Evidence in 18-wheeler cases can disappear quickly, and trucking companies and their insurers may begin investigating almost immediately.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89

>Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happened-in-the-george-county-highway-26-crash\"><\/span>What Happened in the George County Highway 26 Crash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Mississippi Highway Patrol reported that the crash happened Tuesday morning on the Pascagoula River Bridge along Highway 26 in George County. The crash occurred on the section of Highway 26 between Highway 57 and Highway 63.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">According to reports from WLOX and WXXV, the collision involved two passenger vehicles and one 18-wheeler. One person died, and at least one other person was injured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The crash also caused structural damage to the Pascagoula River Bridge. The bridge was closed to traffic while Mississippi Department of Transportation structural engineers inspect the damage and determine when it is safe to reopen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Drivers were urged to avoid the area and use alternate routes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">At this time, investigators have not publicly identified which vehicles collided first, which vehicle the person who died was traveling in, who was operating the 18-wheeler, which trucking company owned or operated the truck, or what caused the crash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">No cause, citation, or criminal charge has been publicly reported at this time. The Mississippi Highway Patrol is continuing its investigation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-18-wheeler-crashes-on-bridges-so-dangerous\"><\/span>Why Are 18-Wheeler Crashes on Bridges So Dangerous?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A collision between a passenger vehicle and an 18-wheeler can be especially dangerous because of the enormous difference in size and weight between the vehicles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A fully loaded commercial truck can weigh as much as 80,000 pounds. A typical passenger vehicle weighs only a fraction of that amount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That difference can have devastating consequences when a truck and passenger vehicle collide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Two-lane bridges can make these crashes even more dangerous. Drivers may have little or no shoulder available to avoid a collision, while barriers on either side of the bridge can leave very little room to maneuver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">People involved in a serious truck crash can suffer:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Traumatic brain injuries<\/li>\n<li>Spinal cord injuries<\/li>\n<li>Internal injuries<\/li>\n<li>Broken bones and multiple fractures<\/li>\n<li>Crush injuries<\/li>\n<li>Neck and back injuries<\/li>\n<li>Severe soft-tissue injuries<\/li>\n<li>Permanent disabilities<\/li>\n<li>Fatal injuries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Some serious injuries may not be immediately obvious after a collision. Anyone involved in a significant crash should seek appropriate medical attention and follow up with a healthcare provider if symptoms develop or worsen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-may-investigators-examine-after-a-truck-crash\"><\/span>What May Investigators Examine After a Truck Crash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The cause of the George County Highway 26 crash has not yet been determined. However, a thorough investigation into a serious 18-wheeler collision may examine many different factors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Investigators may look at whether:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>A driver crossed the center line<\/li>\n<li>A driver was speeding or driving too fast for conditions<\/li>\n<li>A driver was following too closely<\/li>\n<li>A driver was distracted or using a phone<\/li>\n<li>Alcohol or drugs played a role<\/li>\n<li>The truck driver was fatigued<\/li>\n<li>The driver complied with federal hours-of-service requirements<\/li>\n<li>The truck&#8217;s brakes, tires, steering, and other equipment were properly maintained<\/li>\n<li>The trailer was properly loaded and secured<\/li>\n<li>The driver had a history of safety violations<\/li>\n<li>The trucking company properly hired, trained, and supervised the driver<\/li>\n<li>Roadway or bridge conditions contributed to the crash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Electronic evidence can also become extremely important. Depending on the truck and equipment involved, investigators may seek electronic logging device data, engine control module information, GPS and telematics records, dash camera footage, and other data showing what happened immediately before the collision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Federal trucking regulations can play an important role in these investigations. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration establishes hours-of-service requirements that regulate how long commercial drivers may drive and work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For more information, read our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/cglawms.com\/blog\/how-federal-trucking-regulations-impact-mississippi-accident-claims\/\">How Federal Trucking Regulations Impact Mississippi Accident Claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-it-important-to-preserve-evidence-after-an-18-wheeler-crash\"><\/span>Why Is It Important to Preserve Evidence After an 18-Wheeler Crash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Evidence can be one of the most important parts of a serious truck accident investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Trucking companies may possess records and electronic information that can help establish what happened. Some electronic information may be overwritten or lost if it is not preserved promptly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Potentially important evidence can include:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Electronic logging device records<\/li>\n<li>Engine control module data<\/li>\n<li>GPS and telematics information<\/li>\n<li>Dash camera and driver-facing camera footage<\/li>\n<li>Driver qualification records<\/li>\n<li>Drug and alcohol testing records<\/li>\n<li>Hours-of-service records<\/li>\n<li>Truck