Filing Deadline in Virginia
Virginia has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. Virginia generally uses an occurrence (not discovery) rule, meaning the clock typically starts when the injury occurs. This makes early consultation especially 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.
