Are you injured? Are your injuries the result of another party’s negligence? Do you want to file an injury claim? When you are injured because someone was careless or negligent, you can recover compensation, but you need to know how to file a personal injury claim in Mississippi.
If someone else’s negligence hurt you, there are a few things you need to do if you want to have a successful case and get a fair settlement. For most personal injury claims, the first stage in the process is sending a demand letter to the defendant and their insurer to notify them of your demands. Demand letters detail your injuries, the compensation you are entitled to for your injuries and other losses and outlines what actions the defendant took to cause your injuries.
After you send your demand letter, the only thing you can do is wait for a response. Once you get this response, you can decide what steps to take next. You can choose to:
Accept a settlement if the offer is enough to cover your economic and emotional damages fully. A settlement means you can pay your bills and move on from your accident.
Enter negotiations with defendants and insurance adjusters to reach a settlement. Settlement negotiations take skill but often result in generous settlements if you have legal help.
Take your claim to civil court and let a judge or jury decide on the amount of your settlement. This route will take longer to resolve your claim, but it will result in a fair settlement.
