What is the deadline in Idaho?

Idaho Code § 5-219(4) provides a 2-year limitations period for product liability personal injury claims. The discovery rule applies — the clock does not start until the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the mesh-related injury and causation. Idaho has no product liability statute of repose. 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?

Idaho imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability personal injury claims under Idaho Code § 5-219(4). Idaho courts apply the discovery rule, tolling the period until the plaintiff knew or reasonably should have known of the injury and its causal connection to the mesh device. Most Idaho hernia mesh cases transfer into MDL 2846 in S.D. Ohio.
