A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry about your accident. You could reach out to local attorneys to see if they could help you review the matter. But unfortunately, since this happened 14 years ago, that timeline probably closes a lot... View More

Additionally, you are required to prove that the landowner (or the occupier if not the owner) either: 1. caused the condition; or 2. knew or should have know of its... View More
Two days later I had to go back to the ER, but I went to a different location. I then found out I had tendon damage and nerve damage and was referred to my orthopedic doctor. I ended up needing surgery due to the injury. Would it be considered misdiagnosis/malpractice from the first ER visit I went... View More

To pursue a claim for medical negligence you must have an expert witness (an M.D. under the facts you have related) who can provide the opinion that the treatment provided by medical staff at the ER during your initial visit deviated from the standard of care applicable to them.

My mother in law fell at a local grocery store and shattered her knee. She slipped on blood by the meat department. The lawsuit is taking a while. Would we have to go to court for it? It’s been a year and four months since the accident. She’s 74 and can’t work anymore.

This is not an easy answer. HAs suit been filed, has there been discovery. There is no simple answer to how long a claim takes. It depends on the facts, the parties involved and the court in which the case is filed. What you need to do is to have your mother in law call her attorney and make an... View More

You're facing charges because, under the law, your actions after the incident with the dog may have been perceived as taking matters into your own hands rather than following legal channels. Even though the dog attacked your chickens and bit you, the way you pursued the dog and expressed your... View More

I have pictures of the incident if this helps.

The short answer is possibly. In Mississippi, you have to prove damages, how and what are you damages. Did you go to the hospital, do you have some type of injury. While is a horrible event, without damages there is no claim. You need to speak to an attorney who handles such claims to see what... View More

The answer is depends. First, how much are you getting in the settlement and how much do you owe in support. Based on the basic law in Mississippi, the DHS will want to recover as much as possible. If the child support lien can be fully satisfied while you still make any recovery, they will... View More
The policy holder of my insurance has the misguided belief that since the accident happened on private property, that the insurance companies would determine we are both at fault.

You can only sue the state if the state or a state employee did something wrong. Did you get the tag number of the car that hit you? Have you filed an accident report, if so, then possibly the police department will have information on the car that hit you and you can pursue that claim.
Insurance is paid in monthly storage fees. Even though, they are aware of the pests they hold no responsibility in damages

Generally, liability for pest damage would be outlined in your rental agreement. If insurance is part of the storage fee, check the policy's terms to see if it covers this type of damage. If the storage facility knew about the pest problem and failed to address it, they might bear some... View More
Big truck was being pulled out of ditch which had traffic stopped with no warnings
answered on Jul 28, 2023
It is difficult to tell based on these facts alone. There has to be fault, that is, someone did they something they shouldn't or failed to do something they should have.
The insurance company does not want to pay me. Also stating that I owe them money. Is this right? They've sent me a demand letter.

I was not extremely hurt. A few bruises, and a hospital check up. My car was fully totaled. I had a passenger, she was hurt a bit more, but not a significant amount.
answered on May 13, 2023
A Mississippi attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I hope you and your passenger are okay. No attorney can really answer your question based on these limited facts. Your car was totaled. That evidences the possibility of serious impact, or that you were... View More

There is not enough information to state if you do or do not have a claim. Was a report made, also in Mississippi you need to prove how the oil got there, how long it had been there and if the establishment had any knowledge of the area before the fall occurred. You need to contact an attorney... View More
