Statute of Limitations

Tennessee's personal injury SOL is 1 year (T.C.A. § 28-3-104) — among the shortest nationally. Health care liability claims follow the same 1-year period under T.C.A. § 29-26-116. Pre-suit notice of at least 60 days is required (T.C.A. § 29-26-121), effectively further compressing available time. Contact an attorney immediately after discovering nursing home abuse in Tennessee.

1 year from date of injury (60-day pre-suit notice required — act immediately)
