Mississippi Car Crashes
Residents of Mississippi lose about $861 million in car accidents and motor vehicle crash-related deaths each year. Yet, these numbers fail to account for the massive burden placed upon car accident victims and their family members.
Each year, more than 30,000 individuals lose their lives in car crashes. The survivors of car wrecks and their families may need to undergo months to years of rehab, miss important time at work leading to financial stress, and may have to deal with other difficulties due to changes in their lifestyle after a collision.
