Negligence and strict liability in tort actions
Sec. 1. (a) This section applies to all persons regardless of
minority or legal disability. Notwithstanding IC 34-11-6-1, this
section applies in any product liability action in which the theory of
liability is negligence or strict liability in tort.
(b) Except as provided in section 2 of this chapter, a product
liability action must be commenced:
(1) within two (2) years after the cause of action accrues; or
(2) within ten (10) years after the delivery of the product to the
initial user or consumer.
However, if the cause of action accrues at least eight (8) years but
less than ten (10) years after that initial delivery, the action may be
commenced at any time within two (2) years after the cause of action
accrues.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.15.
