An Overview of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Mississippi

A serious accident in Mississippi can change your entire life. You do not have to take on the legal claims process alone. At Keith B. French Law, PLLC, we are a boutique law firm that is proud to provide aggressive representation to victims and families. Our team is not on the side of the big insurance companies. With an office in Jackson, we fight for justice and the maximum compensation for injured victims in Mississippi. Among other cases, our personal injury team has experience with: 

• Car Accidents: Hurt in a motor vehicle crash in Mississippi? You have the right to seek justice and the maximum available financial compensation. Mississippi follows a pure comparative negligence rule. A driver can recover damages even if they are 99 percent at fault (Miss. Code Ann. § 11-7-15). Liability is determined based on each party’s degree of blame for the collision. Our Mississippi car accident lawyer will protect your rights.  
• Tractor Trailer Accidents: In Mississippi, commercial trucks can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. A crash could be catastrophic, even deadly. Indeed, truck accidents often cause severe injuries, and in Mississippi, you can sue the driver, the trucking company, or both. These cases are complex and require quick investigation and access to logbooks, black box data, and maintenance records. Our Mississippi truck accident lawyer can help. 
• Motorcycle Wrecks: Did you know that nearly 80 percent of motorcycle crashes result in rider injuries? It is an alarmingly high percentage. If you were hit while riding your motorcycle in Mississippi, you do not need to be completely blameless to file a claim. You can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. However, sadly, insurance companies often blame bikers. Do not accept less than what you are entitled to.
• Pedestrian Collisions: We have the skills and experience to protect the rights and the interests of injured pedestrians in Mississippi. Bad crashes can cause bad injuries. You need a top attorney on your side. Consult with our pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible. 
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Under Mississippi premises liability law, a property owner may be liable for injuries if they knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it. The level of duty depends on the visitor’s status—invitee, licensee, or trespasser. Our Mississippi premises liability attorney handles the full range of slip and fall cases. 
• Medical Malpractice Law: Mississippi has complex medical malpractice laws. You need a lawyer with specialized expertise on your side. Mississippi law (Miss. Code Ann. § 11-1-58) requires a plaintiff to provide a certificate of consultation with a qualified medical expert before filing a malpractice claim. 
• Nursing Home Abuse Claims: If your loved one is being mistreated in a Mississippi nursing home, you can take legal action to stop the abuse and demand justice. State law protects vulnerable adults. A nursing home or other assisted living facility can and should be held accountable for harm caused by abuse or neglect within a nursing home. 

Injured Victims Deserve the Maximum Available Compensation

Hurt in an accident in Mississippi? You have the right to seek compensation for both economic losses and non-economic damages. Do not take on the claims process alone. You need a top-tier attorney on your side. Defendants and insurers fight hard to pay out as little as possible in settlement negotiations. You do not have to take them on alone. Along with other types of damages, you may be entitled to recover compensation for: 

• Vehicle repairs and other property damage;
• Emergency medical treatment; 
• Hospital bills and other health costs; 
• Physical therapy and mental health support; 
• Loss of wages and diminishment of earnings; 
• Pain and suffering & mental distress; 
• Disability and/or disfigurement; and
• Wrongful death of a family member.
