Filing Deadline in West Virginia
West Virginia has a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability claims. West Virginia has been significantly affected by the opioid epidemic, with a high rate of buprenorphine prescriptions. The discovery rule may toll the period.
⚠️ 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.
