DeSoto County, Mississippi, Personal Injury Attorneys
When someone you love is seriously injured or dies in DeSoto County, Mississippi, it’s important to have a trusted personal injury attorney in the area to turn to with questions and concerns. When such a terrible accident occurs due to the carelessness or recklessness of another person, anger is a common reaction. This is especially the case when a loved one is killed. In such instances, wrongful death claims are pursued by the family of the deceased party to help compensate them for their enormous loss. Though they will never bring back your loved one, wrongful death suits are meant to provide for the lost financial and emotional support provided by the deceased family member.
The attorneys at Stroud, Flechas & Dalton have handled a variety of personal injury and wrongful death cases including car and truck accidents, nursing home abuse cases, recreational accidents, motorcycle collisions, unsafe work condition cases and premises liability actions. If you’ve encountered issues relating to any of the above incidents as well as many others, please contact the attorneys at our firm today.
If you are filing a wrongful death claim it’s important to be aware of the time limitations that can constrain your rights. If you fail to take action in a timely manner, you may permanently close the door to any future civil claims, allowing the responsible party to go free. Exactly what that timeline is depends entirely on the nature of the injuries you’ve suffered. To discuss exactly what restrictions relate to your personal injury, contact one of our experienced attorneys who deal with DeSoto County, MS statutes of limitation on a daily basis.
If you haven’t yet been involved in a serious claim, there are some important tips to keep in mind should something unfortunate happen in the future. First things first, get the names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses to the accident. If you’re able to, take pictures of the scene of the accident along with any injuries you’ve sustained. It’s really true what they say about pictures telling a thousand words and having a picture of the injuries you suffered makes it that much harder for the guilty party (or their insurer) to deny the extent of your injuries.
It’s also important to keep the circle of people that know about your personal injury case small. Feel free to confide in your physician as well as your DeSoto County personal injury attorney, but few others. The more people who know about what happened, the more people the insurer could get to testify about what they know of the accident. It’s critical to talk to an experienced attorney before speaking to any insurance company officials or representatives. They are professionals and handle cases like yours for a living. They also have a specific objective in mind: settling your case for as little money as possible. Do not engage in any conversations with them without first consulting an attorney who has your best interest at heart.
