Car Accident Lawyer for Immigrants in Mississippi
If you are an immigrant and someone injured you in a car wreck, you still have rights. Your immigration status does not erase your right to medical care or financial compensation.

Chhabra, Gibbs & Trehan, PLLC, operates as part of our Jackson-based personal injury practice. That means your accident case and immigration concerns stay coordinated in 1 firm in both our
Jackson and Gulfport offices.
No outside referrals. No handoffs. One legal team working together for you.
Call us anytime at 601-948-8005 for a confidential consultation.
Can Immigrants File a Car Accident Claim in Mississippi?
Yes. Mississippi law allows any injured person to bring a personal injury claim after a car accident.
That includes:
• Undocumented immigrants
• Visa holders
• Permanent residents
• International students
• Temporary workers
Insurance companies may try to scare you or confuse you. Some
adjusters hint that your status matters. It does not.
If another driver caused your crash, you can pursue compensation for:
• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Future care
• Permanent injuries
Period.
Will a Lawyer Ask About My Immigration Status?
No. We focus on your injuries and the facts of your wreck.
We do not report clients to immigration authorities. Your case stays confidential.
Because we have immigration attorneys within our firm structure, we also understand how accident claims and immigration issues can overlap. That gives our clients extra protection and peace of mind.
Our team works with immigrant families throughout Mississippi, including clients in Gulfport and surrounding areas.
We Speak Your Language
Communication matters, especially after a serious accident.
Our staff speaks:
• English
• Spanish
• Hindi
• Punjabi
• Gujarati
You do not have to struggle through legal paperwork in a language you do not fully understand. We explain everything clearly, in your language, from day one.
What If I Do Not Have a Driver’s License or Insurance?
You may still have a valid claim.
Even if:
• You did not have insurance
• You did not have a Mississippi driver’s license
• You received a traffic ticket
You can still recover compensation if the other driver caused the wreck.
Fault matters. Immigration status does not.
Common Car Accident Injuries We See
Immigrant clients suffer the same serious injuries as everyone else:
• Broken bones
• Neck and back injuries
• Herniated discs
• Head trauma and concussions
• Internal injuries
• Permanent disability
These injuries cost money. They also cost time, mobility, and peace of mind. We build claims that reflect the real impact on your life, not just hospital bills.
Why Insurance Companies Target Immigrants
Insurance companies know immigrants often:
• Do not understand the legal system
• Fear speaking up
• Worry about deportation
• Need money fast
So adjusters push low settlements or deny claims outright.
That stops when a lawyer gets involved.
Once we represent you, insurance companies must go through us. No pressure calls. No intimidation. No games.
How Our Firm Helps Immigrant Accident Victims
• Investigate your crash
• Gather police reports and medical records
• Prove fault
• Calculate full damages
• Deal with insurance companies
• File lawsuits when needed
• Take cases to trial
You focus on healing. We handle the legal fight.
Because we also have immigration lawyers operating within our firm, we can spot issues early and protect you on both fronts.
We also help coordinate medical care when clients lack insurance, which is common in immigrant communities.
You Pay Nothing Up Front
We work on contingency. That means:
• No hourly fees
• No retainers
• No upfront costs
We only get paid if we recover money for you.
If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
