Mississippi Pedestrian Crashes
Pedestrian accidents are some of the most dangerous and devastating types of traffic accidents that happen in the United States and in the state of Mississippi. On average, over 5,000 pedestrians end up losing their lives due to injuries they sustain in traffic accidents throughout the United States each year. In Mississippi, hundreds of pedestrians sustain injuries or die each year in traffic crashes.
Unfortunately, the majority of the traffic collisions that happen in the United States and across the Magnolia State are the result of negligent driving. Negligent drivers are responsible for over 92% of reported auto accidents in the country. When you or someone you love has been injured by the actions of a negligent driver, you deserve to be able to recover without having to worry about how you will pay for the costs related to your crash and the injuries that followed.
