Where to File in Missouri
Missouri gabapentin cases may be filed in the Eastern District (St. Louis) or Western District (Kansas City). St. Louis City Circuit Court is one of the most plaintiff-favorable venues in the nation for pharmaceutical litigation and has managed numerous mass tort proceedings. Missouri follows pure comparative fault. The state does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases (medical malpractice caps do not apply). Missouri's 5-year SOL provides extended filing time for gabapentin claims.
