Filing Deadline in Kentucky
Kentucky has a 1-year statute of limitations for product liability claims — one of the shortest in the nation. However, the discovery rule may toll the period for latent injuries. Given Kentucky's high rate of buprenorphine prescriptions (it borders the opioid epidemic epicenter), urgent consultation is advised.
⚠️ Important: Many patients who used Suboxone attributed their dental problems to past substance use, not the medication. Under the discovery rule, your deadline may start from when you discovered (or should have discovered) the connection to Suboxone. The FDA's June 2022 warning is a key reference point. Consult an attorney to determine your specific deadline.
