Serving Biloxi-Gulfport and Jackson, Mississippi – Hattiesburg Personal Injury Lawyer
A personal injury occurs when a person is the victim of another party’s reckless, careless, or negligent actions. When an accident is the fault of another person or organization, the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation. At Ingram│Wilkinson, our personal injury attorneys understand that victims and their families often suffer extreme physical, emotional, and financial harm. Astronomical medical bills can bring a family to the brink of bankruptcy. If the personal injury victim was the main breadwinner, the family may be unable to pay their mortgage, their car insurance, or their children's tuition. Too often, personal injury victims do not receive the compensation to which they are entitled. If another person's negligence resulted in serious injury to you or a loved one, you should not have to bear the cost of recovery. Our attorneys have helped victims in Hattiesburg, Biloxi-Gulfport, Jackson, and throughout Mississippi; contact a personal injury lawyer at Ingram│Wilkinson today.

Personal Injury Lawsuits: An Overview
Personal injury lawsuits are filed in order to help victims obtain compensation for their injuries and to discourage the liable parties from repeating the behavior that caused the injuries. In order to successfully litigate a client’s claim, our Hattiesburg personal injury lawyers must first prove liability. Through extensive investigation and research, we will determine who bears legal responsibility for the injury. Liability is found in personal injury cases when you can prove that someone was negligent or acted with malicious intent.
What Is Negligence?
Negligence generally occurs when a party acts recklessly and causes injury to another person. Your personal injury lawyer will establish negligence by showing that the at-fault party:
- had a legal responsibility to ensure the plaintiff’s safety;
- failed — through conduct, action, or inaction — to fulfill that legal duty;
- harmed or injured the plaintiff as a result.
Financial Entitlements in Personal Injury Claims
Once liability is determined, we will seek compensation, on the client’s behalf, for any losses or damage related to the injury. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you obtain compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Physical rehabilitation costs
- Long-term care needs
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Property damage
- Psychological trauma
- Punitive damages

Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
If you have been injured by the careless, negligent, or reckless actions of another, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit. While proof of injury is required to achieve a favorable outcome in a personal injury case, an injury need not be physical. Victims subjected to extreme psychological or emotional distress are also eligible to pursue compensation. In the event of a death within the family, dependents may be compensated through wrongful death laws.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?
Results vary on a case-by-case basis; compensation is impossible to determine without first knowing the details of your case. The amount of compensation that personal injury victims may be entitled to will depend on:
- Financial losses (both past and future) including medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and other expenses.
- Physical damages including disfigurement and impairment.
- Emotional damages including pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, and inconvenience.
- Punitive damages may be sought if it is proven the defendant showed reckless disregard or maliciousness that resulted in the injury.
How Can Ingram│Wilkinson Help?
When you suffer a personal injury, your primary concern is getting well. The party or parties responsible for your injuries have a different concern. They are concerned with limiting their own liability and financial exposure. As a result, shortly after an accident, a claims adjuster, investigator, or other representative from an insurance company will want to take statements, have you sign documents, and settle your claims without considering the full extent of your injuries. This benefits the insurance company and puts you and your family at risk. At Ingram│Wilkinson, our lawyers will ensure you are not taken advantage of; we will protect your rights and help you obtain the compensation you deserve. Representing victims in Hattiesburg, Biloxi-Gulfport, Jackson, and throughout Mississippi, a personal injury lawyer at our firm will take extraordinary care to ensure that you thoroughly understand what to expect in the event an agreement is not reached before trial. We will help you through each step of your personal injury lawsuit so you can focus on recovering from your injury and getting your life back on track.
