If you have been injured in a car accident in the North Mississippi/ Memphis metro area, you may have a claim or may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering and permanent injury or disfigurement, as well as reimbursement for medical bills, lost wages and property damage. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2009, 989 people in the state of Tennessee were killed in traffic accidents, as opposed to 700 in Mississippi. Of these fatalities, more than ½ were single vehicle accidents.

Mississippi and Tennessee law both provide that if an individual negligently operates a motor vehicle, and as a result of his/her negligence causes injury to you, the negligent party may be required to pay you damages. You can bring a personal injury claim by filing a complaint (lawsuit) in civil court and having the case decided by a judge or jury, or you may choose to resolve your claim with the other party’s insurance company through an informal settlement method such as mediation or arbitration. This can be done either prior to filing the lawsuit or while the lawsuit is pending.

Motor vehicle accidents are not limited to just cars. In fact, many individuals are injured yearly by the negligence of others operating buses, trucks, watercraft, and motorcycles. The attorneys at The Stroud Law Firm firmly believe that an individual who negligently operates a motor vehicle should be held accountable for the damages – physical, emotional, economic, and sometimes even punitive – that result from their actions; or, in some cases, their inactions. We have worked hard to build a solid reputation for helping our clients obtain the compensation – and the justice – they deserve, both through jury verdicts in a courtroom and settlements at the negotiation table.
