by Jay Foster, Mississippi Car Accident Lawyer
If you are involved in a Mississippi car wreck or accident, it is very important to hire an experienced lawyer. If, however, you have already hired a lawyer, this blog will discuss how you can tell if your lawyer is doing a good job on your case.
When you hire a lawyer you definitely want to make sure you are going to actually communicate with the lawyer you hired. In other words, is the lawyer you saw in the telephone book or television ad the same lawyer that is actually handling your case or did your case get dumped on an associate? If not, why did you hire that lawyer? If the same lawyer is not handling your case, I would suggest looking for another lawyer. In addition, is the lawyer that you hired talking to you on the telephone or are your calls to your lawyer being screened by his or her secretary? Is the lawyer you hired for your Mississippi car wreck returning your telephone calls or is the lawyer not returning your telephone calls?
What type of injury do you have? Is it a case of a severe, permanently disabling injury? If so, the case may take longer to handle. If not, and you have an injury where you were released within a couple of months from your doctor, has your lawyer promptly followed up with the insurance company to settle the case?

Mississippi Trucking Wreck or Accident - Truck Driver's Pre-Trip Inspection
by Jay Foster, Mississippi Trucking Wreck Attorney
Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations 392.7
Title 49, Section 392.7 of the Code of Federal Regulations has certain pre-trip inspection requirements. For example, before an 18-wheeler or truck can be driven on the road, a truck driver has a duty to inspect the truck to make sure certain parts and accessories actually work.
