What is the deadline in Nevada?

NRS § 11.190(4)(e) provides a 2-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. A lawyer can confirm yours.

2 years (NRS 11.190(4)(e))

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.

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.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Nevada applies a 2-year statute of limitations for product liability personal injury claims under NRS § 11.190(4)(e), with the discovery rule tolling the period until the plaintiff knew or reasonably should have known of the mesh injury and its cause. Nevada's growing population in Clark County makes Las Vegas a significant hub for hernia surgery, and Nevada claimants are active participants in MDL 2846.
