Mississippi Car Crashes
Car accidents have become extremely common in the United States, happening over 17,000 times per day. Every year, our country sees more than 6 million auto collisions that injure between 3 and 4 million people. In one recent year, 4.4 million people sustained injuries in car crashes serious enough to send them to the hospital. Mississippi is no stranger to car crashes, seeing more than 100,000 per year. On average, about 55,000 people sustain injuries in these wrecks annually.
A serious car crash can alter your life in numerous ways. In the difficult time following a serious car accident, you may find that a car accident attorney would be a great help to you. An attorney will help you understand your legal right toward financial compensation in the event that your accident was caused, totally or partially, by a negligent driver. Your right toward compensation is especially important when your injuries have had a negative impact on numerous areas of your life. A severe car crash injury may look like the following:
- Spinal cord injuries

Unfortunately, most of the car crashes that happen in the United States take place due to the actions of negligent drivers. Negligent driving is defined as any activity that takes your attention away from the road. This type of behavior is dangerous and illegal and can cause you and other people to become seriously injured. Driver intoxication, fatigue, distraction, and speeding are some of the most common types of driver negligence in the United States. Being injured in a severe accident can be overwhelming and scary. An attorney can help you get on the fastest track to a successful recovery.
