Bard PowerPort Catheter Lawsuit in New Jersey

Statute of Limitations

New Jersey has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury and products liability claims (N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2). New Jersey's discovery rule tolls the SOL until the plaintiff knew or should have known of the claim. New Jersey also applies the Tort Claims Act for government defendants. Notably, Becton Dickinson is headquartered in Franklin Lakes, NJ — making the District of New Jersey a natural jurisdiction for corporate witness depositions. New Jersey applies modified comparative fault (51% bar).
