How long do I have to file my case for Victoza  Implant Injuries?

Depending on the state or jurisdiction in which you reside the time limitations can be different. You will generally have 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit in the state of California. Product liability lawsuits must also be filed within 2 years from the date of injury. Below are a is an examples of how the statute of limitations works. First Example: A type 2 diabetes patient is prescribed Victoza in 2006. In 2011 she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In this instance the statute of limitations for filing a defective pharmaceutical litigation against the manufacturers of Victoza runs at the time of the discovery of the injury (ie the initial diagnosis for pancreatic cancer) not the date of her fist use of the defective drug.