and trailer maintenance records<\/li>\n<li>Inspection records<\/li>\n<li>Cargo and loading documents<\/li>\n<li>Dispatch communications<\/li>\n<li>Cell phone records<\/li>\n<li>911 recordings<\/li>\n<li>Photographs and video from the crash scene<\/li>\n<li>Vehicle damage<\/li>\n<li>Physical evidence from the roadway and bridge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The condition of the bridge may also provide important evidence. Damage documented by MDOT and physical evidence remaining at the scene can potentially help investigators reconstruct the collision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Because trucking companies and insurance carriers may have their own investigators responding quickly after a major crash, injured people and families should consider protecting their interests as early as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Our article, <a href=\"https:\/\/cglawms.com\/blog\/what-evidence-can-strengthen-your-personal-injury-claim-in-mississippi\/\">What Evidence Can Strengthen Your Personal Injury Claim in Mississippi?<\/a>, provides additional information about preserving evidence after an accident.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-can-bring-a-wrongful-death-claim-after-a-fatal-truck-crash-in-mississippi\"><\/span>Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Claim After a Fatal Truck Crash in Mississippi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When a truck crash causes a death, the surviving family may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Mississippi Code Section <a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/codes\/mississippi\/title-11\/chapter-7\/in-general\/section-11-7-13\/\">11-7-13<\/a> allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death action on behalf of those entitled to recover. Depending on the circumstances, eligible beneficiaries may include a spouse, children, parents, or siblings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A wrongful death claim may seek compensation for damages such as:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Medical expenses<\/li>\n<li>Funeral and burial expenses<\/li>\n<li>Lost financial support<\/li>\n<li>Loss of companionship and society<\/li>\n<li>The deceased person&#8217;s pain and suffering before death<\/li>\n<li>Other damages allowed under Mississippi law<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The circumstances of each family are different, so determining who can bring a claim and what damages may be available requires an individual evaluation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Learn more on our <a href=\"https:\/\/cglawms.com\/mississippi-wrongful-death-lawyer\/\">Mississippi Wrongful Death Lawyer<\/a> page or read <a href=\"https:\/\/cglawms.com\/blog\/understanding-wrongful-death-claims-in-mississippi\/\">Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Mississippi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"mississippis-comparative-fault-rules-can-affect-truck-accident-claims\"><\/span>Mississippi&#8217;s Comparative Fault Rules Can Affect Truck Accident Claims<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Mississippi follows a modified comparative fault system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Under Mississippi Code Section <a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/codes\/mississippi\/title-11\/chapter-7\/in-general\/section-11-7-15\/\">11-7-15<\/a>, a person&#8217;s recovery may be reduced according to their percentage of fault. A person generally may recover damages as long as their share of fault does not exceed 50 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This can become particularly important in a multi-vehicle collision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When several vehicles are involved, insurance companies may attempt to assign responsibility among the different drivers. In the George County Highway 26 crash, however, investigators have not publicly determined who was at fault.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That means families and injured people should not assume responsibility based solely on early news reports or preliminary information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A complete investigation may uncover evidence that is not available in the initial crash reports.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"who-could-be-liable-after-an-18-wheeler-crash\"><\/span>Who Could Be Liable After an 18-Wheeler Crash?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Liability depends on the facts and evidence developed during the investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties could include:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>The driver of the 18-wheeler<\/li>\n<li>The driver of another vehicle<\/li>\n<li>The trucking company or motor carrier<\/li>\n<li>A company responsible for hiring or supervising the driver<\/li>\n<li>A company responsible for loading the truck<\/li>\n<li>A maintenance company<\/li>\n<li>A manufacturer of a defective truck component<\/li>\n<li>A public entity responsible for roadway or bridge conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Not every case will involve each of these parties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">At this stage, there is no public information establishing which party, if any, was responsible for the George County crash. The Mississippi Highway Patrol investigation and a separate civil investigation may reveal additional information.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"highway-26-and-truck-traffic-along-the-mississippi-coast\"><\/span>Highway 26 and Truck Traffic Along the Mississippi Coast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Highway 26 is an important route through George County, connecting Lucedale with communities farther west and carrying local, commercial, and freight traffic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Pascagoula River Bridge is part of a two-lane corridor used by passenger vehicles and commercial trucks. Crashes in this area can affect commuters, families, commercial drivers, and other travelers moving between George County and the Mississippi Coast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For people in Lucedale, George County, Gulfport, and surrounding communities, a serious truck crash can create significant physical, emotional, and financial consequences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">CGG Law represents people injured in serious truck and vehicle crashes throughout Mississippi.

