Mississippi Car Wrecks

Mississippi Car Wrecks

Vehicle accidents occur every day in the state of Mississippi. Although most of these accidents lead to moderate injuries, others are extremely serious and even deadly in nature. In 2016 alone, it was reported that roughly 690 people died in fatal Mississippi car accidents.

Even though car accidents can take place in multiple ways, head-on collisions are some of the most catastrophic. In one recent year, while only 2% of vehicle accidents were head-on collisions, they accounted for 10% of all crash fatalities statewide. If you have lost a loved one in a fatal car crash, you should talk to a lawyer you can trust.
