Mississippi Statute of Limitations Ms Legal Accident

Mississippi has a “statutes of limitations” that set a certain time line for the right of someone to bring a lawsuit. These statutes do not apply to car insurance claims since they require you to make a claim within a reasonable time of the accident, which is typically within a matter of days or even a few weeks. You can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the person who caused the accident within three years. That time starts at the time of the victim’s death, not the time of the accident. Mississippi abides by the theory of “pure comparative fault”, meaning that more than one person can be held responsible for harm that was caused by the accident and that victims are not barred from compensation for recovery if they contribute to an accident. However, the person who is at fault for the accident is liable for all loses and damages.
