety day extension provided by § 52-190a (b) applies equally to both sections of § 52-584.

Section 52-584 sets two-year discovery and three-year repose limits for negligence and physician malpractice claims, subject to tolling under the continuing course of conduct doctrine.

Rasco v. Azia, No. 555492 (Jun. 27, 2002) · filed 2002-06-27

General Statutes § 52-584 provides that "[n]o action . . . caused by negligence . . . or by malpractice of a physician . . . shall be brought but within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered. . . ."

Section 52-584 sets a two-year limit for covered tort actions but allows a counterclaim in such an action before the pleadings close.

Mulcahy v. Mossa · filed 2005-05-17

Section 52-584, which applies to actions sounding in tort, provides in relevant part: “No action . . . shall be brought but within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered . . . except that a counterclaim may be interposed in any such action any time before the pleadings in such action are finally closed.” The defendant’s counterclaim against the state sounds in tort; it alleges that the defendant suffered personal injuries through the negligence of Mulcahy, a state employee, while operating a motor vehicle. Section 52-556 expressly waives sovereign immunity in such cases. Section 31-293 (a) establishes an employer’s independent, although derivative, right of action against third party tortfeasors. An action by an employer pursuant to § 31-293 (a) is, therefore, an action sounding in tort because it provides for an independent action by the employer against third party tortfeasors. See Nichols v. Lighthouse Restaurant, Inc., supra, 246 Conn. 164. It follows, therefore, that the state’s action brought pursuant to § 31-293 (a) is governed by § 52-584. See id., 165. As an action sounding in tort, the state’s action falls squarely within actions contemplated by the exception for counterclaims provided for in § 52-584. Our review of §§ 31-293 (a), 52-556 and 52-584 compels us to conclude that the legislature has given no indication that the state is to be treated in a manner different from any other counterclaim defendant with respect to the exception for counterclaims in § 52-584, or that actions brought pursuant to § 31-293 (a) should be considered something other than actions sounding in tort. Section 52-584 expressly provides that a counterclaim may be filed at any time prior to the close of pleadings, irrespective of whether the statute of limitations governing the counterclaim has run. The defendant in this case filed his counterclaim before the close of pleadings. The court, therefore, improperly dismissed the defendant’s counterclaim against the state.

Section 52-584 requires negligence actions to be filed within two years of when the injury is sustained or discovered, subject to its three-year outer limit.

Lindsay v. Pierre · filed 2005-08-09

The undisputed facts before the court indicate that the plaintiff discovered that she suffered injuries as a result of the alleged negligence of the defendant on the date of the accident. ... Accordingly, the statute of limitations began to run when the plaintiff discovered her injuries on the date of the accident. ... We determine that the court’s legal conclusion that summary judgment was appropriate because the plaintiffs claim is barred by the statute of limitations in § 52-584 was legally and logically correct and was supported by the facts set forth in the memorandum of decision.

Section 52-584 requires negligence actions for personal injury to be brought within two years of when the injury is sustained or discovered, or should have been discovered with reasonable care.

Pinette v. McLaughlin · filed 2006-08-01

Section 52-584 requires a malpractice action within two years of discovering the injury and bars it after three years from the negligent act, subject to tolling doctrines.

Zielinski v. Kotsoris · filed 2006-08-08

In the present case, § 52-584, which is the statute of limitations applicable to health care malpractice, requires actions to be brought “within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered,” and also sets a repose period under which “no such action may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission complained of,” which, in this case, was April 10, 1996.

Section 52-584 requires covered medical malpractice actions within two years of injury discovery and bars them after three years from the negligent act, subject to continuous treatment tolling.

Grey v. Stamford Health System, Inc. · filed 2007-06-26

Section 52-584 requires such actions to be brought “within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered . . . .” The statute also establishes a repose period under which “no such action may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission complained of . . . .” ... Viewing this evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, we conclude that the continuous treatment doctrine does not apply to the defendants as a matter of law.

