Statute of Limitations
Florida: 4 years for product liability (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(3)(e)). Discovery rule applies — the limitations period begins when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the injury and its connection to gabapentin. Florida's 4-year SOL is among the most generous in the country.

Where to File in Florida
Florida gabapentin cases may be filed in three federal districts: Southern (Miami, Fort Lauderdale), Middle (Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville), or Northern (Tallahassee, Pensacola). Miami-Dade and Broward county courts are historically plaintiff-favorable for pharmaceutical litigation. Florida's 4-year SOL provides extended filing time. The state does not cap non-economic damages in product liability cases following the 2017 repeal of tort reform caps. Florida follows pure comparative fault.
