01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Mississippi?
Mississippi has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims from the date of injury or discovery. 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.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Mississippi has documented PFAS contamination at Columbus AFB, Keesler AFB in Biloxi, and Camp Shelby near Hattiesburg. Military communities along the Gulf Coast and in the Columbus/Starkville corridor have potential PFAS exposure from AFFF firefighting operations. Mississippi's 3-year statute is relatively favorable for PFAS claimants.
Mississippi personal injury claims are governed by Miss. Code § 15-1-49, providing a 3-year limitations period from discovery. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Columbus AFB in Lowndes County (pilot training base), Keesler AFB in Biloxi (the Air Force's primary training center for weather and IT), and Camp Shelby near Hattiesburg (National Guard training center) are the primary military PFAS sources. Gulf Coast communities near Biloxi and the Columbus/Starkville corridor are priority populations.
