Causes And Types of Mississippi Car Accidents

The type of car accident you’re involved in can impact the severity of resulting injuries and risk of death. The following serious accidents are the most common in Mississippi: 

Car Accident Stats for Mississippi

Although Mississippi is known for its rural areas, the roads in larger cities are infamous for wrecks. Statistics on severe accidents in Mississippi show why:

  • Car crash fatalities rose from 607 in 2014 to 752 in 2020
  • Fatalities per mile traveled rose from 1.51 to 1.90
  • Serious injuries rose from 633 in 2014 to 3,630 in 2020

Mississippi drivers fall far below the national average for seat belt use, contributing to the severity of car accident injuries and the number of fatal injuries. The national average for seat belt use is 90.1 percent, while only about 77.9 percent buckle up behind the wheel in Mississippi.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tupelo Car Accident Lawyers

What can a personal injury attorney do?

Our Tupelo Car Accident Lawyers determine the right dollar amount of your damages, ensuring that all of your bills are covered and anticipating any ongoing medical care you might need.

They also negotiate with insurance companies and the other party on your behalf, keeping a cool head in emotional situations.

What damages can I receive compensation for after a Tupelo car accident?

If another driver caused the accident, then they (and their insurance company) are liable for the injuries and damage you suffered.

You may seek economic damages, which is the actual amount of money that you lose as a result of the collision, including the cost of emergency medical treatment after the wreck and any other medical care you need to make a full recovery, including physical therapy, chiropractic care and surgery.

If you suffered PTSD or emotional trauma from the accident, any therapy bills may be included.
Personal property damaged in the accident is also part of your car accident claim, such as paying to replace or repair your motorcycle, car or SUV.

You may also seek non-economic damages, commonly called pain and suffering. Car accident injuries hurt physically and emotionally, and recovery on both fronts can be painful. The at-fault party should fairly compensate you.

Who could be liable for my Tupelo car crash?

Liability is often determined by using the facts from the police report, which is why it’s so important to call the police after every Tupelo car wreck. Establishing liability is fairly straightforward if it’s just two private vehicles involved in the collision.

However, other circumstances can make the case more complicated, such as if:

  • One driver was a commercial trucker
  • An Uber or Lyft driver was involved in the crash
  • One driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • A municipal bus or other government vehicle was part of the collision

Your Tupelo car accident attorney will be able to sort through the facts and determine liability, even in cases where, like the ones above, more than one party may be responsible for the accident.

How long do I have to file a car accident case in Mississippi?

Mississippi limits how long after a car crash you have to file a lawsuit for damages. This rule, or the statute of limitations, gives you three years from the date of your car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party.

If your loved one was severely injured in a collision and subsequently died from their injuries, then you would have three years from the date they died to hire a Tupelo Car Accident Lawyers to file a wrongful death suit.

If you file a car accident lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired, your case will probably be dismissed, no matter how egregious the fault of the other party was. However, hiring a car accident lawyer can ensure that your case is filed in a timely manner and all paperwork is submitted properly and on time.

When to Contact a Tupelo Car Accident Lawyer

Even though you have three years to file your car crash lawsuit, contacting Tupelo Car Accident Lawyers is better as soon as possible. That way, they have longer to prepare your case, strengthening it.

Additionally, evidence is fresher the earlier you file, including physical evidence from the wreck, witness statements and their memories, and any CCTV or other video that may have captured the collision.

How much does a lawyer cost?

Don’t let worrying about attorney’s fees stop you from holding the person who caused your accident responsible. Many personal injury lawyers, like the car accident attorneys at NST Law, work on a contingency basis.

This fee arrangement means that they don’t get paid unless and until they successfully settle your claim. Their fees are a percentage of your final award.
