Mississippi Traffic Collisions

When it comes to car accidents in Mississippi, passengers are in a distinguishing position. A passenger who sustains injuries in a car wreck is rarely at fault for the incident. However, this doesn’t make them any less vulnerable to injuries. 

Serious injuries, like broken bones and traumatic brain injuries, are just as likely to happen to a passenger present in a vehicle involved in a crash. Regardless of the type of accident, it is usually presumed that an involved driver is responsible for any injuries a passenger sustains during a collision. 

All Mississippi drivers must obtain car insurance coverage. When a passenger sustains injuries in a crash, car insurance will pay for any damages they sustain and allow them to cover the costs associated with the wreck. 

Oftentimes, when you’ve been hurt in a crash, filing a claim against another person’s insurance provider does not cover the cost of the medical care you need to recover. If an insurance adjuster calls you and offers you a settlement, it’s strongly suggested that you speak with a skilled car crash lawyer regarding your case before agreeing to any offer. 

When you or someone you love sustains serious injuries in a car wreck in Mississippi, it is important to preserve your legal rights. After your wreck, a personal injury lawyer in Jackson may be able to help you obtain the money necessary to cover the costs associated with your accident. You may need to repair your car or get a new one, pay steep medical bills, and more after you’ve been injured in a collision. 

If you were injured due to the negligent actions of another motorist, the law in Mississippi allows you to sue that person for your monetary losses and injuries.
