Gulfport’s streets and highways are crowded and busy, making car crashes an inevitable fact of life in the city. There are hundreds of injury accidents in Mississippi every day, and Gulf Coast area car accidents make up nearly a third (1/3) of all injury accidents in the state. Distracted driving endangers drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. Three quarters (3/4) of all Mississippi drivers reported that talk on a cell phone daily while driving, and one third (1/3) admit they text while driving. Of those calls and texts, a whopping 39% are work related.

CAR ACCIDENTS CAN BE CAUSED BY ANY NUMBER OF NEGLIGENT ACTS. SOME OF THE MOST COMMON INCLUDE:

  • Distracted Driving – Think texting and playing on a cell phone while driving!
    It’s incredibly dangerous!
  • Drunk Driving – driving while intoxicated is negligent. If you have been hurt by a
    drunk driver call today.
  • Driving too fast for conditions – sometimes people just plain drive too fast or
    too reckless for the road conditions. This can be the basis of your case.
  • Failure to scan the roadway ahead – often times people forget to see what’s going
    on ahead of them on the road leading to the dreaded rear ender! If you’ve been
    rear ended, don’t delay, call today!
  • Vehicle vs. Pedestrian – sometimes vehicles hit people that are sharing the road.
    We can make a strong case for driver negligence if you’ve been hit by a car!
