Mississippi Traffic Accidents
Some of the most dangerous types of traffic accidents that happen in the state of Mississippi and throughout the US are pedestrian crashes. Sadly, pedestrians usually suffer injuries that are debilitating or even fatal when they are hit by vehicles. Each year, more than 5,000 pedestrians lose their lives in fatal traffic accidents in the United States. More than half of reported pedestrian wrecks are caused by the actions of negligent drivers, according to information provided by the NHTSA.
When you or a loved one are hurt in a pedestrian crash, you should work with a lawyer to determine if they are able to help you recover financially and get the justice you deserve in the aftermath of your wreck. Depending on how the accident happened, you may be eligible to collect compensation for damages including:
- Lost wages

- Medical care costs
- Emotional turmoil
- Pain
