What is the deadline in Kansas?

Kansas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury (KSA § 60-513). The discovery rule applies — the SoL starts when you discover or should have discovered the causal link between talcum powder and cancer. Kansas also has a 10-year product liability statute of repose. A lawyer can confirm yours.
