What is the deadline in Tennessee?
Tennessee has a 1-year statute of limitations for product liability claims under T.C.A. § 28-3-104. The discovery rule is critical for paraquat-Parkinson's claims where the connection is discovered years after exposure. 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.

Where would my case be heard?
Tennessee's cotton, soybean, corn, and tobacco operations have used paraquat across the state, with the heaviest use in the West Tennessee cotton and grain region. Farmworkers in the Memphis metro agricultural corridor and Middle Tennessee face significant paraquat exposure. Tennessee has a 1-year statute of limitations — the shortest in the nation.
