We're Here to Help

In the aftermath of an accident, the phrase "accidents happen" may offer little comfort to those who have suffered injuries or lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence. The reality is, while some accidents are unforeseeable, many are preventable and should never occur. If you were injured or lost someone you love due to the negligence of another person, business, or organization, your losses should not be dismissed or minimized. You have the right to seek justice and compensation for the damages you've suffered.

Personal Injury Laws in Mississippi

Understanding Personal Injury Laws in Mississippi

Personal injury law in Mississippi encompasses a wide range of cases, including auto accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and more. These laws are designed to protect individuals who have been injured due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another party. Here is a brief overview of key aspects of personal injury laws in Mississippi:

Comparative Fault

Mississippi follows a pure comparative fault rule. If you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by a percentage equal to your degree of fault. Unlike modified comparative fault states, in Mississippi, you can still recover damages even if you are more than 50% at fault, although your compensation will be reduced accordingly.

Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Mississippi is three years from the date of the accident, as outlined in Mississippi Code Annotated section 15-1-49. This means you have three years to file a lawsuit against the party at fault. Failure to file within this timeframe generally results in the loss of your right to seek compensation.

Damage Caps

Mississippi law imposes caps on non-economic damages (e.g., pain and suffering) in certain types of personal injury cases, such as medical malpractice. For instance, the cap for non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases is $500,000, as outlined in Mississippi Code section 11-1-60. These caps are not adjusted for inflation.

Wrongful Death Actions

Mississippi's wrongful death statute allows certain family members or the estate of the deceased to file a lawsuit if a loved one dies due to someone else's negligence or intentional act. Compensation can include funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship, among others. The relevant laws can be found in Mississippi Code Annotated sections 11-7-13.

"Mr. Burrell represented me for a disability claim and got the job done. I tried to do this on my own and failed. Mr. Burrell knew exactly how to frame the case on facts. His expertise was key to getting a favorable response from the Administrative Law Judge at the hearing."
