── In the Matter of the Certified Question: Bradley A. Estabrook v. Yamazaki Mazak Corporation, et al. ── Case No.: 19S-CQ-00590 Court: Indiana Supreme Court Date: March 02, 2020 Author: Justice Geoffrey Slaughter Category: Other Decision: Certified Question Disposed with Opinion The Indiana Products Liability Act contains what we have held is a tenyear statute of repose. The statute requires a plaintiff to bring suit “within ten (10) years after the delivery of the product to the initial user or consumer.” The only exception is for an action accruing at least eight years but fewer than ten years after the product’s initial delivery. When that happens, a plaintiff can still sue within two years after accrual, even if more than ten years have elapsed since delivery.
