01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Kansas?

K.S.A. § 60-513(a)(4) sets a 2-year limitations period for personal injury claims. The discovery rule under § 60-513(b) delays accrual until the injury is reasonably ascertainable, which in hernia mesh cases runs from when complications manifested and were linked to the mesh device. Kansas maintains a 10-year statute of repose running from the product's sale — claimants implanted more than 10 years ago should seek legal counsel. 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.

Where would my case be heard?

Kansas imposes a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury product liability claims under K.S.A. § 60-513(a)(4), with the discovery rule codified in § 60-513(b) to toll the period until the injury is reasonably ascertainable.
