Closely Working With You After an Injury

When an individual has sustained an injury in an accident, or as a result of a negligent act, it falls on their insurance provider to determine to what extent they will cover the costs of any medical or injury-related expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and/or unpaid medical bills.

At Wheeler & Franks Law Firm PC, we're here to help you get the amount you're entitled to from the insurance company. Serving as a personal injury lawyer in Tupelo, MS since 1999, we've been dealing with insurance providers and are well-versed in all the tricks of the trade.

In most cases, if insurance covers the cost of medical treatment, it may not extend much further than the absolute least amount of treatment required for recovery. However, in many cases, the true extent of an injury does not become apparent until months after the accident itself. That is when you should contact a truck accident lawyer in Tupelo, MS.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are considered "premises liability" cases. These cases arise when a property owner or custodian is negligent in maintaining, repairing or any upkeep for the property in question. Mississippi requires the landowner to maintain his or her property so that it does not present an unreasonable risk of harm to any visitors. Premises liability laws apply to both business owners and homeowners.

If you slip, trip, fall and are injured, Wheeler & Franks Law Firm PC has extensive experience in fighting to protect the rights of individuals who are injured through the negligence of others.

Wrongful Death Cases

If you have recently lost a loved one due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party, we may be able to help you determine the legal recourse that you or your family members may have. In Mississippi, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is one to three years after the death in question. Wrongful death claims can arise from a variety of situations, including but not limited to, death due to defective drugs, defective products, medical malpractice, or various accidents or injuries. Working alongside a truck accident lawyer in Tupelo, MS can be beneficial to your personal injury case.

Wrongful death beneficiaries may be entitled to compensation for expenses related to the death of a loved one, such as medical expenses, funeral expenses, and the decedent's pain and suffering prior to death. They may also be compensated, as family members, for loss of companionship, financial support, parental support, mental and emotional distress, and lost wages.
