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.

Where would my case be heard?
New Jersey is a premier jurisdiction for gabapentin litigation because Pfizer's legacy Neurontin operations and multiple generic gabapentin manufacturers have significant corporate presence in the state. The District of New Jersey has managed some of the nation's largest pharmaceutical MDLs, including the Vioxx litigation, and is a strong candidate for gabapentin MDL assignment. New Jersey's Product Liability Act provides robust plaintiff protections, and the state's Middlesex County mass tort program efficiently manages coordinated pharmaceutical claims. The state's dense population of 9.3 million generates substantial gabapentin prescribing, with the highest rates in southern New Jersey communities impacted by the opioid crisis.
New Jersey gabapentin cases may be filed in the District of New Jersey (Newark, Trenton, or Camden) or in New Jersey Superior Court. The District of New Jersey has managed major pharmaceutical MDLs including Vioxx. Middlesex County's mass tort program efficiently coordinates pharmaceutical claims. New Jersey's Product Liability Act (N.J.S.A. § 2A:58C-1 et seq.) provides statutory framework for design defect and failure-to-warn claims. The state follows modified comparative fault and does not cap compensatory damages.
