Hernia Mesh (Davol/C.R. Bard) Lawsuit in Wisconsin

Statute of Limitations

Wisconsin Statutes § 893.54 provides a 3-year limitations period for personal injury product liability. The discovery rule applies. Wisconsin's statute of repose (Wis. Stat. § 895.047) bars claims more than 15 years after the date of first sale of the product — a relatively generous repose period. Wisconsin follows modified comparative fault with a 51% bar.

3 years from discovery; 15-year statute of repose
