What is the deadline in Mississippi?

Mississippi Code § 15-1-49 sets a general 3-year limitations period applicable to product liability. Mississippi's discovery rule runs from when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the injury caused by the PowerPort catheter fracture. A lawyer can confirm yours.

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.
