What Is Personal Injury?

What Constitutes a Defective Product in Mississippi?
A product is considered defective if it is unreasonably dangerous when used as intended or in a foreseeable manner, such as due to a design flaw, manufacturing error, or inadequate warnings or instructions. If you were harmed by a dangerous product, we can fight to hold the negligent manufacturer, distributor, or seller accountable in a product liability lawsuit.

Can I Recover Damages in a Personal Injury Claim if I Was Partially at Fault?
Mississippi follows the pure comparative negligence rule, meaning that victims can still recover compensation in a personal injury claim even if they are partially at fault for their injuries. Unlike modified comparative negligence, state law allows plaintiffs to seek compensation as long as their share of the fault is 99% or less.
However, the total amount of compensation awarded will be reduced by your percentage of the fault. For example, if you are 40% at fault for an accident totaling $100,000 in damages, you will only receive $60,000 ($40,000 less than the original amount). Having a knowledgeable lawyer by your side is paramount to calculating available damages and maximizing the value of your claim.
