Two rules matter more than almost anything else in a Mississippi injury case.
Three years is generous compared to neighboring states, but evidence does not wait. Surveillance and dashcam footage is routinely overwritten within days or weeks, electronic control module data on a commercial truck can be lost when the vehicle is repaired or sold, and witness memory fades. The strongest claims are usually the ones investigated early.
I-55 and I-269 through DeSoto County carry a heavy mix of commuter and freight traffic into the Memphis metro, and US-49 and I-10 along the Gulf Coast see frequent serious collisions.
Areas served: Jackson · Gulfport · Southaven · Hattiesburg · Biloxi · Olive Branch · Meridian · Tupelo and communities throughout Mississippi.
Evidence disappears long before the filing deadline does — surveillance video is overwritten, truck data is lost when a vehicle is repaired, and witnesses move away. A free review costs nothing and takes about a minute.

These results were not necessarily obtained in Mississippi and are not representative of typical outcomes. Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case. Every case is different and results depend on liability, the severity and documentation of injuries, available insurance coverage, applicable state law and other factors. Amounts shown are gross recoveries before attorney fees, litigation costs, medical bills and liens. Most claims resolve for substantially less, and some result in no recovery at all.
The general rule is 3 years (Miss. Code Ann. § 15-1-49). That is a starting point, not an answer — different deadlines apply to claims against government entities, wrongful death actions, claims involving minors, and certain insurance claims. Confirm your specific deadline with a licensed Mississippi attorney rather than relying on a website.
Mississippi is one of a minority of states using pure comparative fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of responsibility, but it is not eliminated unless you are entirely at fault. Being partly to blame is rarely a reason not to ask.
How fault gets apportioned in your case depends on the evidence, and it is one of the main things insurers fight about.
Nothing for the review. Attorneys in our network typically work on a contingency fee, meaning the fee comes out of a recovery and there is no attorney fee if there is no recovery. You may still owe case costs and expenses depending on the firm's agreement. Fee terms are set in a written agreement directly between you and the law firm — not with Injury Connect USA.
No. We are a paid attorney advertising and case-matching service. We are not a law firm, we are not a lawyer referral service approved or licensed by any state bar, we do not provide legal advice, and we do not evaluate the merits of any claim. Submitting the form does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not preserve any legal deadline.
No. Participating firms decide independently whether to accept a matter, and many inquiries are declined. If your filing deadline is close, contact a licensed Mississippi attorney directly and immediately rather than waiting for a response to this form.
Deadlines and fault rules change at the state line.
