Motorcycle Accident Lawyers in Jackson, Mississippi

If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident as a result of a negligent driver, Mama Justice can help you. Contact our Jackson motorcycle accident lawyers to get started on your case.

Whether you are taking a leisurely ride across town, traveling to work, or heading out for the evening, it is crucial that a motorcyclist is able to make it to their destination without any issues. Unfortunately, we see thousands of riders harmed every year in motor vehicle accidents in Jackson and throughout the state of Mississippi.

In many instances, drivers say that they did not see the motorcycle after striking them. Not seeing a vehicle that is legally traveling on the road is not an excuse and will not remove any liability from careless, reckless, and negligent drivers. If you have been injured in a motorcycle accident, our personal injury lawyers in Jackson can help you hold negligent drivers to account so you can get justice.

The Jackson motorcycle accident attorneys at Mama Justice have in-depth knowledge about the responsibilities and duties of drivers throughout the state of Mississippi. If you have been harmed in an accident due to the negligent, reckless, or malicious actions of another driver, we will fight to help you recover the financial compensation you need. We offer free case evaluations for all prospective clients and can meet with you at your earliest convenience to review the circumstances surrounding your accident and identify all liable parties.

Types of Motorcycle Accidents in Jackson

Like accidents involving other types of vehicles, motorcycle crashes can take a variety of forms. Some of the most common types of motorcycle accidents we see in Jackson include:

Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions involving motorcycles can be devastating. Motorcyclists often wear little more than helmets to protect themselves during accidents. As a result, they are likely to suffer severe injuries that require immediate and long-term care.

Left Turn Accidents

There are many instances where motorcyclists sustain severe injuries in crashes due to drivers who irresponsibly pull into their paths while making left turns at intersections. Riders are forced to take evasive actions to avoid collisions whenever possible. However, there are many instances where riders are unable to do so.

Broadside Collisions

Broadside collisions, or T-bone crashes, are some of the most dangerous types of crashes that take place. Motorcyclists who are broadsided may be ejected from their vehicles or pinned between their vehicle and the striking vehicle. Victims involved in these accidents are likely to suffer severe and life-altering injuries that require immediate medical care.

Rear-End Collisions

Motorcyclists are often harmed in crashes by drivers who follow too closely. When drivers fail to observe how much space they have between their vehicles and motorcycles ahead of them, they are likely to crash into them at intersections and due to motorcyclists slowing down or stopping. Rear-end crashes can result in ejection and severe injuries for riders.

Regardless of the type of accident you were harmed in, it is crucial that you seek the guidance of a skilled motorcycle accident attorney in Jackson as soon as possible. You may be entitled to compensation that you can use to cover various damages you face as a result of your accident.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Jackson

Motorcycle accidents take place at an alarming rate in Jackson and throughout the state of Mississippi. These accidents can often be attributed to some form of negligence. Some of the leading causes of motorcycle accidents in Jackson that we help victims recover from include those involving:

Drivers who turn without signaling or checking parallel lanes.
Drivers who make lane changes without checking for vehicles traveling beside them.
Misjudging the distance of a motorcycle before turning in front of them.
Sharing lanes with motorcycles.
Passing motorcycles too closely.
Speeding.
Engaging in aggressive driving actions.
Drivers who run red lights or pass stop signs.
Limited visibility due to weather or traveling in the dark.
Failing to yield the right of way.
Following too closely.
Driving while impaired by drugs or alcohol.
Driving while distracted.
Debris left in roadways.
Drivers who are drowsy and/or fall asleep behind the wheel.

The majority of motorcycle accidents take place as a result of negligent drivers sharing the road. Although motorcycles are often stereotyped as being negligent, the majority of riders are extremely responsible and considerate. Motorcyclists are not able to control how others sharing the road act.

Common Injuries from Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to result in severe injuries than most other types of collisions. Motorcycle accident victims often suffer life-changing injuries in crashes due to the lack of structural protection. Even in cases where motorcyclists are wearing helmets, they are likely to incur injuries that severely alter their way of life.

