Section 12-110. Periods of limitation


Latest version.
  • 1. Notwithstanding any provision of
      law to the contrary, a claim under this article may not be brought  more
      than  two  years  after  the  cause of action accrues. A cause of action
      accrues under this article when a person who may recover has  reason  to
      know  of  the harm from illegal drug use that is the basis for the cause
      of action and has reason to know that the illegal drug use is the  cause
      of such harm.
        2.  Notwithstanding  any  other provision of law to the contrary for a
      plaintiff, the statute of limitations under this section shall be tolled
      when an individual potential plaintiff is incapacitated by the use of an
      illegal drug to the extent that such  individual  cannot  reasonably  be
      expected  to  seek  recovery under this article or as otherwise provided
      for by law. For a defendant,  the  statute  of  limitations  under  this
      section  shall be tolled until six months after the individual potential
      defendant is convicted of a crime  involving  participation  in  a  drug
      market.
