Read below to learn more about my practice areas:
Car Accidents
Drunk and distracted drivers pose threats to the well-being of everyone
on the road. Being involved in a car accident caused by the negligence
of another driver can be upsetting, confusing, and costly. You may be
unsure about the steps you need to take following a car accident, so you
should consult my firm to discuss how to take action to pursue the possibility
of recovering compensation through a personal injury claim.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are among the most deadly and devastating types of motor
vehicle accidents. A collision with an 18-wheeler semi-truck that weighs
more than 40 tons has the potential to inflict serious injury or even
death. Although truck accidents are usually viewed as dangerous because
of the sheer size and weight of the truck, the irresponsible and negligent
driver who operated the truck should be held responsible for his or her
negligent behavior.
Wrongful Death
If your loved one has been killed because of the negligent actions of
another party, you can file a wrongful death claim with my help. Wrongful
death can happen in a number of circumstances, including auto accidents,
truck accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability situations, slip
and fall accidents, or even job-related accidents. You should take immediate
action to ensure that you can file your wrongful death claim on time.
Workers' Compensation
If you have been injured on the job, diagnosed with an occupational illness,
or a loved one has been killed on the job, employers must pay workers'
compensation benefits. If you are injured at work, you have the right
to pick your own doctor. Do not agree to go to the doctor that your employer
or the workers' compensation insurance company suggests. Additionally,
you are entitled to have all medical and hospital costs paid, as well
as to temporary benefits for lost wages. You may also be entitled to receive
permanent benefits. Getting money to cover all of these damages can be
difficult when dealing with the workers' compensation insurance company,
so it is advisable to retain my firm to help you get the money you deserve.
Dangerous Highways
Negligent driver behavior, such as speeding, drunk driving, or distracted
driving, poses potential threats to anyone on the road. Other times, there
are external factors that most drivers cannot control or prepare themselves
for, such as substandard roadways. A combination of negligent driving
along with poorly lit roads, poorly maintained highways, or dangerous
weather conditions can create devastating results. If you have been injured
in a dangerous highway accident, contact my firm.
Child Injury Cases
Anytime that a child is injured as a result of the negligent act of another
person, whether it be in a car accident, playground, negligent day care
center, or premises liability situation, you should retain my firm to
represent you and your child. Property owners are required to protect
those who lawfully visit the land or property from injuries. These property
owners include business owners, homeowners, and municipalities.
Motorcycle Accidents
Like truck accidents, motorcycle accidents have the potential to be extremely
devastating or deadly. Because motorcyclists have minimal protection compared
with passengers in vehicles, many insurance companies consider them to
be high-risk liabilities. As a result, insurance companies fight hard
to resist paying full compensation for any damages incurred in a motorcycle
accident. Do not try to handle a motorcycle accident claim by yourself.
Instead, retain a personal injury lawyer in Mississippi who can utilize
investigators and researchers to reach the best possible result for you
and your damages.
Read-End and Head-On Collisions
Rear-end collisions and head-on collisions are types of car accidents
that can be caused by negligent drivers. These types of serious car crashes
can cause total damage to cars and property and result in life-threatening
or life-changing injuries. Injuries such as whiplash or head and spine
trauma are just a few of the potential catastrophic results. The worst
crashes can end in wrongful death. Determining fault and liability can
be difficult in these types of car wrecks, so they typically require special
knowledge of insurance companies and investigative skills. My firm can
provide this level of representation to fight for your best interests.
Drunk Driver Accidents
Drunk driver accidents can be some of the scariest types of motor vehicle
accidents because they can have catastrophic consequences and could have
been entirely preventable. Reckless and careless driving such as driving
drunk behind the wheel has the potential to be fatal for anyone involved.
If you have been injured in a drunk driver accident or if a loved one
has suffered wrongful death at the hands of a drunk driver, do not hesitate
to retain me as your personal injury attorney. My firm can help you seek
justice for the wrongs that have been committed.
Job-Related Injuries
Every year, many employees are injured or killed while on the job. If
you were injured at work or a loved one was killed because of negligent
or careless practices, you could have grounds to file a workers' compensation
claim. Like other personal injury and wrongful death claims, job-related
accident claims are subject to a statute of limitations, so by acting
quickly, you could secure your right to compensation. It is always wise
to speak with an attorney who can walk you through the process effectively.
