How fault works

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

Large trucks are governed by federal FMCSA safety rules, and a single wreck can involve the driver, the trucking company, and multiple insurers, each motivated to shift blame elsewhere. Mississippi's pure comparative negligence rule works in an injured person's favor here: you can still recover even if you were up to 99% at fault, with your award reduced by your share, unlike Alabama next door where 1% fault ends the claim. Because trucking companies preserve or lose logs, dashcam footage, and maintenance records quickly, and Mississippi generally sets a three-year deadline to bring an injury claim, moving early protects your case. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed Mississippi attorney experienced with commercial trucking cases, because we match, we do not represent.

Frequently asked questions

Who can be responsible after a truck accident in Mississippi?

Depending on the facts, the truck driver, the trucking company, a maintenance provider, and others may share responsibility. Under Mississippi's pure comparative negligence rule, fault can be divided among everyone involved, and each party's share affects the outcome. An independent attorney we connect you with can identify who may be responsible.

Why do truck accident claims need to move quickly in Mississippi?

Trucking companies control key evidence like driver logs and electronic data that can disappear, and Mississippi generally gives you three years to bring an injury claim. Connecting early with an independent attorney helps preserve that evidence before it is lost.

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

In Mississippi, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury (general); wrongful death 3 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.

Can I recover if the accident was partly my fault?

Mississippi follows this rule: Pure comparative negligence — recover even if 99% at fault (reduced by your share). Because the answer depends on the details, it's worth talking to an attorney who knows Mississippi law before assuming you have no case.
