SEND INFORMATION Thanks for submitting! Jackson Spine Injury Attorneys We've Recovered Millions for Our Clients Motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, slip and falls —all of these have one injury in common: spinal cord damage. Spinal cord damage leads to partial or total paralysis in our arms, legs, or our entire bodies, robbing us of our ability to work or enjoy our lives the same way ever again. On top of that, spine injuries cost millions of dollars over the course of a patient’s life, from initial hospitalization to rehab to home accommodations. At Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC, our Jackson spinal injury lawyers advocate for people who’ve suffered loss of mobility due to negligence. We fight to recover what they need most: money for medical bills, lost wages, and future costs. Our team has nearly a century of combined experience, and as a result, we’re the firm judges and other attorneys turn to when they need an injury advocate. It all starts with a free consultation. Get a same-day free consultation: call (601) 355-5200 to learn your options. The Cost of Spinal Cord Injuries About a third of all spinal cord injuries are either complete paraplegia or complete tetraplegia. The average cost of care for complete paraplegia—the most 'affordable' of the two—is over half a million dollars for the first year, and about $75,000 for every year after that. When people lose the use of their legs, it's physically and financially devastating. Most families don't have enough money to pay for an entire salary's worth of care every year, much less half a million in bills upfront. That's why it's vital for families to call us as soon as possible after an accident. Get Started On Your Case Today Unlike other firms, your case will be handled directly by your attorney. Our firm's philosophy is that when you hire an attorney, you deserve to hear from them directly about your case at all times.

SEND INFORMATION Thanks for submitting! Jackson Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Millions Won by Motorcycle Crash Lawyers in Jackson, MS Motorcycle riders deserve the same regard and vigilance afforded to four-wheeled motorists. The same qualities that make riding so attractive are the same reasons that riders deserve to share the highway: riders are afforded little protection outside of their helmet, making any kind of collision potentially fatal for motorcyclists. In fact, the NHTSA estimates that for every 100,000 registered motorcycles, over 50 will be in a fatal crash. With 8.3 million motorcycles registered in the US, that's thousands of lives at risk. When people are hurt in a crash, they call the Jackson motorcycle accident lawyers at Funderburg, Sessums & Peterson, PLLC. Our team has 90+ years of collective experience handling motorcycle injury claims, ensuring that riders get what they need to pay for medical bills, make up for lost wages, and get back on their feet. Our clients and client referrals include judges, attorneys, doctors, and other professionals because everyone who has worked with us knows we're the premier plaintiff advocacy firm in Mississippi. With millions in recoveries under our belts, you can rely on us to fight for what you need. Call (601) 355-5200 or contact us online today for a free consultation to learn your legal options. What Is the Leading Cause of Motorcycle Accidents? While it's common to point to motorcycle design as the 'reason' for crashes and fatalities, but the fact is, motorcycles don't crash on their own. It is driver behavior that causes most crashes and rider fatalities. Part of the problem is lack of vigilance—drivers train themselves to look for other cars or trucks, but they don't actively look for motorcyclists. This renders many drivers blind to riders, even when riders are traveling at relatively low speeds. Unsafe or unsignaled lane changes, in particular, are a terrible hazard. However, there are other problems besides driver behavior, like poor road condition or defective equipment. All of these could lead to catastrophic or fatal consequences. What Are the Most Common Motorcycle Accident Injuries? Because motorcycles offer no structural protection to riders, a motorcycle collision with a car or truck can leave the rider with debilitating and life-changing injuries , if they survive at all. Unfortunately, the NHTSA reports that motorcyclists are about 28 times more likely than people in passenger vehicles to die in a traffic accident. Motorcycl e accidents commonly result in: Skull fractures Nervous system damage Amputations Internal bleeding Lost or damaged teeth Broken bones Severe road rash Paralysis Spinal cord injuries Brain injuries The Consequences of Motorcycle Accident Injuries Many of these injuries may require extensive medical care and rehabilitation. The most severe injuries can leave the victim paralyzed or dependent upon around-the-clock care. While the monetary costs of these losses can be astronomical, they still pale in comparison to the magnitude of suffering the victim will have to endure throughout their recovery and into the future. That is why our personal injury law firm aggressively advocates for motorcycle accident victims; after losing so much, our clients deserve every penny of compensation to pay for their ongoing care, make up for the wages they may no longer be able to earn, and more. What Is Your Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth? Every case is different, so there is no universal answer to this question. The value of your claim will depend on the circumstances and details of your accident, including: The severity of your injuries Your medical bills and prognosis Liability percentages And other factors To get a better idea of what you might be able to expect from an injury claim, contact our firm today to schedule a case evaluation with an experienced Jackson motorcycle accident lawyer. We have successfully recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients. Whatever the cause of your crash, speak with us as soon as possible so we can investigate what happened and what your legal recovery options might be.
