Accident and Personal Injury Lawyer for Mississippi’s People
According to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, the overall traffic fatality rate for Mississippi drivers has been steadily decreasing since 1990. Despite this, every year, since 1993, there have been over 18,000 crashes that have resulted in injuries. These accidents occur for a variety of reasons. Sadly, most accidents occur because of one driver’s careless or reckless actions. For instance, drinking and driving is one major cause of car accidents every year. Over 7,500 drivers are arrested in Mississippi for driving while under the influence. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, many of these drivers are repeat offenders. In 2009, 700 fatalities occurred because someone chose to drink and drive. Yet, drinking and driving isn’t the only cause of accidents in Mississippi. Cell phone use, driver distraction, fatigue, speeding, failure to follow traffic laws, and road rage are other causes of car and truck accidents every year. If you or a loved one has been a victim of someone else’s negligence, an accident lawyer can help you recover money from responsible parties. Victims of car and truck accidents sometimes face long rehabilitation periods, burdensome medical bills, and may even have to take time off from work to recover from their injuries. Stevens Law Group is a personal injury law firm that helps victims of both car accidents and truck accidents recover from these financial losses through litigation or out-of-court settlements. Our firm prides itself on providing an honest assessment of your case and pursuing your case using the most effective means possible—either inside court, or through the settlement process. Honesty pays.
Camp Lejeune Toxic Water Lawsuit
Have you or a family member lived, worked, or were stationed at Camp Lejeune and experienced a water toxicity-related injury at Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River for at least 30 cumulative days from August 1953 through December 1987? If so, you may have been exposed to highly toxic chemicals in the camp’s water supply.
Truck Accidents in Mississippi: Don’t Suffer Alone
State and Federal laws place strict restrictions on commercial vehicles in Mississippi. Truck drivers are required to observe special Federal regulations (called the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations or FMCSR) regarding hours of service, weights carried, maintenance, and medical restrictions.
Sadly, there have been many reports of drivers falsifying logbooks and companies placing unreasonable pressure on drivers to deliver goods on time. Drivers sometimes take prescription and non-prescription medicine to meet the demands of their jobs, not knowing that this very medicine can interfere with their very ability to drive. If you’ve been a victim of a truck accident in Mississippi, you need an aggressive personal injury lawyer helping you seek damages from companies, insurers, and drivers. Stevens Law Group believes in pursuing each case to fullest extent, from thoroughly prepared settlements to the Supreme Court, if necessary. Large truck companies have the resources to protect their interests and their adjusters or experts are sometimes AT THE SCENE of the wreck. You do not want to let them get ahead of you. Victims of truck accidents need a firm like Stevens Law Group fighting for their rights. The sooner, the better.
