If you were hurt in a motorcycle crash, our Olive Branch MS motorcycle accident lawyers can help you pursue compensation and handle insurers while you focus on healing. A sudden impact at Goodman Road or along I-22 can turn an ordinary ride into months of recovery. That is when an advocate matters.
At Mike Slocumb Law Firm, we combine local insight with proven litigation experience to serve Mississippi riders. We understand that crashes often happen along MS 302 and the I-22 corridor, leaving riders vulnerable. We work quickly to preserve evidence and fight to prevent the insurance company from unfairly blaming the rider. From Olive Branch City Park to Methodist Olive Branch Hospital, we know the places and the roads that shape your daily routes. To learn more about our approach, visit our firm’s website.
Why Choose Mike Slocumb Law Firm in Olive Branch?
Motorcycle crashes involve unique legal challenges and biases that set them apart from standard auto collisions. Our team specializes in the issues specific to Olive Branch and Mississippi law:
- Pure Comparative Negligence Advantage: Mississippi’s law allows recovery even if you are mostly at fault. We leverage this rule to maximize your compensation.
- Fighting Rider Bias: We know how to counter low settlement offers by providing detailed documentation, expert reports, and medical evidence to challenge claims of rider fault.
- Local expertise: Olive Branch crashes often occur at busy corridors, such as Goodman Road (MS-302), MS-305, and the I-22 interchanges. We understand local traffic patterns, typical insurer defenses, and how to clearly document liability.
- Transparent pricing: You pay nothing up front. Our contingency fee means we only get paid if we recover for you.
For example: a rider near Eastover Estates was sideswiped by a left‑turning SUV on MS‑305. We preserved the traffic-cam footage, obtained the crash report, and pursued compensation for surgery, therapy, and lost wages. We bring this commitment to every case.
Frequently Asked Questions: Motorcycle Accidents in Mississippi
Many local residents have questions after a motorcycle crash. Here are a few quick answers:
How long do I have to file a motorcycle injury claim in Mississippi?
Mississippi generally allows three years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. Evidence is easier to secure early, so it is smart to call soon. We will track your deadlines and handle the paperwork.
What if the driver who hit me is uninsured or underinsured?
Your UM or UIM coverage can step in. We review your policy, document damages, and negotiate with your carrier. If the insurer delays or undervalues your claim, we counter with medical evidence and expert opinions to support our position.
How much is my case value calculated?
We total economic losses, including treatment and missed work, and then account for pain, limitations, and future care. Severity, recovery time, and any permanent effects influence value. We utilize records, provider opinions, and, in some cases, vocational experts to demonstrate the full impact.
Will my case settle or go to trial?
Most matters settle, but we prepare as if a trial will happen. Strong preparation often leads to better offers. If a fair settlement is not on the table, we are ready to file and present your case to a jury.
What should I do right after a motorcycle crash in Olive Branch?
Move to a safe location, call 911, and seek medical attention. Photograph the vehicles, skid marks, and your injuries. Exchange information, but do not admit fault. Contact a lawyer promptly so we can preserve the video and witness statements before they are lost or destroyed.
*Many local residents ask who pays medical bills while the case is pending. We help coordinate health insurance, MedPay, or letters of protection so treatment continues.*

The Hazards of Driving in Olive Branch MS
Olive Branch crashes often occur at busy corridors, such as Goodman Road (MS-302), MS-305, and the I-22 interchanges. If your crash involved a large semi-truck or commercial delivery vehicle, those claims require specialized legal handling due to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) laws. We direct those claims to our specialized page: Olive Branch MS Truck Accident Lawyer.
Another frequent question is where to seek urgent care after hours. Methodist Olive Branch Hospital offers emergency services that riders frequently utilize after roadway crashes on I-22 or MS-305. Crash frequency rises where high‑speed corridors meet retail driveways; the DeSoto County Road Department publishes maintenance and road notices that sometimes explain hazards.
