How long do I have to file a social media addiction lawsuit?

Filing deadlines (statutes of limitations) vary by state and generally begin running from the date the harm was discovered or diagnosed, not necessarily when the platform use began. For claims involving a minor, many states pause, or “toll,” the deadline until the child reaches the age of majority, though the specific rules differ significantly by jurisdiction. Because missing a deadline can permanently bar your right to compensation, it’s important to speak with an attorney promptly and preserve therapy records, screen-time data, and school or medical documentation as soon as possible.
