Personal Injury:
Fighting for Maximum Compensation

When you’ve been injured in a car wreck or truck wreck, injured by a product, injured on someone’s property, or lost a loved one due to an accident or injury that was not their fault; the insurance companies want you to settle for less than you deserve. At Ray & Perry, we refuse to let that happen. We have helped clients recover millions of dollars in compensation because we know how to build strong cases that insurance companies take seriously.

We conduct in-depth investigations, work with top experts, and aggressively negotiate to maximize your recovery. If they refuse to pay what’s fair, we take them to court. Our results speak for themselves because we don’t settle for less. And neither should you!

Call us today to set up your free consultation and let us go to work for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Mississippi?

What is Mississippi’s comparative fault rule for car accident cases?

A: Mississippi follows a ‘pure comparative fault’ rule under Mississippi Code Section 11-7-15. If you are partially at fault, your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault — but you can still recover even if you were 99% at fault. Insurance companies use this rule aggressively to reduce settlements; having an experienced attorney levels the field.

What are the penalties for a first-offense DUI in Mississippi?

Can I get a DUI expunged from my record in Mississippi?

Does Ray & Perry charge upfront fees for personal injury cases?

What should I do immediately after a car or truck accident in Mississippi?
