Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly should I contact a lawyer after a plant or refinery accident?

It is important to speak with a Mississippi plant accident lawyer as soon as possible after an incident. Early legal involvement helps safeguard your rights, preserve key evidence, and prevent employers or insurers from controlling the direction of your case. We can take immediate action to gather documents, witness statements, and physical evidence that might otherwise be lost within days. The sooner you contact us, the better we can advocate for your full recovery.

Can you help if my employer’s insurer is already calling me?

Yes, once you contact us, we step in and handle communications with the insurer directly. Our team deals with insurance companies, so you do not have to manage their calls or pressure tactics. Insurance adjusters may try to settle your claim early or ask for statements that can impact your rights. We work to shield you from these common tactics and ensure your interests remain protected throughout the process.

How do I pay for legal help if I’m out of work?

You will never pay a fee up front for our representation. We handle plant, refinery, and industrial accident cases on a contingency fee. This means we cover all costs needed for your case and receive payment only if you recover compensation, so your financial worries do not prevent you from seeking justice and accountability.

Plant & Refinery Injury Claims: What You Need to Know

Claims filed with specific circuit courts in Madison, Hinds, or neighboring counties
Strict deadlines that apply under Mississippi law for reporting injuries and starting legal action
Insurance company involvement early in the process

Each of these steps can make the process more complex, but they also provide opportunities to protect your best interests if you act quickly.
