Question:
How soon should I file a personal injury lawsuit?
Answer:
Acting right away -- possibly within a few days of the accident -- will increase your chances of receiving a quick and fair resolution to your injury claim.
By giving notice you are not obligated to file a claim; it simply preserves your rights and prevents others from later saying that your claim is unfair because you waited too long to tell them about your injuries. By promptly notifying those involved with your injury that you intend to file a claim for your injuries, you can then move at your own pace in processing and negotiating the claim with the insurance company.
Many personal injury cases have a " statute of limitations " meaning that you have a certain amount of time in which you can file a claim.
Question:
What happens during a personal injury lawsuit?
Answer:
Your case will be evaluated by a qualified Mississippi Attorney. After the law firm has been retained on your behalf, we will contact the legal representation of the company or person against whom you are filing a claim. Most Mississippi personal injury cases with merit are settled before any trial is needed, though the firm is ready to take any case to trial in which the offered settlement appears insufficient to compensate your injuries.
Question:
The insurance company wants to settle. What should I do?
Answer:
The Insurance adjusters job is to try to settle personal injury claims as quickly and as cheaply as possible. After you have been involved in an accident and you have sustained damages or injuries, the insurance company of the party at fault will most likley contact you and offer to settle your injury claim immediately or within a short period of time.
Many people feel the complex terminology of the insurance policies along with the high-pressure tactics used by some claims adjusters often leave them feeling like they are not getting what they are entitled to. You may conclude that hiring a Mississippi personal injury lawyer makes sense.
Question:
Do I need to hire an attorney in my city/state?
Answer:
If your injury occured within the State of Mississippi, then you will need to hire a licensed attorney in Mississippi. Our law firm handles personal injury cases all over the State of Mississippi.
Question:
What should I do if I'm unsatisfied with my current attorney?
Answer:
You are allowed to and should seek out a second opinion with a qualified Mississippi personal injury attorney.
