Recovering Fair Compensation for Your Injuries
For over 30 years, Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz has represented injured parties.

Each personal injury case will have its own legal standard under which certain elements will need to be established. Mississippi law, like other states, places the burden of proof on the plaintiff. All claims have a strict statute of limitation, meaning the claim can be dismissed if it is not filed within the appropriate amount of time.
Many people hurt in a car or truck accident in Olive Branch will seek emergency medical treatment at Methodist Olive Branch Hospital, which opened in 2013. Their address is 4250 Bethel Road, Olive Branch, MS 38654. Their phone number is (662) 932-9000. Auto or trucking accident victims may be entitled to damages for medical bills (including emergency room treatment, physical therapy, surgery, etc.), lost wages, and pain and suffering, among others. An experienced personal injury attorney in the Olive Branch area can advise you as to which damages may apply to your case. If you were hurt on the job, you should report your injury to your employer immediately. The Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission states workplace injuries should be reported within 30 days of the date of injury. Injured workers can recover benefits for medical bills, wage loss, and permanent disability.
Certain case types may require expert testimony in order to prove liability. These are often medical malpractice and nursing home neglect. You may have grounds to assert a medical malpractice claim if a doctor or physician erroneously performed a medical procedure, misdiagnosed a condition, failed to accurately diagnose a condition, or prescribed the wrong medication, thereby causing harm. Similarly, nursing homes can fall below their standard of care by allowing patients to become dehydrated, malnourished, develop bed sores, or otherwise deteriorate in health.
