The statute of limitations is the time limit during which you can file a claim against the company. A product liability lawsuit is a form of personal injury claims, so it must be filed within 2 years of the date of the injury.

Some circumstances can lead to an extension to the statute of limitations. This can happen if the victim is a minor (statute begins at 18 years old), has been left incapacitated from the incident (statute begins when returning to normalcy), or when the defendant has left or vacated the state (statute begins when he returns).
