Modifies the statute of limitations for personal injury claims from 5 years to 2 years

HB 2182 would shorten the time limit for filing personal injury lawsuits from five years to two years, applying only to claims accruing on or after August 28, 2026. This directly affects individuals who suffer injuries (such as from car accidents, medical errors, or slips and falls) and the defendants they sue, requiring them to file within two years instead of five. The bill modifies the statute of limitations for non-contract claims involving injury to a person or rights, including common personal injury cases. It does not affect existing claims or those arising before the effective date.
