Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of Western World’s subrogation complaint as barred by the three-year statute of limitations. It held that the fire constituted a known, nonlatent injury when it began on July 12, 2018, so the limitations period expired on July 12, 2021, one day before the complaint was filed. The court also held that uncertainty about the fire’s precise cause did not delay accrual because the injury, and facts indicating potentially negligent conduct, were known. No separate opinion is included in the record.
