Jackson, MS

Truck Accident Attorney

Truck accidents can be life-changing. I’ve seen firsthand how collisions with large commercial trucks can leave people seriously injured, facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma. Based in Jackson, Hinds County, I represent clients across Mississippi, guiding them through every step of the legal process to protect their rights and fight for full compensation.

Why Truck Accidents Are Different

Truck accidents are often more severe than car accidents due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. In Jackson and across Mississippi, common causes include driver fatigue, distracted driving, speeding, improper loading, and mechanical failures. These accidents often involve multiple parties—the truck driver, trucking company, insurers, and sometimes maintenance providers—making the claims process more complex than typical car accidents.

I use my experience to identify all responsible parties and hold them accountable, ensuring that my clients are not shortchanged when it comes to compensation.

Common Injuries from Truck Accidents

Because of the force involved, truck accidents can result in severe injuries, including:

• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Broken bones and fractures
• Internal injuries and organ damage
• Whiplash and soft tissue injuries

Even injuries that appear minor initially can have long-term effects. That’s why seeking immediate medical attention is critical for both your health and your case.

Steps to Take After a Truck Accident in Jackson, MS

If you’ve been involved in a truck accident, I recommend these steps:

1. Seek medical care immediately – Your health is the priority, and medical documentation is crucial for your claim.
2. Document the scene – Take photos, collect witness information, and exchange details with the driver and trucking company.
3. Report to law enforcement – A police report can provide vital evidence for your case.
4. Contact me before talking to insurance – Insurance companies may try to settle quickly for less than you deserve. I protect you from mistakes that could harm your claim.
