The more accurate the police report, the more it helps your claim
ALWAYS assess the situation after getting into a car wreck, and if there are any injuries, immediately call 911.
But if there are no seeable injuries (or at least none that require immediate attention) you need to call the police. You might hesitate if the wreck is very minor or if the car has seemingly no damage, but something could still be wrong on the inside. The same goes for your body. You might not think you have an injury, but symptoms could take a while to show up. Plus, even in minor accidents, the other driver could ..read more

Quick Guide to securing key claims after a car crash
Even small car wrecks can be traumatic, disorienting, and painful. You would think an insurance company would go out of its way to make sure you are fully covered and try to make you feel at ease. Unfortunately, insurance companies are typically the opposite: greedy, cheap, and not like a good neighbor. They do this because they are huge businesses trying to earn greater profits every year. You are legally required to have insurance, and they know it.
Because of this, people hire attorney’s to ensure they are getting everything that is ..read more

You’ve filed your claim. You’ve taken photos of the accident. You’ve received treatment from a doctor and documented everything. So why is your insurance taking so long to pay your claim?
It’s easy to think that an insurance company will slowly start paying off your bills and that money will start trickling in. In reality, an insurance company has an adjuster to try and lower your claim as much as possible, and they will typically use one of two strategies:
Quick, LowBall Offer: They know your accident is complicated and could cost them more money than you realize. They also know you have bil ..read more

We are in the business of protecting our clients and ensuring they are accurately represented in any accident or situation. Car crashes are traumatic events; however, and it can be hard to remember what to do in the event of one. That’s why we always say to DOCUMENT everything following a wreck, including the surrounding area.
Although cellphones are critical to any documentation, (see our video here on documentation) there is one piece of evidence that is nearly irrefutable, and that is footage of the wreck itself. This can be provided through dash cams.
Dash Cams can provide definitive proo ..read more

There’s a reason why you want to talk to a lawyer
If you’re ever involved in a car wreck, you might think it’s easy to prove you weren’t at fault. But rarely is a car wreck case black and white. If you are proven even partially liable for a wreck, some of your finances could be at stake.
Extra liability insurance might not be something that you think about when buying insurance, but the more assets you have, the more liability insurance you will want to have. In the state of Mississippi, drivers are required to have at least a 25/50/25 liability coverage. Breaking that down per category, that ..read more

What is negligence, and how does the law see it? Most personal injury lawsuits are based on negligence, so it is critical in understanding your claim or incident. Negligence is essentially not acting, in the eyes of the law, to the standards that are expected of every individual. If you are proven negligent, you will be compensating for the person injured.
For example, although it’s not illegal to use your phone while driving in Mississippi, if you are checking your phone and then get in an accident, this could be seen as an act of negligence. In fact, there are several different ha ..read more

We hear from people every day who have been hurt in car wrecks, and sometimes the wreck report from the officer doesn’t accurately reflect the events. This might not even be the officer’s fault. It could have been pouring down rain or the wreck could have happened in a busy intersection where they were trying to direct traffic as well. Any wreck is startling, and it can be hard for all parties involved to ensure accuracy and detailed reporting immediately after a wreck.
Debating an officer’s report of a wreck can be intimidating, but it is not the law, and there are things you can do if you fe ..read more

If you’ve been following any of our socials or blog posts, then you know that insurance companies are not always your friend. The truth is, they are a business, and they are always looking to maximize their profits year after year. There’s a reason why you see ads for them every Super Bowl and on every other webpage.
Unfortunately for you, this means that they are not going to do their due diligence when it comes to finding and fulfilling everything that your policy entails.
Let’s take Loss of Use insurance. If you have property damage on your car insurance policy, chances are you have Loss of ..read more
