Mississippi Auto Collisions
Every year, there are more than 5 million car accidents reported in the United States. In the Magnolia State, hundreds of thousands of auto collisions occur per year. These crashes send approximately 2 million people to the hospital annually and take the lives of more than 40,000. An alarming truth related to these accidents is that most of them happen due to the actions of negligent drivers.
In the past ten years, driver negligence has become more common throughout the United States. A Stanford Law School report estimated approximately 94% of American traffic collisions are caused partially or totally by driver negligence/error. In today’s world, a driver’s attention may be distracted in far too many ways. From cell phones to radios to GPS, there are too many places for drivers to avert their eyes.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you can file a personal injury claim against the responsible party. This is the surest way to be fairly compensated for your injuries and losses. Your life could be totally upended by your injuries, which may range from cuts and bruises to total paralysis. Depending on the nature and severity of your injuries, you may be left with overwhelming debt and severe damages that are too difficult to overcome on your own.
