What is the deadline in Utah?

Utah Code Ann. § 78B-2-307 provides a 2-year limitations period for personal injury product liability claims in Utah. The discovery rule applies, tolling accrual until the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should discover the mesh-related injury and causation. No statute of repose applies to Utah 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.
