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.
