What is the deadline in Tennessee?

Tennessee has a 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury (TCA § 28-3-104). For minors, the statute is tolled until age 18. Tennessee's Consumer Protection Act (TCA § 47-18-101) provides a 1-year window for deceptive practice claims but allows treble damages. 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.
