Truck accidents can result in devastating injuries and significant financial burdens. As an experienced personal injury attorney, I understand the challenges you face after such a traumatic event. At Kellum Law Firm, P.C., we are dedicated to helping victims of truck accidents throughout Mississippi. With our main office in Jackson and a satellite office in Port Gibson, we are well-positioned to serve clients across south and central Mississippi.

The Unique Challenges of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are different from car accidents due to the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks. These accidents often result in more severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and even fatalities. Additionally, truck accidents typically involve multiple parties, such as the truck driver, the trucking company, and insurance carriers, making the claims process more complex.

Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Understanding the common causes of truck accidents can help in building a strong case. Some frequent causes include:

• Driver fatigue
• Speeding
• Overloaded or improperly loaded trucks
• Poor vehicle maintenance
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

At Kellum Law Firm, P.C., we conduct thorough investigations to determine the cause of the accident and identify all liable parties.

Steps to Take After a Truck Accident
The actions you take immediately after a truck accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation. Here are some steps to follow:

• Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Get medical help even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured.
• Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
• Get Contact Information: Collect contact details from the truck driver, witnesses, and any other parties involved.
• Report the Accident: File a report with the police and obtain a copy for your records.
