Being involved in an accident with a driver who lacks adequate insurance can be frustrating and overwhelming. I’ve helped clients in Jackson, Hinds County, and across Mississippi navigate these situations, making sure they aren’t left responsible for medical bills, lost wages, or vehicle repairs. My goal is to protect your rights and fight for full compensation, even when the other driver doesn’t have the coverage you need.
Why Uninsured or Underinsured Accidents Are Complicated
Accidents involving uninsured or underinsured motorists can be tricky because the at-fault driver may not have enough—or any—insurance to cover your damages. In Jackson and across Mississippi, I work closely with clients to explore every legal avenue, including filing claims through your own insurance policy’s uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
These cases require careful review of policies, negotiation with insurance companies, and sometimes litigation to ensure fair compensation.
Common Injuries From Uninsured/Underinsured Accidents
Even if the other driver isn’t insured, your injuries are real and deserve full attention. I frequently handle cases involving:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Whiplash and soft tissue injuries
- Emotional trauma and anxiety
Prompt medical evaluation is essential, both for your health and to document injuries for your claim.
Steps to Take After an Accident
If you’ve been involved in a collision with an uninsured or underinsured driver in Jackson or anywhere in Mississippi, I recommend:
- Seek medical care immediately – Even minor injuries can become serious without proper treatment.
- Document the accident – Take photos, gather witness statements, and collect details of the other driver.
- Report the accident – File a police report to provide official documentation of the incident.
- Contact me before speaking with insurance – Insurance companies may attempt to limit your recovery. I will protect your rights and handle all communications on your behalf.
How I Can Help
I provide personalized representation to make sure you are fully compensated:
- Policy review and claim filing – I analyze your insurance coverage to identify options for recovery.
- Negotiation with insurers – I fight to maximize compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
- Litigation if necessary – If insurers refuse fair settlement, I am prepared to take your case to court.
I represent clients across Mississippi, but my Jackson office allows me to provide hands-on guidance and local expertise, ensuring each case receives the attention it deserves.
