Exceptions and details
Limit is $15,000 for claims arising from home improvement contracts (by a registered contractor) or new home construction contracts (C.G.S. § 51-15(d)). A tenant suing to recover a wrongfully withheld security deposit may be awarded twice the deposit even if the total exceeds $5,000. Libel and slander actions cannot be brought in small claims.
Two years runs from the date the injury is first sustained or discovered (or reasonably should have been discovered), but no action may be brought more than three years from the date of the act or omission (statute of repose). Wrongful death actions are governed separately by § 52-555.
Connecticut has no mandatory state bar. The voluntary statewide Connecticut Bar Association does not operate its own LRS; its public help page lists the county bar LRSs (Hartford County, New Haven County, New London County). CBA also offers 'Find a Lawyer CT', a member directory, not a referral service.
