Compensation for Mississippi car accident victims | Wood, Carlton & Hudson, P.C.
On behalf of Wood, Carlton & Hudson, P.C. posted in Car Accidents on Friday, April 17, 2015.
Spring in Mississippi brings warmer weather and longer days. Mississippi residents, eager to soak up the spring sunshine, tend to hit the road and explore their neighborhoods a little bit more. Sometimes, this exploration includes a cocktail or two that is consumed with friends. When residents fail to utilize a designated driver, car accidents can occur.
Drunk drivers can cause extensive injury to car accident victims. From a broken bone to brain damage, the injuries can cause both short and long term injuries that affect an accident victim's ability to earn a living or care for their families. Even if the accident victim has health insurance, the injuries may surpass the limits of the policy, leaving the injured to pay the remainder of the bill out of pocket. In addition, the individual's quality of life may be dramatically altered from the injuries.
In such situations, seeking compensation from a negligent party can help alleviate the sometimes-extreme costs of accidents. If damages are recovered, expenses such as medical bills can be more easily dealt with, hopefully helping pave the way to a smoother recovery for all involved.
For victims of car accidents in both Mississippi and Tennessee, there are limits on when a claim can be filed. A delay could mean a lost opportunity to receive compensation from a drunk driver or other negligent driver.
