Statute of Limitations
NMSA 1978 § 37-1-8 provides a 3-year limitations period for personal injury actions. New Mexico courts apply the discovery rule, tolling accrual until the plaintiff discovers or should discover the mesh-related injury and causation. No statute of repose applies to New Mexico product liability claims. Cases typically originate in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico (Albuquerque) before transfer to MDL 2846 in S.D. Ohio.
