Liability Considerations in Portland
Hernia Mesh Litigation in Portland
Portland hernia mesh cases filed in the D. Oregon transfer to MDL 2846 in Columbus, Ohio. Oregon's 2-year discovery rule under ORS § 30.905 tolls the limitations period until the claimant knew or should have known of the mesh-related injury and causation. CRITICAL: Oregon also applies an 8-year statute of ultimate repose from the date of first product purchase — claimants whose mesh was implanted more than 8 years ago must consult an attorney immediately about tolling arguments based on fraudulent concealment or discovery of latent injury.
