Question 1

What personal injury case types do you cover in Mississippi?

Accepted Answer

Premises liability and slip and fall are our headline Mississippi categories: Coast casinos (Beau Rivage, Hard Rock Biloxi, Harrah's, IP, Palace, Treasure Bay, Boomtown, Scarlet Pearl), Tunica casinos in north Mississippi, big-box and grocery (Walmart, Target, Costco, Kroger, Winn-Dixie, Piggly Wiggly), restaurant and hotel, parking lot, apartment complex, and shopping-center files. We also cover auto / car accident, truck and 18-wheeler (I-10 Coast, I-20 Atlanta-Dallas freight artery, I-55 Memphis-NOLA backbone, I-22 Toyota corridor), motorcycle, rideshare (Uber and Lyft), pedestrian and bicyclist, dog bite (common-law one-bite/scienter), wrongful death, agricultural and meatpacking workplace (catfish processing in the Delta, poultry processing in Forest/Carthage/Scott County, shipbuilding at Ingalls/Pascagoula, cotton-gin and farm-equipment in the Delta), and product. Most firms buying Mississippi leads from us mix a heavy slip-and-fall and casino-premises base with steady auto and Coast trucking flow.

Question 2

How does Mississippi premises liability law work?

Accepted Answer

Mississippi preserves the traditional invitee/licensee/trespasser tripartite framework. The Mississippi Supreme Court has been repeatedly asked to abolish the distinctions and has declined. Invitees (business and public) are owed a duty of reasonable care plus a duty to inspect for and warn of hazards. Licensees (social guests, permission for own purpose) are owed a duty to refrain from willful or wanton injury and to warn of known hidden dangers. Trespassers are owed only the duty against willful or wanton injury (no traps). Surveillance preservation, prior-complaint discovery, and incident-report status drive Mississippi slip-and-fall outcomes. Coast casino premises files anchor a defining negligent-security and inadequate-security vertical, with prior-incident discovery and security-staffing ratios driving the demand letter.

Question 3

How does the Mississippi dog-bite framework work?

Accepted Answer

Mississippi has NO statewide strict-liability dog-bite statute. Mississippi applies the common-law one-bite/scienter rule under Poy v. Grayson, 273 So.2d 491 (Miss. 1973): the owner is liable only if the plaintiff proves the dog had dangerous propensities AND the owner knew or should have known of them. A prior bite is not strictly required; growling, lunging, and snapping can establish propensity. Negligence per se is available where leash-law or animal-control ordinances are violated. The 3-year general PI clock under Miss. Code § 15-1-49 governs. Mississippi dog-bite outcomes are typically lower than strict-liability-state outcomes given the proof burden.

Question 4

How much do Mississippi premises liability and slip-and-fall leads cost?

Accepted Answer

Mississippi premises and slip-and-fall lead pricing tracks the Google Ads auction. Personal injury commercial-intent CPCs across Mississippi generally run $40 to $150, with Jackson, Gulfport, Biloxi, and DeSoto (Memphis suburbs) at the top end and rural counties meaningfully lower. Coast casino-specific queries push higher in Harrison, Hancock, and Jackson counties. Our published Mississippi pricing is $125-$655 per exclusive lead by case type ($360 for car accident (MVA, including motorcycle and pedestrian), $540 for commercial MVA (trucking, rideshare, bus), $655 for wrongful death, $195 for premises liability, and $125+ for workers' compensation), flat and the same for every firm, with no minimums or contracts (see the pricing section above).

Question 5

What is the statute of limitations for Mississippi personal injury claims?

Accepted Answer

Three years from the date of injury under Miss. Code Ann. § 15-1-49 for most personal injury claims, including premises, slip and fall, dog bite, auto, and product. The discovery rule applies for latent injury or disease. Some intentional torts (assault, battery, libel/slander, false imprisonment) carry a 1-year SOL under § 15-1-35. Wrongful death runs on a 3-year clock under Miss. Code § 11-7-13 drawn from § 15-1-49; med-mal wrongful death runs on a 2-year clock under § 15-1-36; intentional-act wrongful death runs on the 1-year clock under § 15-1-35. Mississippi Tort Claims Act (Miss. Code § 11-46-1 et seq.) requires written notice of claim served on the chief executive of the entity at least 90 days before suit (§ 11-46-11), with a 1-year SOL from occurrence; timely notice tolls the SOL for 95 days. MTCA caps governmental liability at $500,000 per single occurrence (§ 11-46-15).

