Personal Injury

Personal injury litigation covers a range of possible legal actions, from simple slip-and-fall accidents, to complex cases concerning accusations of medical malpractice. It also includes car accidents, work-related injuries, or injuries sustained because of the alleged recklessness or negligence of individuals or businesses.

When you sue for personal injury or wrongful death, your lawsuit may be filed in state or federal court, depending on the specific facts of a case. Our attorneys are admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in Mississippi. However, many cases can be settled to the satisfaction of both parties before trial, and our attorneys have extensive experience in negotiating successful resolution of personal injury claims without the need for expensive and time-consuming litigation. Our success in early resolution of claims helps to prevent further damage from delay, and much of the credit belongs to our knowledge of the law and our ability to quickly obtain necessary information, documents, and experts.

Recovering damages will depend in part on the terms of your insurance policy. It's important first to understand what you are covered for and what your actual costs are likely to be given the scope and nature of your injuries. You may even be denied insurance benefits under a policy that actually covers your situation. Therefore, it is of critical importance that you have your case reviewed by professionals on a timely basis. Delay can also completely prevent you from pursuing a suit, since Mississippi has a general three-year statute of limitations.
