Personal Injury Q&A
from understanding your rights to knowing what steps to take after an accident
-
Your first priority is your health. Seek medical attention immediately, even if you think your injuries are minor. Once you’re stable, contact an experienced Ridgeland personal injury attorney. The sooner we get involved, the faster we can preserve critical evidence, speak to Mississippi, and deal with the insurance companies on your behalf. Never give recorded statements or sign anything from an insurance adjuster without legal advice.
-
If you think you might need a personal injury attorney in Mississippi, you're probably right. Insurance companies are not on your side—their goal is to minimize payouts. When you hire T. Mark Sledge, Attorney at Law, you level the playing field. We handle every part of your claim, from evidence gathering and negotiations to trial if necessary. Our job is to maximize your recovery and protect your rights while you focus on healing.
-
Every case is different. Your compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more. We conduct a thorough investigation to calculate the full value of your claim. Our goal is always to recover the maximum compensation allowed under the law.
-
You don’t owe us anything upfront. At T. Mark Sledge, Attorney at Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. We also advance case costs, so there’s no financial risk to you.
-
In Mississippi, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years from the date of injury. However, certain cases may have shorter or longer deadlines. That’s why it’s critical to contact a Mississippi personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
-
Many personal injury cases settle before trial, but we prepare every case as if it will go to court. Insurance companies know that we’re ready and willing to try cases—and that often leads to better settlement offers. If trial becomes necessary, we have the experience and resources to fight for you in the courtroom.
