Slip and fall lawyer Mississippi: your deadline

The first thing a Mississippi slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have three years from the day you fell to file, under Miss. Code § 15-1-49.

Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.

How Mississippi splits the blame

Mississippi uses pure comparative fault. Your share of the blame lowers the award but never wipes it out. The rule is in Miss. Code § 11-7-15.

Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.

Public property in Mississippi

Claims against a city, county or the state here follow their own rules and paperwork. Call the same week you fall so nothing is missed.

What your Mississippi case is worth

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.

Answer four quick questions; the Mississippi rule is already set.

How this number is built

Bills plus lost pay, plus an assumed pain allowance of one and a half to five times the bills by injury. Then the state's fault rule. Mississippi cuts the award by your share of fault but never to zero. Policy limits, liens and future care are left out.

How Mississippi fall lawyers charge

Fall lawyers in Mississippi work on contingency. They take a share only if they recover money for you, and nothing if they do not.
