Filing Deadline in South Carolina
South Carolina has a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. The discovery rule tolls the period for latent pharmaceutical 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.
