Filing Deadline in Missouri
Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. Unlike many states, Missouri uses an occurrence rule (clock starts at time of injury, not discovery). Consulting an attorney promptly is important.
⚠️ 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.
