What If You Were Partly at Fault?

Not every car accident is entirely one person’s fault. Sometimes, multiple factors contribute; for example, a distracted driver might collide with someone who was speeding through a yellow light, or a sudden lane change could lead another driver to overcorrect and cause a crash.

So, what happens if you share some of the blame for the accident that caused your injuries?

Mississippi follows a pure comparative negligence rule in cases involving shared fault in car accidents. This means that even if you were partly at fault for the crash, you can still pursue compensation for your injuries; your percentage of fault will simply reduce your recovery.

For instance, if you were found to be 20% responsible for the accident and your total damages were $100,000, you could still recover $80,000. This system allows injured victims to seek justice even when they made a minor mistake that contributed to the accident.

However, insurance companies often try to use this rule to their advantage. They may exaggerate your level of fault in an attempt to reduce your payout or deny your claim altogether. That’s why it’s essential to have a knowledgeable Southaven car accident lawyer on your side.

At Mike Slocumb Law Firm, we understand how Mississippi’s negligence laws work and know how to counter insurance company tactics effectively. Our legal team has helped countless car accident victims in Southaven and throughout DeSoto County fight for the compensation they deserve. Whether negotiating a fair settlement or taking your case to court, we’re ready to stand up for your rights and help you move forward.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim in Mississippi?

The statute of limitations determines how long you have to file a lawsuit after a car accident. In Mississippi, the statute of limitations for most car accident injury cases is three years from the date of the crash. That means you typically have up to three years to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries.

If your case only involves vehicle or property damage, you also have three years from the date of the collision to file your claim in court.

Although three years might seem like plenty of time, waiting too long can hurt your case. Evidence can disappear, witnesses may become challenging to locate, and insurance companies often take advantage of delays. Acting quickly gives your attorney the best chance to build a strong claim on your behalf.

At Mike Slocumb Law Firm, our dedicated Southaven car accident lawyers understand the challenges injured victims face. We are familiar with Mississippi law and know how to hold negligent drivers accountable. From gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies and even taking your case to trial if necessary, we’ll fight for the compensation you deserve.

Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Contact our Southaven car crash attorneys at (769) 553-2639 or reach out to us online today for a complimentary consultation—Hablamos español.
