Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Connecticut

Legal Malpractice

Generally speaking the statute of limitations for any cause of action begins to run when the plaintiff knows or should have known of the injury he or she suffered. In your case this means that the statute of limitations in any legal malpractice claim against your former lawyer began to run when you either found out that your case was dismissed or, through reasonable investigation, should have known your case was dismissed.

You should discuss this matter with an attorney in the state where the wrongful death suit was pending to determine if any legal malpractice action you may be considering is still within the statute of limitations.

Discovery rule or Statute of Limitations for Malp

Attorney Dressen gave you the proper standard which the courts use to determine whether you are too late or whether you have time to bring a legal malpractice case.In Massachusetts, there is a "discovery rule." Does CT or AZ have a discovery rule. An atty in AZ or CT could answer that question with one phone call.Q: What is this "grievance committee"? Do you mean proceedings by the state (AZ or CT) Bar Counsel? Am curious: were you a member of a legal insurance plan at your company? Did you then bring a grievance of sorts for the atty's negligence? This just sounds weird. Try to get your terms straight before you call the atty. It will make the conversation you have with him or her more productive and efficient and quicker.Good luck!
