Where to File in Tennessee
Tennessee personal injury claims are governed by Tenn. Code § 28-3-104, providing a 1-year limitations period — one of the most restrictive in the nation. Tennessee PFAS claimants must consult an attorney immediately. Federal MDL 2873 (D.S.C.) is the primary venue for Tennessee PFAS claims. Arnold AFB in Coffee County (Air Force test facility with extensive rocket and jet testing using AFFF) and NAS Memphis in Millington (now Millington Naval Support Activity) are the primary military sites. The Tennessee River downstream from 3M's Decatur, Alabama manufacturing has documented PFAS affecting Middle Tennessee water users.