Section 52-584 generally bars a medical malpractice action more than three years after the negligent act or omission, subject to tolling in proper circumstances.

Martinelli v. Fusi · filed 2009-02-10

The plaintiff did not submit any other evidence to indicate that the defendant subjectively ever knew or had a concern that his initial diagnosis was incorrect, and in the absence of such evidence we are unwilling to contravene the legislature’s clear policy choice by imposing a continuing duty on the defendant and tolling the period of repose. Accordingly, we conclude that the trial court properly determined that the continuous course of conduct doctrine did not toll the period of repose in this case. ... Accordingly, because the plaintiff submitted no evidence to suggest the existence of a physician-patient relationship or ongoing course of treatment by the defendant after February 25, 2000, we conclude that the trial court properly determined that the continuing treatment doctrine did not toll the period of repose beyond that date.

Section 52-584 imposes a two-year limit from injury or discovery of harm and an absolute three-year limit from the negligent act or omission.

Geiger v. Carey · filed 2017-01-31

The defendant’s negligent infliction of emotional distress claim is governed by the statute of limitations found in General Statutes § 52-584 because it involves a personal injury caused by a party’s negligence. Rivera v. Double A Transportation, Inc., 248 Conn. 21, 31, 727 A.2d 204 (1999). Section 52-584 limits claims to those brought within two years of injury or the discovery of harm, but places an outer limit of three years from the date of the occurrence of the act or omission alleged.

Section 52-584 requires a medical malpractice action to be brought within two years of injury discovery and no more than three years after the act or omission.

Peters v. United Community & Family Services, Inc. · filed 2018-06-19

General Statutes § 52-584 provides that the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice action is ‘‘two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered, and except that no such action may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission complained of . . . .’’

Section 52-584 requires negligence claims to be filed within two years after the injury is sustained or discovered and no more than three years after the act or omission.

Czahur v. Koeller, No. Cv 01 0456412 S (Feb. 14, 2003) · filed 2003-02-14

Similarly, the time-frame for bringing actions in negligence is governed by "§ 52-584 . . . [which] restricts the initiation of any action `to recover damages for injury to the person, or to real or personal property, caused by negligence, or by reckless or wanton misconduct . . .' to a period within two years from the date that the injury is sustained or should have been discovered. The section further provides that no action `may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission complained of.'" Champagne v. Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., 212 Conn. 509, 523-24,562 A.2d 1100 (1989). ... In the present case, there is no question of fact that Czahur's negligence claim would be barred by the two-year statute of limitations.5 Granting summary judgment in this instance, however, would effectively eliminate Czahur's intentional tort claim, which is not subject to the two-year statute of limitations. Applying the reasoning of the abovementioned cases, this court cannot grant summary judgment to eliminate an entire count when part of that count remains viable.

Section 52-584's two-year limitations period begins when the plaintiff knows or reasonably should have known the tortfeasor's identity.

Tarnowsky v. Socci · filed 2004-09-28

We conclude that the two year statute of limitations set forth in § 52-584 does not begin to run until a plaintiff knows, or reasonably should have known, the identity of the tortfeasor.

Section 52-584 gives malpractice plaintiffs two years from discovering an injury and an outside three years from the negligent act to sue, subject here to a ninety-day extension.

Rockwell v. Quintner · filed 2006-06-27

To demonstrate his entitlement to summary judgment on timeliness grounds, the defendant, through his affidavit, needed to establish that there was no viable question of fact concerning the plaintiffs obligation to have brought her action within two years and ninety days of discovering the injuries allegedly caused by the defendant’s treatment or, in any event, no later than three years and ninety days from the negligent treatment itself. See General Statutes §§ 52-584, 52-190a (b); Barrett v. Montesano, 269 Conn. 787, 796, 849 A.2d 839 (2004) (holding automatic ninety day extension provided by § 52-190a [b] applicable to both two year discovery and three year repose provisions of § 52-584).

