September 3, 2009 -- The Minnesota Supreme Court decides Fleeger v. Wyeth.
In Fleeger, the Court was asked to consider a question certified from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas (the multi-district court for the consolidated Prempro pharmaceutical litigation):
"In a case commenced in Minnesota, does the Minnesota statute of limitations apply to the personal injury claims of a non-Minnesota resident against a defendant not a resident of Minnesota, where the events giving rise to the claims did not occur in Minnesota before and took place before August 1, 2004?"
The Court answered the question in the affirmative.
This is an important decision for injured consumers inasmuch as Minnesota has a six-year statute of limitations for most negligence-based claims, including failure to warn claims involving pharmaceuticals. The decision confirms the viability of many existing claims that had been previously filed in Minnesota. Moreover, it provides a small window of time for consumers to file claims that arose in late 2003 or early 2004, before the expiration of the six-year time limit on August 1, 2010.
