Pursuing a Bodily Injury Claim After a Motor Vehicle Accident

Due to the central location of Grenada, motor vehicle collisions unfortunately occur on a frequent basis. Common causes include speeding, improper following, texting while driving, distracted driving, and drunk driving. You need to be prepared if you or someone you know is involved in a motor vehicle accident. To be successful in your claim for property damage or bodily injury compensation, a car accident lawyer in Grenada must prove that the other driver caused your accident by establishing the legal elements of negligence. In Mississippi, the burden of proof is placed on the injured victim. The victim must prove that there was a duty owed to them by the other driver, that the other driver breached that duty by failing to act reasonably, that the injury was caused by the breach, and that the victim suffered damages.

For example, let’s say you are headed towards Grenada Lake when a driver traveling in the opposite direction makes a sudden left turn in front of you. You immediately hit your brakes, but are unable to prevent the collision between the two vehicles. Your head hits the steering wheel due to the impact and your vehicle is deemed a total loss. This seems like a fairly straightforward case. However, what if the man driving the other vehicle tells the police that you were speeding down the road? Now you are involved in a back and forth battle of who is to blame. The possibility of disputed liability is one reason you should retain an experienced car accident attorney in the Grenada area to help you navigate through the legal process.

Mississippi law follows what is known as pure comparative fault. Under the rule of pure comparative fault, the victim of a motor vehicle accident is not completely barred from recovering unless they are found to be 100% at fault for the accident. However, the victim’s recovery will be reduced by the amount of fault that is placed upon him or her. With the possibility of your recovery being diminished due to assertions of the other driver that you were at fault, it is imperative that you have an experienced attorney on your side. On behalf of accident victims, our attorneys can work to develop an effective approach for your case, determine if there are witnesses to the accident, and ensure that you are fairly compensated for your injuries.
