01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Oklahoma?

12 O.S. § 95(A)(3) provides a 2-year limitations period for personal injury claims in Oklahoma. The discovery rule applies — in hernia mesh cases, the clock starts when the plaintiff discovered or should have discovered the mesh-related injury and causation. No statute of repose applies to Oklahoma product liability claims. 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.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Oklahoma applies a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury product liability claims under 12 O.S. § 95(A)(3), with the discovery rule tolling the period until the plaintiff knew or should have known of the mesh injury and its cause. Oklahoma's plaintiff bar has significant mass tort experience and the state has historically been plaintiff-favorable in medical device litigation.
