Passenger Vehicle Accidents Can Cause Serious Personal Injuries for Victims
Our legal team serving Harrison County understands what causes passenger vehicle accidents and has seen the injuries our clients have had to endure from them. A motor vehicle accident can cause significant personal injuries, such as:
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Limb amputations
- Lacerations and contusions
- Internal injuries
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue injuries
- Permanent injuries
All injuries could require medical attention and could lead to lost wages at work. Vehicle repairs, car rental, and other expenses will also add up quickly. Under Mississippi law, the negligent motorist who causes a traffic accident is legally responsible for that collision and the losses experienced by those involved.
At the Morris Bart law firm in Gulfport, we work with accident victims to understand their rights and options for seeking compensation for their related expenses. Contact our office today to learn if you are eligible to take legal action.

Time Is Limited to Take Legal Action Against the At-Fault Driver
Mississippi law sets a statute of limitations on how long you can wait to file a lawsuit after a traffic accident. Under Mississippi Code Annotated §15-1-49, we usually only have three years to begin the legal process of challenging the at-fault driver in court. If necessary, we will name that driver as the defendant in a personal injury lawsuit in Harrison County court or another appropriate jurisdiction.
If we miss the deadline that applies in your case, you will likely lose the right to take the case to court. This could result in a settlement that does not compensate you for your losses or no compensation at all. We must follow the timeline established by Mississippi law if we need to escalate your case to civil court.
