Protecting the Rights of Truck Accident Victims
Truck accidents can be devastating, often resulting in severe injuries, property damage, and even fatalities. If you or a loved one has been involved in a crash with a semi-truck, 18-wheeler, or commercial vehicle, you need an experienced trucking accident attorney to fight for your rights. At Philip E. Carby, P.C., we are committed to helping truck accident victims throughout Mississippi recover the compensation they deserve.
Why You Need a Trucking Accident Attorney
Trucking accident cases are more complex than standard car accidents due to multiple liable parties, federal regulations, and aggressive insurance companies. Our trucking accident attorneys in Mississippi will:
- Investigate the accident and determine liability
- Gather crucial evidence, including black box data and driver logs
- Negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and trucking companies
- Fight for full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering
Common Causes of Truck Accidents
Truck accidents can happen for many reasons, but some of the most common include:

No matter the cause, our trucking accident attorney will hold the responsible parties accountable.
