What is the deadline in Wyoming?

Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C) provides a 4-year limitations period for personal injury product liability claims — among the longer windows in the region. 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 Wyoming product liability claims. A lawyer can confirm yours.

4 years from discovery of mesh-related injury and causation

Wyoming's rural character means travel costs for specialist revision surgery are significant compensable damages. Cases 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?

Wyoming applies a 4-year statute of limitations for personal injury product liability claims under Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C) — one of the longer windows in the Mountain West. The discovery rule applies, and Wyoming's extended limitations period benefits hernia mesh claimants with delayed-onset complications. Wyoming's sparse population means most complex hernia revision procedures are performed in Cheyenne or Casper, with out-of-state referrals to Denver or Salt Lake City.
