You may experience physical and psychological trauma, as well as steep medical bills, after an accident. The one silver lining in this situation is that you may not need to pay for these sudden expenses yourself.

Learn what type of damages you may recover after a car accident.

Holding the At-Fault Driver Accountable

Mississippi is an “at-fault” insurance state, which means the liable driver (and their insurance company) will pay for your medical bills and property damage after an accident.

Gathering the following evidence after a car accident helps protect these rights:

  • A copy of the police report

  • The other driver’s contact, insurance, and vehicle information

  • Any witnesses’ contact information

  • Copies of your medical treatment

  • Photos of injuries and property damage sustained at the scene

  • Footage from nearby traffic or security cameras

Damages You Can Recover After a Car Accident
