Damages Available in a Mississippi Personal Injury Case

A Mississippi personal injury lawsuit enables a victim of negligence or wrongdoing the opportunity to recoup their losses. This can be a complicated undertaking, particularly when you’re talking about catastrophic injuries that forever alter the course of a victim’s life. That is why the recovery of fair compensation is so important. It will give a victim the chance to get the care they need, for the rest of their life. After a catastrophic injury, a just outcome may be a considerable amount, as evidenced by the hundreds of verdicts and settlements we’ve achieved of $1 million or more.

A personal injury lawsuit may include economic and non-economic damages for medical care, ongoing medical treatment, medication and medical supplies, physical therapy, loss of enjoyment of life, mental anguish, pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of future/potential earnings, and punitive damages. With every case we handle, our injury attorneys see a chance to improve a life that has been turned upside down due to the carelessness or wrongs of another person or company. We fight for real results in every case we take on, no matter what.

We have secured significant results for clients across Mississippi, such as:

  • $12.5 million for a Mississippi man who was injured while working as an offshore worker overseas.
  • $8 million for a client who suffered life-changing injuries in a Mississippi truck accident.
  • $6.25 million for a Mississippi family who lost a loved one while he was working as a barge engineer overseas.
  • $4 million for a worker from Mississippi who was injured in a plant explosion in Texas.
  • $2.5 million for a seaman from Mississippi who was severely injured while working as a deckhand.

Our Mississippi Attorneys Investigate Catastrophic Accidents

To say that many of our clients have suffered catastrophic accidents isn’t an exaggeration. In legal and medical terms, an injury is “catastrophic” when it impedes a person’s mobility or cognitive abilities for an extended period. Catastrophic injuries leave people unable to provide for themselves, robbing them of financial security as their medical bills pile up. In many cases, catastrophic injuries can destroy an entire family’s financial future.

Catastrophic injuries can include:

  • Brain damage
  • Loss of limb
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Severe burn injuries
  • Post-traumatic stress
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Severe fractures
  • Loss of fine motor control

Our team’s duty is to find out how much a catastrophic injury will cost our clients. We work with economists, home care professionals, and other experts to determine exactly what our clients need to recover. As a result, we’re able to fight for verdicts and settlements that provide for our clients and their families. 

This approach is how we’ve won hundreds of results worth $1 million or more and dozens of results upwards of $10 million.

Involving a Mississippi Personal Injury Lawyer: Do You Really Need One?

For very minor injuries that require little to no medical intervention and do not impact your ability to work, you may not need a lawyer. For more serious injuries, however, you should consider legal counsel. The medical bills may quickly pile up, and you may find that you are having trouble paying your bills because you’ve missed a lot of work and will continue to miss more while healing or seeing the doctor for ongoing treatment.

Instead of relying on your employer (if you were injured at work) or insurance company to treat you fairly and pay your claim in a timely manner, put an attorney in your corner who can fight for the support and care you need. Insurance adjusters are not on your side. Large corporations are not going to put your interests and well-being first. 

You need your own champion: a trial-tested Mississippi personal injury attorney at Arnold & Itkin.

Common Questions

  • What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

    Understanding the value of your personal injury case is a priority, as it directly influences the compensation you may receive. The worth of your case depends on several factors, such as the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical treatment, lost wages, and the impact on your daily life, including pain and suffering. As experienced Mississippi injury lawyers, we diligently review every detail of our clients' cases and situations to ensure we capture the full extent of damages. The goal is always to reach a recovery that helps our clients rebuild their lives.

  • How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Mississippi?

    There is a time limit within which a case can be filed. This is called a statute of limitations. In Mississippi, the statute of limitations for most personal injury actions in three years. If you were injured in an auto accident, by a defective product, or in any other situation caused by someone else’s conduct, you have three years to come forward. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to file suit. There are some exceptions to the personal injury statute of limitations. If you were a minor at the time of your injury, for example, you may have three years from the time you turn 18 years old to come forward. Our attorneys can explain what limits may apply to your case.

  • What Should I Do After an Accident or Injury?

    After an accident or injury, your first step should be to ensure your safety and seek immediate medical attention, even if the injuries seem minor. Medical records will be crucial for documenting your condition. Once you are safe, document the scene by taking photos and gathering contact information from any witnesses. Avoid discussing fault or making statements to insurance companies until you've spoken with an attorney. Contacting a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible can also be critical. An experienced attorney can guide you through the initial steps, help protect your rights, and ensure you don't settle for less than you deserve. Remember, taking the right actions early on can significantly impact the outcome of your case.

  • Can I Still Receive Compensation If I Was Partially at Fault?

    Yes, Mississippi follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means that even if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages. However, your compensation may be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you are found to be 30% at fault and the total damages amount to $100,000, you would receive $70,000. It’s important to have a skilled attorney who can work to minimize the degree of fault attributed to you to maximize your compensation.

  • The Insurance Company Offered Me a Settlement. What Should I Do?

    If you're offered a settlement by an insurance company after an injury, it's important to consult with a Mississippi personal injury attorney before accepting. Initial offers may not fully cover all your current and future medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. An attorney can evaluate the offer, negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, and help you pursue a fair settlement that reflects the true extent of your injuries and losses. Remember, once you accept a settlement, you typically waive the right to pursue further compensation, so it’s critical to get it right the first time.

  • How Is Fault Determined in a Mississippi Personal Injury Lawsuit?

    Determining fault in a Mississippi personal injury case typically involves establishing that the other party was negligent and that their negligence caused your injury. This process includes collecting evidence such as accident reports, witness statements, and expert testimonies. In some cases, more than one party could be held accountable. By thoroughly investigating the circumstances leading up to your accident, your attorney can identify all at-fault parties and pursue the compensation you need to build a more stable future.
