How fault works

Pure comparative negligence — recover even if 99% at fault (reduced by your share)

In Mississippi, you generally have 3 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, and wrongful death claims also carry a 3-year deadline. This window is called the statute of limitations, and once it passes a court can permanently refuse to hear your case. Because evidence fades and the deadline is firm, it helps to speak with an attorney well before those 3 years run out.
Mississippi uses a pure comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly to blame for the accident, right up to 99% at fault. Your recovery is simply reduced by your own percentage of fault, so being found 20% responsible would lower an award by 20% rather than erasing it. This matters because insurers often try to shift blame onto you, and an attorney can push back to protect the value of your claim.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still recover money if the accident was partly my fault in Mississippi?

Yes. Mississippi follows pure comparative negligence, so you can recover even if you were up to 99% at fault, with your compensation reduced by your share of the blame. For example, if you were found 30% at fault, you could still recover 70% of your damages. An independent Mississippi attorney can help document the facts and argue for the lowest fault percentage possible on your side.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Mississippi?

In most Mississippi personal injury cases you have 3 years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit, and wrongful death claims generally follow the same 3-year deadline. If you miss this statute of limitations, a court can bar your case entirely, no matter how strong it is. Connecting with an attorney early leaves time to gather evidence and meet every deadline.

Does Mississippi have no-fault car insurance or required PIP coverage?

No. Mississippi is an at-fault (tort) state and does not require no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. That means the driver who caused the crash, along with their insurer, is generally responsible for the resulting injuries and damages. A local attorney can help identify which insurance policies may apply to your claim.

What does it cost to get connected with a Mississippi attorney through FaultFreeClaims?

Getting matched is free. FaultFreeClaims connects you at no cost with an independent, licensed attorney in Mississippi.
