CT SB01330

Amends Connecticut's "accidental failure of suit" statute (Section 52-592) to allow plaintiffs whose cases failed for procedural reasons to refile within one year of the original action's determination or judgment reversal, effective October 1, 2025.

Establishes that receipt of summons and complaint by a defendant's purported insurer alleged to be obligated to defend constitutes sufficient commencement of an action for purposes of the savings statute.

Reduces the refiling period to six months when an action brought against an executor or administrator fails for qualifying procedural reasons.

Excludes time spent on appeal to the Supreme Court or Appellate Court when calculating the deadline to refile a new action.

Clarifies that the insurer-receipt provision does not designate insurers as agents for service of process, does not affect formal service requirements, and has no bearing on whether duty to defend or indemnity coverage is owed.
