If you spend a good chunk of time on the roads in Mississippi, a car accident may be an inevitability. Roughly, 90 people die in car accidents every day in the U.S., according to Centers for Disease Control. Fortunately, not every car accident in Mississippi is fatal, but thousands are injured.
If you are injured in a car accident or a loved one is killed, there are some basics you should be aware of to ensure your case has the best outcome.
Statute of limitations- The statute of limitations for personal injury and car accident claims in Mississippi is three years. That means you must file your claim before the statute of limitations expires, or you won’t be allowed to recover any compensation.
Shared Fault- It is common for more than one person to be at fault for a car accident. In such cases, Mississippi allows you to recover compensation even though you take some blame for a collision under the share fault standard. That means each party is assigned a percentage of liability for a crash depending on the role they played. The percentage of the responsibility is then deducted from the final settlement. For instance, if you are assigned 10 percent responsibility for an accident that amount would be deducted from your award so you would only get 90 of total settlement.
Award Caps- Some states place monetary caps on awards in personal injury cases, but Mississippi doesn’t since the state Supreme Court has established that those such caps are unconstitutional under the Mississippi State Constitution.
