Car Accident Lawsuit in Mississippi

Statute of Limitations

Mississippi imposes a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (Miss. Code § 15-1-49). The state follows an at-fault insurance system with pure comparative negligence — a plaintiff can recover even if 99% at fault, with recovery reduced by the plaintiff's fault percentage. Minimum liability coverage is 25/50/25. Mississippi places no caps on compensatory or punitive damages in personal injury cases, making it a favorable jurisdiction for accident victims with strong cases.
