Pedestrian Wrecks in Mississippi
Pedestrian crashes do not occur as commonly as other types of collisions in the Magnolia State, but, when they do occur, they often end in some of the most severe injuries and even cause fatalities. Some of the worst collisions that occur in the state of Mississippi involve pedestrians. Pedestrians are more likely to sustain injuries or lose their lives in accidents than other people who are involved in traffic collisions due to the fact that they travel with no protection against the force of large, fast, heavy vehicles. If you or someone you love has been hurt in a crash of this nature, you have legal options available, and should call a skilled lawyer as soon as you can.
