Q: Can you tell me what is the maximum amount of restitution in Mississippi.
A:
This is really something you should discuss with a Mississippi attorney, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, you'd be entitled to economic and non-economic losses. Economic losses would cover you for damages on which you could place a dollar figure, such as lost wages, medical expenses, home assistance, property damage, etc. Non-economic losses would be elements of damages would cover pain and suffering and related elements.
Your question seems to be related to personal injury, as that is the category in which it is posted. But you use the word "restitution." People sometimes use the terms restitution, compensation, reimbursement loosely, but it's understood what they mean. However, the term restitution arises in criminal matters in connection with compensating victims of crime. If your matter involves elements of obtaining restitution for a crime as a victim, a criminal attorney could advise in that area, if applicable here.
Good luck,
