Statute of Limitations

Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for products liability claims (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120) — notably more generous than most states' 2-3 year standards. The discovery rule applies. Missouri has a 10-year statute of repose for product liability. Missouri uses modified comparative fault with a 51% bar. The Eastern District of Missouri (St. Louis) and Western District (Kansas City) are the primary federal venues.
