Yes. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee - no fee unless we recover for you. Whether your crash happened on I-10, I-110, US-90, or a Biloxi surface street, Bud can evaluate your claim, deal with the insurance adjuster, and file suit in the proper court if a fair settlement is not offered.
Mississippi's general statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury, but claims against a government entity can have a much shorter one-year notice deadline. Because deadlines can cut off your rights, it is best to call as soon as possible after an accident.
Whether a Mississippi DUI can be expunged depends on the charge, disposition, prior record, and statutory requirements. A petition is filed in the court where the case was resolved, which may be Biloxi Municipal Court for a city arrest. The firm can review the record and explain whether the statute may apply.
