What is the deadline in Tennessee?
Tennessee has a 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (TCA § 28-3-104). The discovery rule applies for latent disease — the SoL begins when you discovered or should have discovered the connection between talcum powder and cancer. Consult an attorney about the filing deadline. 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.
