A driver looking at a phone instead of the road is one of the most common causes of serious crashes in Mississippi, from the interstates through Jackson and the Gulf Coast to the highways and arterials across the state. A glance at a screen at highway speed covers the length of a football field blind. At Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we hold distracted drivers accountable statewide and prove the distraction that caused your crash.
Mississippi's texting and social media ban
Mississippi law under Miss. Code § 63-33-1 prohibits writing, sending, or reading a text message and accessing social media on a hand-held phone while driving. A driver who violates that law and causes a crash has broken a safety rule meant to protect everyone on the road, and that violation is evidence of negligence we use to establish fault.
Mississippi's three-year deadline and the evidence of distraction
Mississippi gives you three years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit under Miss. Code § 15-1-49, but the proof of distraction, including phone records and app data, is controlled by the driver and the carrier and does not last forever. We act quickly to preserve and obtain that record through formal legal demands before it is gone.
How we prove the driver was distracted
Drivers rarely admit they were on the phone. We obtain the phone records and, where needed, the data showing texts, calls, and app use at the moment of impact, along with any dashcam or traffic footage and witness accounts. That evidence turns a he-said dispute into a documented timeline of the driver's attention.
Why partial fault does not end your Mississippi claim
Mississippi follows pure comparative negligence under Miss. Code § 11-7-15. Even if a distracted driver's insurer tries to shift some blame onto you, being partly at fault reduces your recovery by your percentage rather than eliminating it. We answer with the phone evidence and the crash reconstruction so fault stays with the driver who was not watching the road.
Serving injured victims across Mississippi
Howe.Law represents people injured by distracted drivers throughout Mississippi, with offices in Jackson, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, and Biloxi. Wherever in the state you were hurt, we serve you.
Reports, treatment, and filing your case
A crash inside a city is investigated by that city's police department, one in an unincorporated area by the county sheriff, and one on an interstate by the Mississippi Highway Patrol. We obtain the report along with your medical records and file your lawsuit in the county where the crash occurred, in that county's Circuit Court.

Common questions
How can you prove the other driver was texting?
We obtain the driver's phone records and, when needed, the detailed data showing texts, calls, and app activity at the time of the crash, and we pair it with dashcam or traffic footage and witness statements. Together that builds a documented timeline of the driver's distraction.
Mississippi lets drivers hold a phone for calls. Does that make my case harder?
No. Even where holding a phone for a call is allowed, a driver still has a duty to pay attention and drive safely, and texting or using social media behind the wheel is prohibited. We focus on what the driver was actually doing and whether it caused your crash.
The driver says they were not on their phone. Now what?
We do not take their word for it. A formal demand for the phone records and carrier data can show exactly what the phone was doing at the moment of impact, which is often very different from what the driver claims.
Cases We Handle
We represent injury victims across Georgia, Tennessee, and Mississippi in a wide range of accident and injury cases.

Richard was extremely helpful, and even though my case wasn't the best fit for his firm, he took extra time to give me direction and clarity to help me with the next steps... Far beyond what he needed to. I'm extremely grateful I contacted his firm.
I had a question about a collection we are going through and Richard himself answered the call and provided a lot of insight to what our next steps would be at no charge. I highly recommend this firm. They are here to help.

They explained the whole process in a way that actually made sense and I never felt confused or left in the dark, they were super helpful and responsive whenever I had questions.
