Meridian car accidents cause more injury, death, and economic loss than any other crime or civic issue

Motor vehicle accidents are an hourly occurrence in Meridian and across Lauderdale County. Many crashes are completely avoidable, caused by drunk drivers or distracted drivers. Whatever the cause, car accidents are a major safety and economic issue for the communities in the region.

Get information on car crashes from Meridian law enforcement

The Meridian Police Department offers information on accidents. The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department is also a useful resource for information. And the Mississippi Highway Patrol has information on accidents that occur in that juristiction.

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety provides information on traffic and safety laws.

These departments are good resources after a car crash.

When someone is injured in a Meridian car crash, what needs to happen next?

In an injury accident, it is crucial to get appropriate medical treatment, regardless of the financial cost.

The major hospitals in the area include:

As soon as possible, an injured person should contact their insurance company to find out if medical treatment is covered under their insurance policy.

When an accident is serious or fatal, get help from an experienced Meridian car accident lawyer

When an injury is serious or a death occurs, the next step is to find an experienced Meridian car accident attorney to start the financial recovery process by launching an insurance claim. Major injury or wrongful death claims are complicated and difficult to manage. Having a great Meridian personal injury lawyer on board is a great relief to injured people, or to the family left behind when an accident proves fatal.

I was never called by the MHP to be informed. it posted on FB and i was called about 6 hours later by her biologal Fathers sister. I was told by the sister that MHP said not to call me that they would do it. I finally spoke to someone from MHP this Monday and was told that the fathers family claimed that had number for me. They also told me they claimed to not even know my name. That is only part of BS i have went through as well as losing my child. I just want to know how i can find out what happened.
