A successful car accident lawsuit depends on proving that your injuries were caused by negligence on the part of another driver. Since Mississippi is a pure comparative fault state, you can still recover damages even if you are partially to blame for the accident that caused your injuries.
A car accident injury victim can recover damages in an amount that corresponds to your level of fault. For example, if you are awarded $50,000 in damages but are found to be 10% responsible for your accident, your award will be reduced by $5,000. Your total award would be $45,000.
Lawyers with years of experience with personal injury cases understand certain elements are required to prove negligence. To secure a fair settlement for you, your injury attorney will set out to prove:
Whether you were injured in a truck accident, a motorcycle accident, or an accident with another car, the elements of proving negligence are the same. To seek maximum compensation for you and your family members, The Champions for the Injured at NST Law will work to vigorously prove your case.
If you’ve been injured in a crash or lost a loved one due to the negligence of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation. The amount of compensation available to you will depend on the severity of your car accident and the kinds of injuries you sustained.

In addition to economic damages intended to cover your medical expenses, you could be awarded damages to pay for property damage to your vehicle and to compensate for lost wages and income-earning ability.

The Columbus car accident lawyers at NST Law can help you file a workers’ compensation claim if you were injured in a car accident on the job. We can also assist you in filing for Social Security disability assistance if you can no longer work after your accident.
Statutes of limitations are laws limiting the amount of time in which someone can initiate legal proceedings against another person. There are distinct statutes of limitations for criminal accusations and civil lawsuits.
If you are injured in a car accident in Columbus, you must begin your legal action within three years from the date of the accident. If the at-fault party was a governmental entity, the statute of limitations is one year from the date of the accident.
Waiting until the statute of limitations has expired almost always results in immediate dismissal of your case. An experienced personal injury lawyer in Columbus will help you understand how the statutes of limitations will apply in your case.
