Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

Where would my case be heard?
Mississippi has PFAS contamination at Columbus Air Force Base, Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, and the Naval Construction Battalion Center in Gulfport. The Gulf Coast military installations have used AFFF extensively for hurricane-related fire suppression and routine training. Mississippi's 3-year statute of limitations is relatively favorable.
