Mississippi sits on major national freight routes. Interstate 55 runs the length of the state from the Gulf Coast toward Memphis, Interstate 20 carries east-west truck traffic through Jackson and Meridian, and Interstate 10 and Interstate 59 add to the constant flow of tractor-trailers. A loaded commercial truck causes catastrophic damage in a collision, and a trucking company's insurer moves fast to protect itself. At Howe.Law Injury & Accident Lawyers, we take these cases on across Mississippi.
Mississippi's three-year deadline and the evidence that vanishes
Mississippi gives you three years from the date of the collision to file a lawsuit under Miss. Code § 15-1-49. Even with that longer window, the most important proof in a truck case is controlled by the trucking company. The truck's electronic control module, the driver's hours-of-service logs, and the dispatch records can be overwritten within weeks. We send a preservation demand immediately so that evidence is protected.
Why a truck case is different from a car crash
Commercial trucks are governed by federal safety regulations covering driver hours, maintenance, and loading, and a violation of those rules often points straight to the cause of the crash. More than one party may be liable, including the driver, the trucking company, a separate broker, and the company that loaded the trailer, each carrying far larger insurance coverage than an ordinary driver. We identify every responsible party and build the case against all of them.
Why partial fault does not end your Mississippi claim
Mississippi follows pure comparative negligence under Miss. Code § 11-7-15, unlike its neighbors. There is no threshold that wipes out your claim. Even if you are found partly at fault, you can still recover, with your award reduced by your percentage of fault. Trucking insurers work to pin blame on the other driver, and we answer with the truck's own data, the logs, and reconstruction so fault is assigned accurately. The most seriously injured are treated at Mississippi's designated trauma centers, including the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, the state's only Level I trauma center.
Serving injured victims across Mississippi
Howe.Law represents injured clients throughout Mississippi, with offices in Jackson, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, and Biloxi. From the coastal freight routes to the I-55 corridor and the north, we serve people hurt in truck crashes anywhere in the state.
Reports, treatment, and filing your case
A truck crash on an interstate such as I-55, I-20, I-10, or I-59 is investigated by the Mississippi Highway Patrol, one inside a city by that city's police department, and one in an unincorporated area by the county sheriff. We obtain the correct 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
Why do you send a preservation letter so quickly after a truck crash?
A trucking company can lawfully overwrite electronic and log data on its normal schedule unless it is told to preserve it. A preservation demand puts the company on notice that the truck's data, the driver's logs, and the dispatch records must be kept, which protects the proof your case depends on.
Who can be held responsible besides the truck driver?
Depending on the facts, the trucking company, a broker who arranged the load, a maintenance contractor, or the company that loaded the trailer may share responsibility. We investigate the full chain so every liable party and every applicable insurance policy is part of the claim.
The insurer says I share some blame. Does that end my claim in Mississippi?
No. Under Mississippi's pure comparative negligence rule, being partly at fault reduces your recovery by your percentage but does not eliminate it. We build the evidence to keep your share as low as the facts allow.

Reviews from our Accident and Injury Clients
I googled Collection Attorney and found Howe and Associates. Their receptionist picked up, I introduced myself and explained to her my situation and in no time she got Mr. Richard Howe on the phone with me. I explained my situation and he was very attentive, helpful, nice to me and after carefully listening to me he gave me some encouraging advice and how to go about the right help. He also gave me an open invitation to call him anytime if I ever have any questions. I was very happy God lead me to his firm.
I really just appreciate the professionalism and knowledge given from speaking with your firm during consultation. It definitely makes it feel comfortable if the need to move forward with the service of your firm
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.
I was in a vulnerable state after my accident and appreciated Nathalie for listening, being compassionate and offering guidance. I am truly grateful I called. Thank you so much!
I was really stressed about everything and didn't know where to start but the team took the time to walk me through each step and made sure I understood what was happening. 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. I'm so grateful for how well they treated me and how easy they made everything feel
