NuvaRing Lawsuit Washington DC | NuvaRing Lawyer Attorney
There is a limited period of time in which to bring a Washington DC NuvaRing lawsuit. This time period is referred to as a “statute of limitations”. If Nuvaring lawsuits are not filed before the statutory deadline you may lose the right to bring a claim for compensation.
A statute of limitations is a law that limits the amount of time a person has to file a lawsuit. There are several factors that affect the statutory deadline for filing your Nuvaring lawsuit. Some of these factors include:
• The state where the injury occurred
• The type of injury
• The state where the lawsuit is filed
• The age of the person bringing the lawsuit
• Whether the claim is a wrongful death lawsuit
District of Columbia Statute of Limitations
D.C. Code § 12-301 et seq.
Personal Injury
10 Years
Products Liability
3 Years
Wrongful Death
1 Year
Discovery Rule
In certain situations it isn’t reasonably possible for a person who has suffered an injury to know the cause of their injury until some time has passed. For example, a woman who developed a pulmonary embolism (PE) or blood clot after using NuvaRing, but did not know that Nuva Ring may have caused their PE.
The discovery rule does not apply in every state and every situation. Sometimes a statute of limitations will have expired and you may be legally barred from bringing a claim. It is important to contact a Nuvaring attorney as soon as possible if you think you may have a potential NuvaRing lawsuit claim.
The above state statute of limitations (time to bring a legal case) have been provided as a general reference only. Statutes of limitations can change at any time by the actions of the legislature or courts of the particular state. For a full review of any potential legal claims and relevant statutes of limitation related to Nuvaring side effects it is important to consult with an attorney to determine how the law applies to your specific legal claims.

Women who have been affected are coming forward and looking at their legal options including filing a Nuvaring lawsuit. Many women are left with unpaid medical bills, lost wages and are now more susceptible to developing another blood clot in the future. find out more
