Can I recover my lost wages in Mississippi after my car accident caused me to miss work? The answer depends on what happened.

But if someone else was at fault, you can make a claim against their insurance policy or against your uninsured motorist benefits. In Mississippi, lost wages would be an available remedy. The focus of this blog is for non work related injuries in Mississippi that are caused by the fault of someone else. Should...

What should I do if I Am Hit by an 18-Wheeler?

in 18-Wheeler Accidents, Blog Posts, Personal Injury, Ray L. Gustavis

If you drive on the highway in states such as Mississippi, Louisiana, Colorado, Alabama or Tennessee, then you are used to sharing the road with 18-wheelers and log trucks. And if you are like me, every time I am near one, I hold my breath a bit — and for good reason. 18-wheelers cannot respond to traffic as easily nor stop as fast as regular vehicles. If there are poor weather conditions or the 18-wheelers are improperly maintained, disaster can occur. Also, some drivers can be overworked, untrained, sleepy, inattentive, intoxicated, and the list goes on. There are about 500,000 18-wheeler accidents...

You don’t have any broken bones. You aren’t bleeding. Your muscles are aching, but should you really see a doctor? The short answer – YES. An “adrenaline rush” is one of the body’s vital defense mechanisms, and can be triggered during stressful situations such as car wrecks. During an “adrenaline rush”, your body releases epinephrine (aka adrenaline) into your bloodstream. When this happens, your body can experience...

Posted by chhabragibbs

in Blog Posts, Helpful Information, Personal Injury, Workers Compensation

Many Workers Compensation and Personal Injury cases in Mississippi are settled everyday with no attorney involvement between an injured person and an insurance company adjuster. It makes us cringe to know how easy it is to get good advice from a very skilled and experienced Injury lawyer before signing on that dotted line, yet still people just want to get it over with as quick as possible. Usually it is because you may be thinking an injury attorney will take most of the money or an injury attorney probably cannot get more money for you after fees. You also may be...

How long is too long to wait to get medical treatment if you are in an injury? When people have a fall at work or at a business, their first thought is often embarrassment, and their first feeling is often pain.

There is no way to know for sure without seeing a doctor. Some people are too stubborn to go to the doctor for medical treatment in Mississippi unless they absolutely have to and...

Injured In A Car Wreck As A Passenger

Posted by chhabragibbs

in Blog Posts, Motor Vehicle Accidents, Personal Injury

In Mississippi car wreck cases, an injured passenger has rights. In most cases, passengers of a vehicle are not at fault, and the amount of damages they can collect is not limited. A passenger has a valid claim against the driver of the car they were in during a car wreck. For example, a passenger who was injured in a single vehicle crash that was caused by the driver's negligence, such as speeding and losing control of the car, has the right to sue the driver for damages such as medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The driver...