Question 6

How does Mississippi's pure comparative fault rule affect premises and PI cases?

Accepted Answer

Mississippi is one of only ~13 PURE comparative fault states under Miss. Code Ann. § 11-7-15, the most plaintiff-friendly fault regime in the country. The statute provides that contributory negligence does not bar recovery; damages are diminished in proportion to the plaintiff's negligence. Pure comparative is unusual for the South (most peer states use 50% or 51% modified bar) and meaningfully changes the underwriting math on borderline-fault premises files (slip-and-fall with prior wet-floor warning posted, premises files where plaintiff partially ignored a marked hazard, intoxicated-patron casino files). Borderline-fault Mississippi PI leads are flagged for additional intake context and not auto-rejected.

Question 7

Does Mississippi cap PI noneconomic damages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mississippi caps PI noneconomic damages at $1,000,000 under Miss. Code Ann. § 11-1-60(2)(b) for all non-med-mal civil actions, a hard, non-indexed cap that is unusual nationally (most states cap only med-mal). Med-mal noneconomic damages are separately capped at $500,000 under § 11-1-60(2)(a) for cases filed on or after 9/1/2004. The cap structure was created by HB 13 (2004 1st Extraordinary Session, signed by Gov. Haley Barbour). The 5th Circuit upheld the $1M general PI cap against jury-trial and separation-of-powers challenges in Learmonth v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., No. 09-60651 (5th Cir. Feb. 27, 2013). Punitive damages are tiered by defendant net worth under Miss. Code § 11-1-65: $20M cap if net worth exceeds $1B; $15M for $750M-$1B; $5M for $500M-$750M; $3.75M for $100M-$500M; $2.5M for $50M-$100M; 2% of net worth if net worth is $50M or less. Punitive proceedings are bifurcated; the jury is not advised of the cap; punitives require clear and convincing evidence of malice, gross negligence, or fraud.

Question 8

Do you handle Coast and Tunica casino premises files?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Coast casinos (Beau Rivage, Hard Rock Biloxi, Harrah's Gulf Coast, IP Casino Resort Spa, Palace Casino Resort, Treasure Bay, Boomtown, Scarlet Pearl, Island View, Hollywood Bay St. Louis) and Tunica casinos (Horseshoe Tunica, Gold Strike, Sam's Town, etc.) drive a dense premises and inadequate-security docket in Harrison, Hancock, Jackson, and Tunica counties. We screen casino files for property identification, incident-report status, surveillance preservation timing, security-staffing context, prior-incident indicators, and intoxicated-patron analysis under pure comparative fault. The $1M general PI noneconomic cap caps the noneconomic side of these files; economic damages (medical, lost wages, future care) and punitive damages remain available under the separate caps.

Question 9

How does the Mississippi Tort Claims Act change the calculus on public-entity files?

Accepted Answer

The Mississippi Tort Claims Act (Miss. Code § 11-46-1 et seq.) is the exclusive remedy against state and political-subdivision entities. Notice of claim must be served on the chief executive at least 90 days before suit under § 11-46-11; failure to give timely notice is typically fatal. The MTCA SOL is 1 year from occurrence, with the 90-day notice tolling the SOL for 95 days. The cap on governmental liability is $500,000 per single occurrence under § 11-46-15. No punitive damages, no prejudgment interest, and no attorney's fees are available against governmental entities. Discretionary-function immunity under § 11-46-9 is heavily litigated and frequently dispositive on public-entity files. We flag MTCA files at intake for fast notice routing.

Question 10

Are your Mississippi leads pre-screened against the 3-year SOL and the MTCA notice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Mississippi lead is screened for SOL position under Miss. Code § 15-1-49, representation status, injury, and pure comparative fault sanity check under Miss. Code § 11-7-15. Premises and casino files include surface-condition, incident-report, and security-staffing context where applicable. Public-entity leads are flagged at intake for the 90-day MTCA notice window under § 11-46-11 and the $500K per-occurrence cap under § 11-46-15. Med-mal leads are flagged for the 2-year SOL under § 15-1-36 and the $500K noneconomic cap under § 11-1-60(2)(a).

Question 11

Any contracts, minimums, or setup fees?

Accepted Answer

None. No monthly minimums, no subscriptions, no setup fees for standard onboarding. Pay per lead. Pause or resume anytime. Invalid leads are replaced under our standard policy.
