SEND INFORMATION Thanks for submitting! Jackson Insurance Bad Faith Claims Litigating Against Bad Faith Insurers in Mississippi Too often, insurance claims get denied, or benefits delay for so long that it amounts to a denial. If the insurance company has denied or delayed your claim, you may have the right to file a claim for bad faith. Under the law, insurance companies are legally obligated to grant you full benefits per your policy or provide adequate reasoning (in writing) why your claim is denied. In either case, they're legally obligated to investigate your claim as quickly as possible. Play Video Facebook Twitter Pinterest Tumblr Copy Link Link Copied Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC has prosecuted claims against insurance companies that have wrongfully delayed or denied death benefits, private disability benefits, benefits under ERISA plans, workers’ compensation benefits , fire loss claims, property damage claims, uninsured motorist benefits, and personal injury claims. We have pursued actions for compensatory and punitive damages in Mississippi state and federal courts, and we have successfully represented clients whose claims were wrongfully denied. Signs of Insurance Bad Faith Some of the red flags you should watch out for are obvious: if your insurer is offering you far less than you need to recover, refuses to offer the benefits promised in your policy, or refuses to investigate your claim within a few weeks, then you might be facing a wrongful delay of your case. However, there are less obvious signs as well—such as when an insurer puts new agents on your claim on a frequent basis, requires you to file the same paperwork over and over again, or requires new or different evidence every few weeks. We pursue damages against: Insurance companies Agents Third party administrators Service companies Speak with us if you're being mistreated by any organization or entity that has wrongfully denied you benefits, suspended benefits, or failed to adequately investigate claims and utilized their superior bargaining position to force inadequate settlements.

Get a free consultation today over the phone or in person. Call (601) 355-5200 to learn your legal options. Who Is Most at Risk in a Pedestrian Accident? In most cases, the victims are children and the elderly, as they're most likely to be struck by cars; the CDC reports that 1 in 5 pedestrian fatalities happen to people 65 years or older, and an even larger share were between 5 and 15 years old. Pedestrians who walk to work or walk in high-traffic areas were also at higher risk of being struck by a vehicle. Perhaps the most common pedestrian accident cause, however, is alcohol. Drunk driving plays a role in nearly half of all traffic crashes, according to the CDC. Prosecuting drunk drivers is one way to ensure certain drivers never put pedestrians at risk ever again. The rise of smartphones and large screen displays have also led to more pedestrian deaths due to distraction. Common tips for pedestrians to ensure visibility include: Bright or reflective clothing Carrying a flashlight Only using crosswalks Adhering to signs and signals Staying on the sidewalk when possible Failure to do these things does not disqualify you from seeking compensation. Ultimately, pedestrians have right-of-way, and motorists are obligated to avoid hitting pedestrians in all contexts and at all times. Let our firm investigate what happened to you.

There are over 3,000 civilian fatalities caused by fire every year, either in residences or in the workplace. However, the cause of burn injuries in industrial settings is not exclusive to open flame. Burn injuries fall into four categories: Thermal burns (includes fires and contact with heated items) Chemical burns Flash burns (includes explosions) Inhalation burns (includes lung damage due to smoke or chemical vapor) Regardless of the kind of burn you've received, there's a steep cost to treat a serious burn injury. Specialists, around-the-clock monitoring, and multiple corrective surgeries are typical for full-thickness burns (aka third-degree burns). Some burn injuries can incur more than $1 million in hospital bills; burns are permanent losses in more ways than one.
