What is the personal injury statute of limitations in Mississippi? Mississippi Code § 15-1-49 establishes the statute of limitations for personal injury cases at three years from the date of injury or the date when the injury was or should have reasonably been discovered.

If you are an employer and have an employee who claims to have been injured, a statute of limitations applies to how long a worker has to file a workers' compensation claim. Under the Mississippi Workers' Compensation Act, following a work related injury, a claimant has two years to file a claim for benefits.

The insurance company or the employer pays the cash disability benefits to the employee. These benefits continue depending upon the extent of the injury and loss of wages but cannot exceed 450 weeks. Cash benefits can equal as much as two thirds of an employee's average weekly pay.

Instead, they must see the doctor designated by their employer's insurer or a physician within that insurer's network. In Mississippi, however, that is not the case. You have the right to choose the doctor from whom you will receive care. Think of this provider as your designated doctor for the claim.

HOW LONG WILL WAGE LOSS PAYMENTS CONTINUE? For a worker permanently and totally disabled, payments will be made for a maximum period of 450 weeks. For injuries which result in less than permanent and total disability, the time limit for payments varies ing to the nature of the injury and disability.
