Statute of Limitations
Massachusetts M.G.L. c. 260 § 2A provides a 3-year limitations period for tort claims. Massachusetts applies the discovery rule. The Massachusetts statute of repose for tort actions is also 3 years from discovery under M.G.L. c. 260 § 2A — the SOL and repose effectively coincide. Massachusetts courts apply the discovery rule to medical device claims, but the 3-year window is firm once discovery is established.
