Over 1,000 NuvaRing injury lawsuits have been filed against Merck & Company and its subsidiary Organon Pharmaceuticals – and many more are expected to be filed in the near future. If you’ve suffered a NuvaRing injury such as a blood clot, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), heart attack or stroke, it’s important speak with an attorney and find out how long you have to file a claim.

NuvaRing Statute Of Limitations

Every state has its own statute of limitations – the time in which you must file a lawsuit or be barred from doing so – that applies to product liability lawsuits. Most vary from one to six years. A statute of limitations generally starts “ticking” once you’ve been injured. However, in many cases, it does not begin until a person discovers, or should have discovered, that a dangerous or defective product was the proximate cause of injury. This “discovery period” may toll the statute of limitations for many years afterward.

Never Assume It’s Too Late

Never assume it’s too late to file a NuvaRing injury lawsuit. Every situation is different, and the statute of limitations may vary based on the individual facts and circumstances of your injury, the latency period between when you last used the device and your injury, where you live, where a lawsuit will be filed and more.
