Statute of Limitations

Maine has a 6-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (14 M.R.S. § 752), which is unusually long. However, product liability claims may be subject to the 6-year period. For minor victims, 14 M.R.S. § 853 tolls the SOL during minority. Maine has no product liability statute of repose.
