In the aftermath of a crash, the steps you take to pursue compensation are crucial. Mississippi operates on fault-based laws after a crash, meaning you can hold someone else accountable for their actions and their role in causing the collision.

How Does It Work?
After you experience a crash, you can hold someone else accountable under Mississippi law. Some states have laws that state you must go through your own insurance company to pursue compensation. Mississippi laws allow you to file a claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Therefore, it becomes imperative to gather evidence that helps you pursue compensation.
Proving fault after a crash requires showing that the other driver was negligent, such as texting and driving, drinking and driving, and more. Through it all, having a lawyer on your side can help.
Who Should I Report My Crash To?
While many people call their insurance company after a crash, you should be careful. Even your insurance company prioritizes profits. As such, before doing anything, be sure to speak with a lawyer who can help you begin the process.
Tell your attorney what happened and what evidence you have. Then, your legal counsel can report everything to your insurance company promptly and effectively while also protecting your rights.
