Why You Need a Mississippi Car Accident Attorney

After a car accident, insurance companies move quickly to protect their bottom line—not your well-being. Adjusters may contact you early, push for recorded statements, and offer fast settlements that fail to cover the full extent of your losses. Having an experienced Mississippi car accident lawyer on your side makes all the difference. At T. Mark Sledge, Attorney at Law, we handle every part of your claim so you can focus on healing.

Our work includes:

Conducting thorough accident investigations
Preserving critical evidence (dashcam footage, black box data, witness statements)
Working with accident reconstruction experts
Dealing directly with insurance companies and other interested parties
Calculating full and fair damages for current and future losses
Negotiating for fair compensation
Taking your case to trial, if needed, to secure the recovery you deserve

We know the tactics insurers use—and we know how to fight back.

Car Accidents in Ridgeland

A Growing Concern

Ridgeland sits at the heart of the Jackson Metropolitan area, with major roadways like I-55, County Line Road, and Highway 51 running through the city. These heavily traveled routes see thousands of vehicles each day. With that traffic comes real risk.

According to the Mississippi Office of Highway Safety, in 2022 alone, there were 3,334 serious injury collisions and 703 traffic fatalities statewide, with Hinds, Madison, and Rankin counties consistently ranking among Mississippi’s highest for traffic collisions. In Madison County—where Ridgeland is located—car accidents remain one of the leading causes of serious injury.

These crashes are not limited to high-speed interstates. Many car accidents happen on city streets, in residential neighborhoods, and at busy intersections.

Ridgeland area car accidents often involve:

Distracted drivers
Speeding or reckless driving
Failure to yield
Driving under the influence
Dangerous weather conditions
Commercial trucks and delivery vehicles

The truth of the matter is, no matter what you do or how defensively you drive, another person’s negligence or wrongdoing can lead to a life-changing crash. Our job as a Mississippi personal injury firm is to investigate every detail, hold negligent drivers accountable, and fight for the financial recovery you need.

Common Injuries in Serious Car Accidents

Even crashes that seem minor at first can lead to long-term complications. With adrenaline spiking, injuries like whiplash might not be immediately apparent. This is one of many reasons to seek medical attention as quickly as possible after a car accident in Mississippi, as a licensed medical professional will know what type of injuries to look for. It’s also critical to establish medical records early on.

Some of the most common car accident injuries we see include:

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
Broken bones and fractures
Internal organ damage
Whiplash and neck injuries
Severe burns or lacerations
Emotional trauma and PTSD

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, long-term rehabilitation, and permanent lifestyle changes, making it absolutely critical to secure a fair recovery. If we take on your car accident claim, we’ll work with medical experts and financial professionals to fully document your injuries and calculate the true cost of your recovery.

What Can You Recover After a Car Accident?

Mississippi law allows car accident victims to pursue compensation for both financial and non-financial losses. This may include medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability or disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, and property damage.

Our goal is simple: secure the full compensation you deserve — not what the insurance company wants to pay.
