Statute of Limitations
12 V.S.A. § 512 provides a 3-year limitations period for personal injury actions in Vermont. The discovery rule applies, tolling accrual until the plaintiff discovers or should discover the mesh-related injury and causation. No statute of repose applies to Vermont product liability claims. Vermont claimants benefit from access to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (nearby in Lebanon, NH) and Massachusetts General Hospital for advanced hernia revision care.
