Where to File in Mississippi
Mississippi has a 3-year personal injury statute under Miss. Code Ann. § 15-1-49, applying from the date of discovery. Mississippi plaintiffs file in MDL 2921 in the District of New Jersey. Jackson and Gulfport-Biloxi cosmetic surgery markets placed Allergan BIOCELL products during the 2005–2019 period. Mississippi's 3-year window provides protection for BIA-ALCL diagnoses from 2023 onward. Claimants in Mississippi with earlier diagnoses or explant-only claims should consult an attorney promptly to assess tolling and discovery rule arguments.
