Trucking Company Insurance

There are federal and Mississippi insurance minimums required for interstate commercial trucking companies. They are required to meet or exceed those minimum insurance coverage levels for accidents involving bodily injury and wrongful death. Insurance companies are in business to make a profit and look for ways to pay accident victims the least amount possible. We are in business to protect the innocent and get the insurance companies to pay victims and their families full and adequate compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages.

One of the following insurance companies may be involved in your Mississippi semi truck accident (this is a partial list):

Zurich American Insurance Company
Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company
Gemini Insurance Company
General Insurance Company of America
Old Republic Insurance Co.
Discover Property and Casualty Insurance Co.
SAFECO Insurance Company of America
Ace American Insurance Co.
Starr Indemnity & Liability Insurance Company
Protective Insurance Co.
Factory Mutual Insurance Company
National Interstate Insurance Company
ARCH Insurance Company
National Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania

If the semi truck driver was at fault (negligence, inattention, drunk), the insurance company may offer you a settlement. We highly recommend you speak to an experienced 18-wheeler accident lawyer before you decide whether to accept the offer. Consultations are free.

Mississippi Semi Truck Accident:
Where Should My Lawsuit Be Filed?

All of the facts need to be evaluated in your Mississippi semi truck accident to determine whether your lawsuit should be filed in state or federal court. The facts will also determine if the suit should be filed in Mississippi or another state. These are critical decisions that should be made by an experienced attorney.

The United States District Court Southern District of Mississippicourt facilities are located in Jackson, Hattiesburg and Gulfport. The United States District Court Northern District of Mississippi court facilities are located in Aberdeen, Greenville and Oxford.

The Mississippi state court system is called the State of Mississippi Judiciary and is located in Jackson, Michigan. Mississippi has a two-tier appellate court system that reviews decisions of law and fact made by the trial courts. The Mississippi Supreme Court is the court of last resort among state courts.

The Court of Appeals hears cases assigned by the Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals is an error correction court. It hears and decides appeals on issues in which the law is already settled, but the facts are in dispute. The Supreme Court may review Court of Appeals decisions. If the Supreme Court declines review, the decision of the Court of Appeals stands.
