Our truck accident lawyers have more than 90 years of collective experience. What Are the Most Common Truck Accidents? Being among the largest vehicles on the road, 18-wheelers can be incredible dangerous to operate – and to drive alongside. It’s for this reason that trucking companies must be held responsible for ensuring their drivers are properly trained and the vehicles are regularly maintained. The 7 most common types of truck accidents in Jackson are: Jackknife accidents T-bone accidents Truck rollovers Sideswipe accidents Rear-end collisions Head-on collisions Wide turn accidents How Common Are Truck Accidents? Did you know? According to the FMCSA , although commercial trucks make up less than 5% of all registered vehicles in the US, more than 13% of fatal crashes in 2020 involved a commercial vehicle. More than 7 of 10 individuals killed in truck accidents were the occupants of “other vehicles,” that is, not in the big rig. But it’s not just the pass engers or drivers of other vehicles that are in danger. In fact, according to the CDC , crashes are the leading cause of death on the job among truckers in the United States.

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.

Products liability is a relatively broad term for claims filed due to injuries caused by products. Although the injuries can vary widely, the reason that a product caused them can often be narrowed down into three different categories. The three common categories that products liability claims fall into are: Defective manufacture Defective design Failure to warn Product Liability vs. Strict Liability Although both products liability and strict liability cases have to do with injuries caused by a product, there are distinct differences between the ways that the cases are tried. More specifically, the burden of proof required for each of these cases is different. Products liability claims require you to prove that your injuries were caused by a defect, another party’s carelessness, or negligence. Strict liability claims, on the other hand, require distinct proof that you used the product as intended.

Common Types of Wrongful Death Claims Do you have grounds for a wrongful death claim? Many survivors may not realize just how many types of accidents can be considered valid grounds for a lawsuit. The most common types of wrongful death claims include: Workplace accidents Car accidents (or truck accidents ) Bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents Premises liability accidents Medical malpractice Accidental poisoning Drowning How Do You Prove Wrongful Death? In Mississippi, a wrongful death lawsuit can be filed in any situation where the deceased person could have filed a personal injury lawsuit if they had survived the incident. Not all survivors are eligible to submit a wrongful death lawsuit, however. The burden of proof required for this type of lawsuit is extensive but, since wrongful death is a civil action rather than a criminal case, the burden of proof is lower and guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is not required. The four elements of the burden of proof in wrongful death claims are: Negligence Breach of duty Causation Damages Wrongful Death Compensation There are several categories of damages that may be included in compensation for wrongful death. No matter the category, when survivors receive a monetary settlement for wrongful death in Mississippi, they will not have to pay state or federal taxes on the amount. There are, however, limits to some of these damages. State law demands that non-economic damages be limited to $1,000,000, while in the case of medical malpractice, the amount is capped further at $500,000. The damages that survivors may win in a successful wrongful death lawsuit include: Medical expenses related to the final illness or injury Funeral expenses Burial expenses Survivors’ loss of companionship Lost wages and benefits Contact Our Jackson Wrongful Death Attorneys Have you lost a loved one?

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.
