Corinth Car Accidents

Dedicated Attorneys Fighting for Auto Accident Victims in Corinth

Car accidents happen far too frequently. If the driver of another vehicle on the road is not careful, an accident can occur no matter how carefully you try to drive. Corinth serves as the county seat for Alcorn County and many vehicles travel through the area each day. You may be headed to the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center to learn more about the 1862 Battle of Shiloh, and you prepare to turn into the entrance your speed lowers. Unfortunately, the driver of the vehicle behind you is sending a text message and fails to brake as you slow down. He hits you in the rear going 40 miles per hour. The impact causes physical injuries and significant damage to your vehicle – both of which could cause you thousands of dollars in medical bills and vehicle repairs. If you have been injured in an auto accident in Corinth, our Corinth car accident lawyers are ready to fight for your rights. With over 30 attorneys and more than 100 support staff members, our firm has the resources to go up against large insurance companies and prepare your case the NST way.

Fighting for Adequate Compensation in a Corinth Auto Accident Case

To succeed in an auto accident case, you must prove that the other driver involved caused your accident through the legal elements of negligence. As the injured victim, Mississippi law places this burden of proof on you, the person who was hurt. Negligence is the primary cause of most accidents in Corinth and in order to bring a successful claim, the victim must prove that there was a duty owed by the other driver to the victim, that the other driver breached this duty by failing to act reasonably, that the injuries sustained were caused by the breach, and that the victim suffered damages as a result. Our car accident attorneys can help Corinth victims prove each of these elements of negligence based on the facts of their accident.

To illustrate negligence, common causes of car wrecks in Alcorn County include:

  • Following too closely
  • Improper turns
  • Texting while driving
  • Distracted driving
  • Drinking while driving
  • Speeding
  • Failing to maintain a safe lookout

In many cases, insurance companies contest liability and attempt to minimize the victim’s damages. In an attempt to avoid compensating the victim for their losses, the insurance company may argue that the victim was to some degree at fault for the accident. Mississippi law follows the rule of pure comparative fault. What this means is that an accident victim’s recovery can be reduced by any percentage of fault attributed to him or her.

Insurance companies may even contest the damages portion of the claim. Damages suffered following a car wreck may include bodily injuries, medical bills, lost wages, loss of enjoyment of life, and pain and suffering. Determining if you hold any portion of fault for the auto accident or determining an adequate amount for damages can be difficult. It is important to have an experienced representative on your team to properly develop these theories. Our Corinth car accident attorneys have a significant experience going up against big insurance companies and fighting on behalf of those injured. We are here to ensure that you are fairly compensated. If the insurance company fails to make you a fair offer, our team is ready to file a lawsuit in court to continue fighting for you.