Some injuries can become more noticeable hours or days after a collision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Follow your doctor&#8217;s instructions and keep copies of medical records, bills, prescriptions, and other documentation related to your treatment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"preserve-your-evidence\"><\/span>Preserve Your Evidence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Keep photographs, videos, insurance correspondence, medical records, bills, towing information, and witness contact information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Do not delete photographs, text messages, emails, or other information related to the crash.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"be-careful-with-insurance-companies\"><\/span>Be Careful With Insurance Companies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You may receive calls from insurance companies after a serious collision.

One person died and others were injured. The crash also damaged the bridge, which was closed while MDOT engineers inspect the structure.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775498775224\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Has fault been determined in the Highway 26 crash?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Public reports have not identified a cause or stated which driver was responsible. The Mississippi Highway Patrol is investigating.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775498796885\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is it important to act quickly after an 18-wheeler crash?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Trucking companies may possess important evidence, including electronic logging data, engine control module information, GPS records, camera footage, and maintenance records. Some evidence may be lost or overwritten if it is not preserved promptly.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775498798736\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who can file a wrongful death claim after a fatal truck crash in Mississippi?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Mississippi Code Section 11-7-13 allows certain surviving family members to bring a wrongful death action on behalf of those entitled to recover. Who may bring the claim depends on the circumstances of the family.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775498799697\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does Mississippi&#8217;s comparative fault rule affect a truck accident claim?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Mississippi follows modified comparative fault. A person&#8217;s recovery can be reduced according to their percentage of fault, and the ability to recover generally depends on whether their share of fault exceeds 50 percent.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775498800517\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long do families have to file a claim in Mississippi?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Mississippi generally provides three years for many personal injury claims under Mississippi Code Section 15-1-49. However, exceptions and additional requirements may apply, particularly when a public entity is involved. Families should speak with an attorney as soon as possible rather than waiting until a deadline approaches.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775498801249\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What evidence can be important in an 18-wheeler accident?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Evidence may include the truck&#8217;s electronic logging device records, engine control module data, GPS information, camera footage, maintenance and inspection records, driver qualification records, cargo records, dispatch communications, photographs, witness statements, and physical evidence from the crash scene.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775498802047\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can the trucking company be responsible for a crash?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Potentially. Depending on the facts, a trucking company or motor carrier may have legal responsibility for conduct involving its driver, hiring, training, supervision, maintenance, or other aspects of its operations. Liability must be determined based on the evidence.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775498803281\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What should I do if an insurance company contacts me after a truck crash?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Do not assume that an early settlement offer represents the full value of your claim. Avoid giving a recorded statement or signing documents before you understand your rights and have had an opportunity to speak with an attorney.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789837249056\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Should I contact a lawyer if I was injured but my injuries seem minor?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It can be worthwhile to speak with an attorney after a serious commercial truck collision, particularly when injuries could develop or worsen over time. A lawyer can also help explain your rights and what evidence should be preserved.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"LegalService\",\n  \"name\": \"Chhabra, Gibbs & Gustavis, P.A.\",\n  \"url\": \"https:\/\/cglawms.com\",\n  \"telephone\": \"601-948-8005\",\n  \"areaServed\": \"Mississippi\",\n  \"address\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"PostalAddress\",\n      \"streetAddress\": \"120 N Congress St Suite 200\",\n      \"addressLocality\": \"Jackson\",\n      \"addressRegion\": \"MS\",\n      \"postalCode\": \"39201\",\n      \"addressCountry\": \"US\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"PostalAddress\",\n      \"streetAddress\": \"2202 25th Ave SUITE C2\",\n      \"addressLocality\": \"Gulfport\",\n      \"addressRegion\": \"MS\",\n      \"postalCode\": \"39501\",\n      \"addressCountry\": \"US\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One person died and others were injured when two passenger vehicles and an 18-wheeler crashed on the Highway 26 Pascagoula River Bridge in George County, damaging and closing the bridge.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7521,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,10,36,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-18-wheeler-accidents","category-blog-posts","category-breaking-news","category-rogen-k-chhabra"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>George County Highway 26 Crash: Pascagoula River Bridge<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"George County Highway 26 crash on the Pascagoula River Bridge killed one person.
