Filing Deadline in New York
New York has a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule may toll the period for latent injuries, and New York's 'inherently unknowable' doctrine may apply to pharmaceutical dental injuries.
⚠️ 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.
