- Small claims limit: $3,500 (source)
- Personal injury filing deadline: generally 3 years — Miss. Code Ann. § 15-1-49
Exceptions and details
Mississippi has no separately named small-claims court; small claims are heard in Justice Court (the Judiciary lists 82 Justice Courts statewide), whose civil jurisdiction is capped at $3,500 by Miss. Code § 9-11-9. The same cap applies to individuals and businesses. County Courts (where they exist) have concurrent jurisdiction; larger claims go to County or Circuit Court. Bills to raise the cap to $5,000 or $15,000 (2025: HB 83, HB 852, HB 1510, SB 2499; 2026: HB 876, SB 2696) all died, so $3,500 remains current as of Sept. 2026.
PI negligence falls under the 3-year catch-all in § 15-1-49(1); § 15-1-49(2) adds a discovery rule for latent injury or disease. Some claims have their own, different periods (e.g., intentional torts such as assault/battery, medical malpractice, and claims against governmental entities under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act). Source URL is the Legislature's 2025 SB 2318 text, which 'brings forward' § 15-1-49 verbatim (the official Code itself is published via LexisNexis); SB 2318 died in committee and no 2026 bill touched § 15-1-49.
