How to Determine If YouHave a Personal Injury Case

Most personal injury claims are brought on the grounds of negligence. In such cases, the person bringing the claim (known as the “plaintiff”) has the burden of proof, meaning they are responsible for proving that the party against whom they are bringing the claim (known as the “defendant”) was negligent. Unlike in criminal cases, in which the defendant must be proven guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt,” the defendant in a civil claim must only be proven to have been more likely responsible than not for causing the injury.

Before establishing negligence, you must also prove that the defendant owed you a “duty of care.” This means that they had a legal responsibility to act reasonably and/or take certain measures to prevent foreseeable injury. In most cases, the duty of care is implied. For example, there is an implied duty of care in doctor-patient relationships, as well as an implied duty of care amongst motorists on a shared roadway. Therefore, simply establishing that a doctor-patient relationship existed, or that you were on the same road as a negligent motorist, is often enough to establish a duty of care.

Personal injury cases often arise from the following situations:

The surviving family members of people who die due to others’ negligent or wrongful conduct can also seek justice and financial recovery by filing wrongful death claims. Our attorneys at ‘MAGGIO LAW can help you understand your legal rights and options. We are passionate about standing up for injured victims and the families of those wrongfully killed, and we are prepared to help you navigate this incredibly challenging time.

We are also available to help injured workers file workers' compensation claims.

What Is Comparative Negligence?

While some accidents are the result of a single person’s negligence or misconduct, many occur due to myriad factors. Often, more than one person is to blame. Fault may be shared evenly between multiple parties but, more commonly, it can be attributed largely—but not entirely—to one party with another party sharing a smaller portion of the blame. When this is the case, who is responsible for the injured parties’ damages?

Mississippi follows what is known as a “rule of pure comparative negligence.” Under this rule, injured parties can file claims and seek compensation after an accident or injury-causing event even if they share some of the fault. This is true regardless of the degree of fault, as long as it is less than 100%. However, the plaintiff’s total recovery will be reduced by their at-fault percentage, meaning they will not be able to recover the full amount they could have received if they were not found partially to blame.

For example, imagine you were injured in an accident with someone who was texting while driving and ended up incurring $10,000 in damages. The texting driver ran a red light, crashing into the side of your car as you drove through the intersection. However, you were speeding to make the light when the collision occurred. As a result, the insurance company argues that you were 30% to blame for the accident. In this scenario, you would only be able to recover up to 70% of the total cost of your damages, or $7,000.

Often, the insurance company tries to overinflate the claimant’s degree of fault to avoid paying out the full amount owed. It is important that you speak to an attorney before accepting any settlement offer or signing anything provided to you from the insurance company. Your attorney can determine whether the insurance adjuster’s valuation of your claim is just and, if not, can negotiate a more favorable settlement. If necessary, your attorney can even pursue litigation and represent you at trial.
