Frequently asked questions
Hattiesburg is in two counties. Which courthouse is mine?
Where the crash happened decides it. A wreck on the Forrest County side generally belongs to Forrest County Circuit Court in Hattiesburg. The city also runs into Lamar County, and a crash on that side goes to Lamar County Circuit Court, which sits in Purvis. Same city, different courthouse. Get the exact address or intersection into your notes early, because that one detail sets the rest.
What about a crash in Petal — is that a different county?
No. Petal is its own city, but it sits in Forrest County, so a Petal injury suit generally goes to Forrest County Circuit Court, the same as one from Hattiesburg. The reports are a different story. Petal has its own police department, while roads outside its limits fall to Forrest County deputies or to the state.
Who writes the report on I-59 or US-49 near Hattiesburg?
On I-59, US-49, and US-98 it's generally the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Inside the city limits it's Hattiesburg Police Department, and outside them it's the sheriff's office for whichever county you were in. A report lives with the agency whose officer filled it out, so start there rather than at city hall if a trooper worked your scene.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Mississippi?
In Mississippi, the deadline is generally 3 years from the date of the accident. 3 years personal injury (general); wrongful death 3 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
