Description: Gulfport, Mississippi personal injury car wreck lawyers represented the Plaintiff who sued on an auto negligence theory.
Mississippi has a pure comparative negligence system. This means that you can still recover damages even if you are 99% at fault for your injuries. In a “modified comparative fault" court system, used by the majority of states now, the plaintiff only recovers if they are found less than 50% or 51% at fault.
