Experienced Trial Attorneys on Your Side
Why It's So Important to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney
In a few states, including Alabama, North Carolina, and Virginia, plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits are precluded from collecting any damages if they are determined to have contributed to their injury, loss or damage in any way. In 1910, Mississippi became the first U.S. state to pass a comparative negligence law. In states like Mississippi, New York, and California, plaintiffs may still be able to collect modest damages even if they were largely responsible for causing the accident that injured them under the pure comparative fault doctrine.
While Mississippi residents may collect damages even if their injuries were suffered largely as a result of their own behavior, the damages that they will be awarded will be reduced according to their percentage of fault. For example, a Mississippi motorist who would have been awarded damages of $200,000 in a car accident lawsuit had they been faultless would be awarded $140,000 if the court determined that they bore 30 percent of the responsibility for the crash.
The comparative fault law can lead to highly contentious court arguments in personal injury cases, and this is particularly true when the evidence indicates that the plaintiff could have avoided injury entirely had they acted differently. Defendants may argue that cases should be dismissed or damages reduced if the plaintiff was not wearing a seat belt or failed to take evasive action. Experienced attorneys may anticipate these strategies and prepare for them by gathering data such as police reports, witness statements, and security camera footage.
Our Practice Areas
How We Fight on Behalf of Injured Clients
Uniquely Qualified to Handle Your Case
Our attorneys have gained valuable experience representing defendants such as large insurance companies and nursing homes. We have firsthand insight into the tactics and motivations of the parties we now oppose, and we use our knowledge to pursue positive outcomes for those who have been hurt in Mississippi. As your representative, we will put our knowledge and experience to work for you.
Insurance adjusters have been reported to use formulas and computer programs to estimate the value of some settlements. These formulas may not be based on the actual losses you've faced but on general estimates. If you feel that your recovery is not covering your medical expenses and other losses, you may be entitled to receive more. Williams Newman Williams understands the tactics adjusters sometimes use to save insurance companies money. Our firm also understands that many settlements can be subject to negotiation. Contact our Jackson personal injury attorneys to protect your rights and fight for your best interests.