These riders are often struck by vehicles weighing several thousands of pounds. Drivers who are traveling in commercial vehicles, SUVs, and pickup trucks, as well as those who speed, have all been known to increase the risk of riders being severely harmed. Riders can easily be ejected from their vehicles, which also raises the likelihood of catastrophic and fatal injuries.

Here in Jackson, the injuries that most commonly occur in motorcycle accidents include:

Broken bones and compound fractures
Spinal cord injuries
Paralysis (paraplegia and quadriplegia)
Traumatic brain injuries
Head trauma
Traumatic brain injuries
Neck and soft tissue injuries
Back injuries
Disfigurements
The loss of limbs
Cuts, scrapes, lacerations

Victims who are harmed in motorcycle accidents are often rushed to hospitals where they undergo emergency surgery and remain hospitalized for several days. Many victims require long-term care, like therapy and rehabilitation following their accidents. Many riders suffer debilitating injuries that leave them permanently disabled. Being involved in a motorcycle accident can impact nearly every aspect of your life and for this reason, you deserve justice.

What to Do if You are Harmed in a Motorcycle Crash

The time immediately following a motorcycle accident can be extremely overwhelming. Many victims are not sure of what to do. As a result, numerous innocent parties never receive justice or compensation for the pain and suffering they are forced to endure. Should you be harmed in a motorcycle accident in Jackson, there are various things you can do to protect your legal rights and best interests. Some of the steps you should take following a motorcycle crash include:

Report the accident to the police and your insurance company as soon as possible. This will help to get the ball rolling and build a strong record of what took place.
Seek medical attention immediately. It is never a good idea to “tough it out” following an accident. You may have internal organ injuries and other severe and life-threatening injuries that require immediate care. Not only will receiving prompt medical care help you physically, but it can also help build a strong case and prove damages when it comes to recovering compensation from your accident.
If possible, have someone at the scene of the accident take pictures. You can benefit greatly by having pictures of all of the vehicles involved, the road and weather conditions, and various other factors at the scene.
If your motorcycle was not impounded by the police, have a trusted friend or family member put it into storage. Having several photos to show the damage, as well as reports from mechanics, can help prove the extent of damages to your vehicle.

Taking these steps following your accident can help strengthen your legal position and protect your health and wellbeing. Reaching out to a motorcycle accident lawyer in Jackson as soon as possible can help you get the justice you deserve.

About Our Firm

Hello friends and family, I am Missy Wigginton, also known as Mama Justice. When meeting me, some people ask me how I got my name. The answer: I have 2 sons. When they were little, we always had a yard full of kids. All my boys’ friends called me Mama Missy because I made sure they were all fed and had plenty of cool drinks on those hot, southern, summer days. Being a mama is one of the most rewarding and best jobs that God has ever blessed me with.

I am also thankful that God put me in a position where He can use me to help others in very difficult times. I, too, have been in difficult times, the worst of which being when my 25-year-old son left this earth for his heavenly home. Through the trials and tribulations of my loss, God remained faithful. Losing my son taught me that all things that happen in life can be used for good. My job allows me to be Mama Missy not only to my beloved children and grandchildren but to everyone who needs justice. Hence the name, Mama Justice. Although I am familiar with many areas of law, I focus my practice on personal injury cases. I represent injured people in all types of wrecks, accidents and work-related issues. For many folks, a car crash or work-related accident has the potential to turn their lives upside down, leaving them unsure of which direction to turn. When this happens to you, my goal is to help you through your most difficult times and make sure that you are properly represented when dealing with insurance companies. I will take on the headache of dealing with insurance companies so you can focus on getting better. I will personally work your case and ensure that every client stays informed and is treated as a friend and family member here at Mama Justice. Our business model is just that—to treat all clients like family! If you have had a wreck or been in an accident, then you have come to the right place—we are here to help you.
