Although Vicksburg, Mississippi has scenic landmarks, educational museums, and a thriving casino industry, all of that activity has also ushered in more traffic, and with it, more car accidents. Unfortunately, serious car wrecks in Vicksburg happen all too often, and having to suffer due to the fault of another only adds insult to injury. When you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, it can be difficult to know how to go about putting your life back together – getting your vehicle fixed, seeking medical treatment, and obtaining reimbursement for the medical bills and lost wages that you incur, not to mention pain and suffering. If you’re a victim of a car accident in Vicksburg, it’s important that you contact a Vicksburg car accident lawyer who can advise you of your legal rights. Our law firm is available 24/7 to show you how we can help during your time of need.
A car wreck can happen anywhere, but based on recent news reports, automobile collisions in Vicksburg are more likely to happen on busy roads like U.S. Highway 61, Gibson Road, U.S. Highway 80, Highway 27, and Interstate 20 (I-20). If you have been injured in a car accident, be sure to call local law enforcement so that a report can be made. Depending on your location, the Vicksburg Police Department, Warren County Sherriff Department, or Mississippi Highway Patrol may respond to the scene. Those injured in car accidents in Vicksburg are typically transported to nearby facilities such as Merit Health River Region, or for the more critically injured, airlifted to University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
Some of the more common causes of auto accidents in the area are driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), speeding, distracted driving, texting while driving, failing to stop at stop sign, running a red light, failing to maintain a safe lookout, and failing to yield right of way to oncoming traffic. Unfortunately, even the most cautious of drivers can be involved in a wreck if someone else on the road is not paying attention.
If you have been hurt in a car wreck, it is important to speak with an experienced car accident attorney in the Vicksburg area who can help you develop your case. It is especially important to speak with legal representation of your own before speaking with the insurance company. Insurance companies are notorious for trying to save their companies money at the expense of injured people; however, only people who have routinely dealt with insurance companies, like experienced car wreck attorneys, know the warning signs and red flags to look for.
The first step in building a case is to prove that the at-fault party was negligent or breached a legal duty owed to you – this basically means that you have to prove that the other party broke the law or did something that a reasonable person would not have done under the circumstances. For example, if you have a witness who would testify that the other party ran the stop sign at the intersection of Walnut Street and South Street downtown, you have a greater likelihood of being able to prove the defendant driver’s negligence. However, you do not always need witnesses to prove negligence; sometimes, investigators can survey the accident scene and property damage to determine fault. For example, you may not need a witness to prove that the at-fault party rear-ended you on U.S. 61 if it is clear by looking at the vehicles that your damage is to the back of your car and the other person’s damage is to the front.
The second step to proving a case is to have documented proof of damages. This can come in the form of medical bills, medical records, documents from your employers indicating your lost income, photographs of other items damaged or lost as a result of the accident, and any other proof you can provide to illustrate what you’ve lost. Mississippi law states car accident victims can recover compensatory damages designed to make them whole, as if the wreck never happened in the first place. Our car accident lawyers fight for Vicksburg residents to recover all forms of recovery to which they may be legally entitled.
