Mississippi Car Wrecks
Car wrecks have become a common occurrence in the United States. They happen more than 17,000 times per day. Each year, over six million vehicle crashes occur in the U.S., which causes injuries to between three and four million individuals.
In point of fact, during one recent year, approximately 4.4 million people were injured seriously enough to spend time recovering in the hospital. Over 100,000 auto crashes are reported in the state of Mississippi every year that injure more than 50,000. Sadly, more than 1,000 people are killed in these wrecks per year.
A severe auto crash can totally change your life. In the time immediately following a severe auto wreck, depending on the nature of the crash, an auto accident attorney could greatly benefit you. You may be stuck paying outstanding bills that stem from medical care, vehicle repairs, and more.

A severe auto accident injury may resemble the following:

Sadly, most auto accidents in the United States are caused by the actions of negligent drivers. Negligent driving is any activity diverting your attention from the roadway. Looking at your cell phone, talking to people in the car, and driving while intoxicated, overly tired, or at unsafe speeds are all dangerous examples of negligent driving. These types of driver negligence cause millions of car accidents every year in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of these wrecks happen in the state of Mississippi.
