Statute of Limitations
NRS § 11.190(3) provides a 3-year limitations period for product liability personal injury actions in Nevada. The discovery rule applies — for hernia mesh claimants, the period runs from when the plaintiff knew or should have known their complications were mesh-related. No statute of repose applies to Nevada product liability claims. Nevada's concentrated population in Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno) means most mesh cases originate in those districts before transfer to MDL 2846 in S.D. Ohio.
