Mississippi Vehicle Crashes

A serious auto accident can change your life in a multitude of different ways.

Driver negligence causes the majority of car crashes reported in the United States and throughout the nation. Over 90% of the car crashes reported in the United States are the result of driver negligence. More than 400,000 vehicle collisions are reported as a result of driver distraction per year, which is the most commonly seen form of driver negligence out there.