Premises Liability
If you are a property owner, you are required by law to maintain a safe
premises or property for tenants and guests. Should the premises become
damaged or pose immediate threat, it is the job of the property owner
to ensure that any dangers are fixed or at least marked. If you were injured
on someone else's property as a result of negligent upkeep or unsafe
grounds, you could have the right to file a claim.
Casino Injury
Were you injured in a casino accident? If so, you could be entitled to
compensation for your injuries. Consulting a personal injury lawyer will
be in your best interests, especially because insurance companies and
the casino will fight hard to prevent paying any sort of compensation
to you. I can investigate the circumstances of your case and fight for
just compensation on your behalf.
Negligent Security
Negligent security on workplace property or housing premises can result
in terrible danger to the safety of tenants and guests. Due to negligent
security, hundreds of people in Mississippi fall victim to violent crimes
such as assault, robbery, rape, or even murder. If negligent security
contributed to your incident, you need legal counsel from my firm immediately.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Slip and fall injuries are among the most common workplace accidents and
general personal injury incidents. Slip and fall accidents also have the
potential to result in serious injuries, including head and spinal cord
trauma. If you have sustained a slip and fall injury as a result of negligent
property maintenance, the property owner may be liable for your injuries.
Inadequate Security
Many people fall victim to robbery or violent crimes due to inadequate
security measures implemented by property owners. Some inadequate security
practices include insufficient lighting, lack of security cameras, insufficient
locks or security systems, and lack of competent security employees. By
law, property owners must ensure that their properties are safe and secure,
so consult my firm to learn whether you are entitled to compensation for
your damages.
Dog Bites
If you have been attacked by a dog, you could be entitled to compensation.
The moment a dog bites someone, if the victim was not trespassing or provoking
the dog, the owner can be held liable. An experienced personal injury
lawyer may be able to seek compensation for your injuries. Consult my
firm about your case.
Train and Railroad Accidents
Train and railroad accidents have the potential to result in horrific
injuries and damages to the people and property involved. Whether you
were a passenger on a train, are an employee of a train company, or were
involved in a train accident in Mississippi, you need a personal injury
attorney to help ensure that you are properly taken care of after the
incident. You may be entitled to compensation, so contact my firm immediately.
Boating Accidents
Boating is a thrilling transportation method that can be used for various
recreational sports and occupations. When one or more parties act in a
negligent manner, however, the results can be devastating. If you or a
loved one has suffered injury on a boat, you may have a case. Consult
my firm to learn whether you may be entitled to compensation.
Bad Faith Insurance
As an insured driver in Mississippi, you pay monthly premiums to ensure
that you are covered in the event of an emergency or accident. Insurance
companies must act in good faith, meaning that they are supposed to deliver
on their promises to pay compensation when you need it. When insurance
companies fail to act according to the contract or policy that has been
agreed upon, they are committing acts of insurance bad faith. If your
compensation has been denied, delayed, or is insufficient, I can help
you obtain proper compensation.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is the legal term for an injury, illness, or wrongful
death resulting from the negligent medical practices of a doctor or healthcare
provider. Like most personal injury claims in Mississippi, medical malpractice
claims against healthcare providers must be filed within a specific period
of time as indicated by Mississippi's statute of limitations. A member
of my firm can help clarify your filing deadlines.
Nursing Home Negligence
You carefully chose to house your dear family member in a nursing home
so as to ensure that your loved one was taken care of with respect in
a clean and well-maintained medical facility. But what happens when your
loved one is abused or neglected in a nursing home? I can provide the
compassionate legal counsel and aggressive investigation necessary for
your case. My firm can fight to protect your loved one's best interests
and pursue compensation for the wrongs they have endured.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites have the potential to be extremely dangerous and hazardous
to any employee or person who is on the job site. If safety regulations
are not being followed, the risk for personal injury on a construction
site increases dramatically. If you were injured at your place of work
on a construction site because of negligent safety standards or poor maintenance
or training, you could be eligible for compensation.
