Pedestrian Accidents in Mississippi

Pedestrian accidents are not as common in Mississippi as in other states in the U.S. However, when they do occur, they are more likely to be deadly. In Mississippi, it is estimated that approximately 70% of pedestrian fatalities occurred at non-intersections. Pedestrians have no protection from harm, which means that they are likely to become severely injured or even killed in an accident. Losing someone you love in a pedestrian accident can have a huge impact on your life, especially when one of these accidents happens unexpectedly. Families often wonder where they can turn after they have suffered the enormous loss of a loved one.
