Where to File in Mississippi
Mississippi Code Ann. § 11-7-13 governs wrongful death claims and provides a 3-year statute of limitations. Mississippi imposes no cap on wrongful death damages. Mississippi's petrochemical industry along the Gulf Coast and major highway corridors (I-20, I-55, I-59) generate significant wrongful death case volume from industrial accidents and vehicle fatalities. Hinds County Circuit Court (Jackson) handles the highest volume of Mississippi wrongful death filings.
