What are the Tennessee and Mississippi Statute of Limitations?
People are always asking me how long they have to pursue legal action in a personal injury case before the statute expires, while other people don’t really know what it means when their insurance company tells them the statute of limitation has expired. Luckily, the answer is clear and simple: for a personal injury case, you have the following amounts of time to pursue legal action in your case:
Tennessee: 1 year
Mississippi: 2 years
Keep these time limits clearly in mind, especially if you are dealing with an insurance company – often, those companies will do all they can to extend your process of recouping money until after your statute of limitations expires, meaning that you are no longer able to pursue any legal action in your case. If you feel like you are being strung along by insurance or another company, I strongly encourage you to seek legal advice.
