How fault works

Pure comparative negligence — recover even if 99% at fault (reduced by your share)

If you were hurt by a wet floor, poor lighting, or a hidden hazard, the key questions are whether the owner knew or should have known about the danger and failed to fix it. Mississippi's pure comparative negligence rule matters because owners often argue you were not watching where you were going, yet even if you are found partly at fault, up to 99%, you can still recover, reduced by your share, unlike all-or-nothing Alabama. These claims depend on quickly gathering evidence such as incident reports and surveillance footage, and Mississippi generally gives you three years to bring an injury claim. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed Mississippi attorney who works on premises liability cases, because we match, we do not represent you ourselves.

What decides a slip-and-fall claim in Mississippi

Owners argue the customer was not watching, and here that argument shaves the recovery instead of defeating it outright.
Casino floors, hotel corridors, and Gulf Coast retail run cameras everywhere, and the property keeps that video until its system records over it.
Inspection and sweep records show how long a hazard sat, which is the difference between an accident and a hazard somebody ignored.
Ask for the incident report before leaving, photograph the floor from standing height and from the ground, and bag the footwear you had on that day.
