How fault works

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

Workers' compensation generally covers on-the-job injuries regardless of fault, but if someone other than your employer, such as a contractor, a property owner, or an equipment maker, contributed to your injury, you may also have a separate liability claim. In those third-party claims, Mississippi's pure comparative negligence rule applies, so you can recover even if you were partly at fault, reduced by your share, unlike neighboring Alabama's harsh contributory rule. Mississippi generally allows three years to bring a personal injury claim, though workers' compensation follows its own separate process and timelines. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed Mississippi attorney who can sort out which path fits your situation, because we match you and do not give legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between workers' comp and a third-party claim in Mississippi?

Workers' compensation is a no-fault benefit through your employer, while a third-party claim targets someone else whose negligence caused your injury. An independent attorney we connect you with can determine whether one or both apply to you.

Does Mississippi's fault rule affect a workplace injury claim?

It applies mainly to third-party liability claims, where pure comparative negligence lets you recover even if you share fault, reduced by your percentage. FaultFreeClaims can match you with an independent Mississippi attorney to explain how it affects your specific case.

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.
