Mississippi Car Accidents

In Mississippi, a sizable proportion of adult drivers acknowledges using their cell phones behind the wheel. In fact, an alarmingly high 45% of adult drivers in the state admit to reading, writing, or sending text messages while operating a vehicle, and 75% admit to chatting on a cell phone while driving. Driver distraction is a major contributor to accidents, accounting for 80% of collisions in the three seconds just before impact.

Involvement in a catastrophic automobile crash might not only lead to bodily injuries but can also result in financial damages for the victims and their families. It is possible to feel overburdened by the costs associated with medical treatment, wages missed as a result of being unable to work, and ongoing pain and suffering. Having to deal with the aftermath of the incident on your own, without the assistance of an experienced personal injury lawyer, can make the situation feel much more overwhelming.
