How Truck Accidents Happen in and Around Southaven

With heavy commercial traffic on I-55, U.S. Route 51, and Goodman Road (Highway 302), serious truck accidents are an unfortunate reality in our area. These crashes are often caused by:

• Driver fatigue or hours-of-service violations
• Distracted or reckless driving
• Speeding or unsafe lane changes
• Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo
• Poor truck maintenance or brake failures
• Inadequate driver training or supervision

When companies cut corners, ordinary people pay the price.

Common Injuries in Truck Accidents

Because of the enormous force involved, truck accidents often cause life-altering injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Severe back and neck injuries
• Broken bones and crush injuries
• Internal organ damage
• Severe burns and disfigurement
• Wrongful death

Many victims require months—or a lifetime—of treatment, rehabilitation, and support.

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

One of the most important differences between truck accidents and car accidents is that more than one party is often responsible. Depending on the circumstances, liable parties may include:

• The truck driver
• The trucking company or carrier
• The company that owns or leases the truck
• A maintenance or repair company
• A cargo loading company
• A truck or parts manufacturer

We investigate every case thoroughly to identify all sources of responsibility and insurance coverage.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Every case is different, but a truck accident claim may include compensation for:

Economic Damages

• Emergency care, hospitalization, and surgery
• Ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation
• Future care needs
• Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
• Property damage and out-of-pocket expenses

Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of companionship and strain on family relationships

Punitive Damages

In cases involving reckless or egregious misconduct, punitive damages may be available to punish wrongdoing and deter similar behavior.

We work with medical experts, life-care planners, and financial professionals to make sure the full long-term impact of your injuries is properly valued.

Mississippi Law & Truck Accident Claims

In Mississippi:

• The statute of limitations is three years from the date of the accident
• The state follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you may still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault

Insurance companies often try to use these rules to shift blame and reduce payouts. We protect our clients from being unfairly blamed or shortchanged.

How Our Southaven Truck Accident Lawyers Help

• We Investigate Immediately
  • We preserve critical evidence such as driver logs, vehicle data, maintenance records, and crash scene information before it disappears.
• We Handle the Insurance Companies
  • You do not have to argue with adjusters or worry about saying the wrong thing. We take over all communication and negotiations.
• We Build the Case for the Long Term
  • Truck accident injuries are often permanent or life-changing. We prepare your case with your future in mind, not just next month’s bills.
• We Prepare Every Case for Trial
  • If the other side refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and fight for justice.

How Long Do I Have to File a Claim?

In most Mississippi truck accident cases, you have three years to file a lawsuit. However, important evidence can be lost in days or weeks, so it is critical to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
