Mississippi Auto Accidents
Throughout the nation, automobiles have taken over as the most widely used form of transportation. They’re a convenient and fast way to get around. However, due to the constant and unavoidable threat of becoming involved in a crash, riding in a car (on busy roads) can be considered somewhat dangerous.
On average, the United States sees a total of over 6 million car crashes per year. This is equal to over 17,000 accidents per day. The state of Mississippi is among the top states in the nation with the most yearly auto accidents, with over 150,000 annual wrecks reported.
Unfortunately, a percentage of car accidents will end up injuring those involved. Approximately 55,000 individuals sustain injuries in Mississippi auto crashes yearly while over 1,000 are so severely injured that they end up losing their lives. Approximately 32,000 people are killed in yearly auto collisions in the United States. Some of the most common injuries seen in car crashes in Mississippi include:
- Damage to internal organs
- Injuries to the spinal cord
- Traumatic brain injury
- Bone fractures
Sustaining severe injuries of any kind is painful, exhausting, and even debilitating. Not only is your physical health in a suboptimal state, but it is also likely that your mental and financial well-being is being threatened during the aftermath of a serious accident.
While you are suffering in more ways than one, it is important to know whether or not your injuries are your fault or the fault of another person. If you were involved in a traffic accident with another person, who caused the wreck? If you believe it was caused by someone else, you should contact an attorney as soon as you can.
