Car Accidents in DeSoto County

Car accidents are more common than truck accidents and also drastically affect families in Desoto County. Almost every day you either witness the wreckage of a car accident on the side of the road, or pull over to allow an ambulance to hurriedly pass to go to the scene of an accident.

Similar to truck accidents, car accidents can be caused by drunk and drowsy driving, hazardous weather, and inadequate training. However, the most common situation that we see in our office is injuries resulting from distracted driving.

Distracted driving was responsible for almost 26 percent of car accidents in 2011, according to distraction.gov. Distracted driving isn’t just texting and driving; it is talking on the phone, changing your music, looking at your GPS/map, grooming, eating, and drinking. For many drivers, it can be hard to focus on the road—our minds are now wired to only stay focused for a minute before moving onto other things.

Yet those seconds of time can lead to a serious accident, which can further leave you unable to work, struggling to pay medical bills (on top of regular bills), and frightened for your children to drive the streets of your own hometown.

If you have been injured in a car accident in DeSoto County, Stroud, Flechas & Dalton empathizes with your pain. We have handled many car accidents within Hernando, Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Nesbit, Tunica, and Southaven neighborhoods that have left many families struggling.
