Car Accident Lawyers Southaven, MS
When the Crash Is Serious, You Need a Trial Firm
If you were seriously injured in a car accident in Southaven or anywhere in DeSoto County, the most important decision you make isn’t what to tell the insurance company — it’s who stands between you and them.
At Stroud, Flechas & Dalton, we are not a volume-based, billboard settlement firm. We are trial lawyers known across North Mississippi and the Memphis metro for handling serious injury, trucking, and catastrophic crash cases — and taking them to court when that’s what it takes to get real results.
Our firm has recovered over $100 million for injured clients, including:
- $2.4 million in a major trucking collision
- Multiple six-figure and high six-figure auto crash recoveries
- Numerous seven-figure verdicts and settlements in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases
We handle severe crashes on I-55, Stateline Road, Goodman Road, Getwell Road, and Church Road, and throughout Southaven and DeSoto County. When insurance companies won’t be reasonable, we don’t posture — we prepare for trial and force them to take the case seriously.

Serious Wrecks Require a Different Kind of Law Firm
A serious crash doesn’t just cause pain. It can:
- End a career
- Create lifelong medical needs
- Put your family under extreme financial stress
- Permanently change your future
Insurance companies know this. They also know most law firms don’t actually want to go to trial.
We do.
Every serious case we accept is built as if it will be tried before a jury. That single fact changes how insurers treat our cases — and why our clients consistently recover more.
What Makes Stroud, Flechas & Dalton Different
- We focus on serious car and truck accident cases. For decades, we’ve handled catastrophic crashes, trucking accidents, and wrongful death cases that require real trial experience and significant resources.
- We prepare every case for trial. Our reputation for taking cases to court — and even to appeal when necessary — gives us real leverage when insurance companies refuse to be fair.
- We are local to Southaven with regional reach. We’ve served DeSoto County and the Memphis metro for over 25 years and handle complex crashes across Mississippi and Tennessee.
- You work directly with your lawyers. We are not a settlement mill — you get personal attention, honest advice, and a case built the right way from day one.
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Mississippi?
In most cases, you have three years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. If you miss that deadline, you likely lose your right to recover anything.
But waiting is dangerous.
Evidence disappears. Vehicles get repaired or destroyed. Witnesses scatter. And the insurance company starts building its defense immediately.
You should be building yours, too.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
In Mississippi car accident cases, you may be entitled to both economic and non-economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost income and loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
In cases involving drunk drivers, extreme recklessness, or corporate misconduct, punitive damages may also be available.
We don’t just look at today’s bills. We work with experts to calculate the real lifetime cost of what this crash has taken from you.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
To build a strong auto accident claim, you must be able to demonstrate that another party's negligence directly led to the collision and your injuries. Driver negligence can take many forms, and it can be established through evidence like police reports, surveillance footage, and eyewitness testimony.
You may have a case if you were harmed in a car accident caused by:
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Speeding
- Reckless driving
- Failure to obey traffic laws
- Fatigued driving
Proving this requires real investigation, not just a police report. That’s what we do.

“- Keron S.
Wesley Hisaw has represented me with my post divorce modification as well as a faultless MVA case. Divorce is never easy, but mine was exceptionally complicated and sensitive in nature. I was let down by my previous attorney and my trust in legal representation was broken. After my first consult with him, I walked out of his office with confidence in my case. I felt I was exactly where I needed to be and genuinely trusted he would help me, which he did! He is worth every penny and highly recommend! He has ALWAYS been there when I needed his legal guidance and support, extremely responsive and his assurance has never failed me!
