It is important to know that Mississippi requires all victims of accidents to file a written report to the police within ten days of the date of the accident if the damages exceed $250. If you fail to file a report, you could face legal ramifications. The time to file a personal injury claim is not as strict.
In Mississippi, victims of car accidents have up to three years to file a legal claim against at-fault parties. The statute of limitation begins on the date of the accident. When the three-year period passes, you will most likely have no other options to pursue compensation from those at fault.
