1 Lawyer Answer

A: An Ohio attorney might be in the best position to answer, but your question remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. The best way to answer your question could be to reach out to law firms that have experience with cases involving Humira (adalimumab). A local attorney should advise on state procedural law such as statutes of limitations, but based on information readily available to anyone online, it looks like the Ohio med mal statute of limitations is one year. Again, check with a local attorney on that - each jurisdiction MIGHT have its own unique med mal doctrines or nuances with SOLs. With product liability causes of action involving a particular drug, reach out to Ohio or multidistrict litigation firms handling such cases - they should be able to advise meaningfully on drug-related, product liability-based statutes of limitations. Good luck
