Time’s ticking if you’ve got a product that hurt you in Utah. Here’s the deal – you get two years to file your lawsuit after you figure out (or should have figured out) that something’s wrong and what caused it. That’s straight from Utah Code § 78B-6-706.
Whereas the aforementioned temporal constraint shall apply solely to claims of strict product liability, it is acknowledged that alternative causes of action may be subject to divergent limitation periods. Cases predicated upon negligence theory typically afford the aggrieved party a four-year window to commence legal proceedings.
Look, this stuff gets messy fast. The clock might start ticking at different times, depending on your situation. Your best bet? Talk to a lawyer who knows their way around Utah product cases. They’ll ensure you don’t miss deadlines and keep your rights intact.
