Trusted Legal Help After a Commercial Truck Crash in Tupelo, MS
If you’ve been hurt in a collision with a commercial truck, our Tupelo MS truck accident lawyers can help you pursue justice and compensation. Tupelo sits at the intersection of major routes, including U.S. Highway 45 and Interstate 22, resulting in steady truck traffic through Lee County. Crashes can happen near Ballard Park or along McCullough Boulevard, often leaving victims facing serious injuries.
At the Mike Slocumb Law Firm, we understand these challenges and fight tirelessly on behalf of local residents. Our focus is on investigating and proving negligence under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations—a key difference from standard car crashes.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mississippi Trucking Law
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in the state of Mississippi?
You generally have three years from the date of the accident to file, but acting sooner helps secure vital evidence and witness statements.
What if I’m partially at fault for the crash?
Mississippi follows the rule of Pure Comparative Negligence, so even if you share some blame, you may still recover damages. Your final award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Who can be held liable for a truck accident?
Depending on the case, responsibility may fall on the driver, trucking company, cargo loaders, or maintenance providers.
What damages can I recover after a truck crash?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, future care costs, pain and suffering, and property damage.
What if the truck driver was from another state?
Our firm handles multi-state trucking cases and will manage all jurisdictional and insurance complexities on your behalf.
You can find more about Mississippi trucking regulations and learn about federal truck safety standards from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
