Opinion
KATZ, J.
This case requires us to determine when the statute of limitations under General Statutes § 52-576 (a)1 begins to run on a claim for uninsured motorist benefits. We conclude that the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the plaintiff knew or should have known that the tortfeasor was uninsured. Accord*603ingly, we affirm the judgment of the Appellate Court, which had affirmed the trial court’s order compelling the parties to proceed with arbitration of the plaintiffs claim for uninsured benefits.
