01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in California?
California has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, extended to 3 years for discovery of harm. Minors have 2 years from reaching age 18 to file. The discovery rule is particularly favorable for addiction claims where parents may not immediately connect harm to gaming. A lawyer can confirm yours.
3 years from discovery of harm; 2 years from age 18 for minor claimants
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
California is ground zero for video game addiction litigation — home to both the major game publishers and the largest school district plaintiff group. California's 3-year discovery SOL and strong consumer protection laws create favorable conditions for claimants.
