Mississippi Auto Accidents

Some of the most common causes of auto accidents in Mississippi include: 

• Distraction

Driver negligence has become a prominent problem in the state of Mississippi and throughout the United States. In one recent year, more than 400,000 car crashes were reported in the United States that were caused by driver distraction. These same accidents took the lives of more than 3,000 individuals. Drivers are choosing more and more to pay attention to their phones more than the road when they are behind the wheel. This is dangerous, selfish, and unsmart. Driving while distracted puts everyone involved at risk for debilitating injuries or even death.
