01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in New Jersey?
New Jersey Statutes 2A:14-2 provide a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury product liability claims with the discovery rule applying for latent injuries. New Jersey has no statute of repose for product liability — a significant advantage for patients with older implants. New Jersey's Bergen County Superior Court is the coordinating court for MCL 616 (Ethicon hernia mesh state cases). 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.