Section 52-584 permits its repose period to be tolled by a continuing course of conduct when the physician’s actual knowledge and ongoing failure to warn are factually disputed.

Bednarz v. Eye Physicians of Central Connecticut, P.C. · filed 2008-06-03

We agree with the plaintiff that, because she had presented evidence from which a jury reasonably could infer that the defendant had actual knowledge of the 1980 CAT scan and that the jury would not be required to credit the defendant’s testimony to the contrary, there existed a genuine issue of material fact with respect to whether the period of repose under § 52-584 was tolled by the defendant’s ongoing failure to warn the plaintiff. Accordingly, we conclude that it was improper for the trial court to have granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment as it related to the continuing course of conduct doctrine.

Section 52-584 requires a claim for injury to real property caused by negligence to be brought within two years after the injury is sustained or discovered.

Sinotte v. City of Waterbury · filed 2010-06-01

Section 52-584 requires that a claim for injury to real property resulting from negligence be brought “within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered . . . .”

The section requires a negligence action to be filed within two years after actionable harm is discovered and its discovery period is not tolled by continuing treatment.

Wojtkiewicz v. Middlesex Hospital · filed 2013-03-12

In Rosato v. Mascardo, supra, 82 Conn. App. 405, we expressly stated that the continuing treatment doctrine did not apply to the discovery portion of § 52-584. “Once the plaintiff has discovered her injury, the statute begins to run.” Id. Because the statute is not tolled, the plaintiff was required to commence her action by May 28, 2008, in order to comply with the statute of limitations.

Section 52-584 requires an action to be brought within two years after the injury is sustained or discovered, subject to its three-year repose period.

Parnoff v. Aquarian Water Co. of Connecticut (AC40383) · filed 2019-03-05

Section 52-584 provides in relevant part: ‘‘No action to recover damages for injury to the person . . . shall be brought but within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered, and except that no such action may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission complained of . . . .’’ ... On the basis of the medical evidence presented by the defendants, we conclude that the plaintiff discovered some form of actionable harm in September, 2011. Because he did not bring this action until July, 2014, it is clear that it was commenced well beyond the two year limitation period. Accordingly, we conclude that the trial court properly granted the defendants’ supplemental motion for summary judgment as to his negligent infliction of emotional distress claims in counts six through eight.

Section 52-584 imposes a limitation period on the remedy for medical negligence, but § 52-555(a) supplies the applicable period when that negligence underlies a wrongful death claim.

Harvey v. Dept. of Correction · filed 2020-10-09

Common law created the right of action for medical negligence, and statutes, such as General Statutes § 52-584, define the availability of the remedy by imposing a limitation period. When medical negligence provides the theory of liability for a wrongful death claim, the negligence statute of limitations is supplanted by § 52-555 (a), which provides the only applicable limitation period.

Section 52-584 governs negligence claims and requires suit within two years of discovery, subject to a three-year limit from the act or omission.

Doe v. Rackliffe · filed 2020-12-15

The negligence claims asserted by the plaintiffs are governed by the limitation period set forth in § 52-584.

Section 52-584 starts its two year limitation period when the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should discover actionable harm and its connection to the defendant’s negligence.

Peek v. Manchester Memorial Hospital · filed 2022-02-02

Our case law is thus quite clear that ‘‘injury,’’ as used in § 52-584, means actionable harm, i.e., when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered that the harm complained of was caused by the negligence of the defendant.

Section 52-584 is a procedural limitation that does not establish the remedy and whose limitation period may be waived.

Rodriguez v. Hartford · filed 2024-03-19

Here, the court applied the statutes of limitations set forth in §§ 52-577 and 52-584,4 neither of which establishes a remedy that does not otherwise exist. Therefore, those statutes are procedural, not jurisdictional, and the limitation periods set forth therein may be waived.
