NORTH DAKOTA STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
Statutes
of Limitation restrict the time period
that a person can file a lawsuit. These statutes
not only vary by state, but they also vary
by cause of action. The following guide provides
limitations periods for each state, but only
for particular causes of action; those related
to Personal Injury, Medical
Malpractice, and Products
liability claims. The sections
discussing special rules for minors only apply
to the causes of action listed for that particular
state. Personal Injury Actions
These actions must be brought within two years
of the date that the injury occurred.
Medical Malpractice Actions
Actions against health-care providers must be filed
within two years of the date that the act giving
rise to the injury occurred or within two years
of the date when the injury was, or should have
been, discovered. In no event can a medical malpractice
action be brought more than six years after the
act giving rise to the injury occurred.
Products Liability Actions
Products liability actions must be brought within
10 years after the initial purchase of the product
or within 11 years of the date of its manufacture.
This limitations period applies to minors.
Special Rules for Minors
Except in the case of a products liability action,
the statute of limitations begins to run when
on the minor’s 18th birthday.
