Statute of Limitations
California: 2 years for personal injury (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1). Discovery rule applies — the limitations period begins when the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should have discovered the injury and its connection to gabapentin.

Where to File in California
California gabapentin cases may be filed in any of four federal districts: Central (Los Angeles), Northern (San Francisco), Eastern (Sacramento), or Southern (San Diego). The Central District has the heaviest pharmaceutical litigation docket nationally. State court coordination through California's JCCP (Judicial Council Coordination Proceedings) process can consolidate cases before a single judge. California does not cap non-economic damages in product liability and follows pure comparative fault. Proposition 65 chemical disclosure requirements may provide additional regulatory context.
