Warning

IMPORTANT MISSISSIPPI LEGAL INFORMATION — BIRTH INJURY

Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of the malpractice or from discovery (Miss. Code § 15-1-36). Hard 7-year statute of repose.

Young Children (Critical): If the injured child was 6 years old or younger at the time of the injury, the family generally has until the child's 8th birthday to bring the malpractice claim. This is a specific exception to the general 2-year rule. The exact deadline depends on the child's age and circumstances — contact TopDog immediately for an evaluation.

For Minors Over 6: Mississippi's general minority tolling provision (Miss. Code § 15-1-59) tolls the statute of limitations until the minor reaches the age of majority (21 in Mississippi) — but this general tolling rule does NOT apply to medical malpractice cases, which are governed by Miss. Code § 15-1-36 instead. Deadlines for older children in med mal cases are complex — call TopDog now.

Pre-Suit Notice Required (Critical): 60 days written notice of intent to sue must be given to each defendant healthcare provider before filing (Miss. Code § 15-1-36).

Expert Consultation: Required before filing — plaintiff's attorney must consult a qualified medical expert confirming a reasonable basis for the claim (Miss. Code § 11-1-58).

Damage Cap: Noneconomic damages capped at $500,000. Economic damages — lifetime care costs, lost future earning capacity — are uncapped.

This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.

Your Case May Be Worth More Than They're Telling You.

Insurance companies for hospitals may make early low offers and often use delay and denial tactics to make families feel like they have no case. Lifetime care costs are economic damages and fully uncapped. TopDog fights for the maximum recovery available for your child.
