Tennessee Statute of Limitations | Kugel Mesh Patch Lawyer Tennessee
There is limited time in which you must file a Kugel mesh patch lawsuit. Tennessee has important statute of limitations deadlines in which you have to start your case if you were affected by the hernia patch recall. If your case is not filed before the statutory deadline you may lose your right to bring a claim.
A statute of limitations is a law that restricts the amount of time a person has to file a lawsuit. There are several factors that can affect the deadline including but not limited to:
• When the Kugel mesh ring failure occurred
• The state where the hernia repair surgery was performed
• The state where the lawsuit is filed
• The age of the person bringing the lawsuit
• Whether the claim is a wrongful death claim
Tennessee Statute of Limitations
Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-101 et seq.
Personal Injury
1 Year with discovery rule
Products Liability
1 Year with discovery rule
Wrongful Death
1 Year with discovery rule
Discovery Rule
In certain situations it isn’t possible for a person who has suffered an injury to know the cause of their injury until some time has passed. For example, a hernia repair patient who had a recalled Kugel mesh patch, but did not know that a defective hernia mesh patch was implanted until years later or even that a hernia repair mesh failure may have caused their complications.
The discovery rule does not apply in all states and every situation. Sometimes a statute of limitations will have expired and it may be too late to bring a claim. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible if you think you may have a potential Kugel mesh patch lawsuit claim.
