What is the deadline in West Virginia?

West Virginia has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from the date of discovery. A lawyer can confirm yours.

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?

West Virginia personal injury claims are governed by W. Va. Code § 55-2-12, providing a 2-year limitations period from discovery. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.) and earlier C8-era claims were in S.D.W.Va. DuPont's Washington Works in Parkersburg (Wood County) is the origin of the entire PFAS personal injury litigation ecosystem.
