Statute of Limitations

Miss. Code Ann. § 15-1-49 provides a 3-year limitations period for product liability personal injury claims. The discovery rule applies — in hernia mesh cases, this means the clock starts when the claimant knew or reasonably should have known that their complications were caused by the implanted mesh device. Mississippi courts have historically been sympathetic to plaintiff personal injury claims. No statute of repose applies. Mississippi cases typically transfer to MDL 2846 or MDL 2511 in S.D. Ohio.
