Seeking Compensation Following a Car Crash in DeSoto County

Mississippi has the 6th highest traffic death rate in the United States, with accidents being the 4th leading cause of death in Mississippi. Only heart disease, cancer, and respiratory diseases are more deadly. In 2013, close to 1,700 people died in traffic accidents in Mississippi alone. Thousands more suffered injuries as a result of auto accidents.

Southaven, Mississippi is home to some of the busiest and most dangerous intersections in the Magnolia State, including:

  • Airways Boulevard and Goodman Road
  • Church Road and Getwell Road
  • Goodman Road and U.S. 51
  • Goodman Road and Swinnea Road

If you have been injured in an auto accident in Southaven, then you may be able to seek compensation for your bodily injuries and property damage. However, to do so, you will need to prove that the other driver’s negligent actions caused the accident which, in turn, caused you to suffer injuries and damages. Your damages may come in the form of property damage, medical expenses, doctor bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, or loss of consortium. Our lawyers are familiar with the elements of damages that may apply to victims of car accidents in the Southaven area.

If the other driver engaged in an illegal action such as texting while driving, driving while intoxicated, or speeding, it may be possible for you to proceed under a theory of negligence per se. Under this theory, an act is considered negligent simply because it violated a law, such as a speed limit law. If no citation was issued, as is often the case in Mississippi traffic crashes, you will have to show negligence through eyewitness testimony or other evidence obtained from the scene of a crash in Southaven. Our experienced car accident lawyers will be able to review your case, interview eyewitnesses, and gather the evidence needed to establish the defendant’s negligence.

If no tickets were issued, you should still contact our attorneys for a free consultation. Even if you may have contributed to the accident, you could still recover for your injuries, reduced by the percentage of fault that is attributed to you. Mississippi follows the pure comparative negligence rule where you can pursue a personal injury claim against another negligent driver even if some blame is allocated to you. For example, suppose that a judge or jury determined that you were 30% at fault for the accident and that the other driver was 70% to blame. In that scenario, the other driver would still be liable for his or her 70% of negligence that contributed to the crash, and you would be able to seek partial compensation in the amount of 70% for your injuries. Even if the other driver is trying to point the finger at you following the accident, our firm may still be able to take your case, and we will strive to get you the maximum recovery available under the law.
