Case Number: 3:23-cv-00429
Judge: Henry T. Wingate
Court: United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi (Hinds County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: Stacy Everett Pepper
Defendant's Attorney: David C. Dunbar and Christopher G. Dunnells
Description: Jackson, Mississippi personal injury truck wreck lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued on an auto negligence theory.
This case was filed in the Circuit Court of Hinds County, Mississippi, 23-00337 and was removed to federal courts by Ronnie B. King. Jr. and Schneider National Carriers, Inc.
Mississippi has a pure comparative negligence system. This means that you can still recover damages even if you are 99% at fault for your injuries. In a “modified comparative fault" court system, used by the majority of states now, the plaintiff only recovers if they are found less than 50% or 51% at fault.
Outcome: Order Dismissing Case. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the above-styled and number cause should be and is hereby dismissed in its entirety without prejudice with each party to bear its own costs. Signed by District Judge Henry T. Wingate on 4/18/2024 (LAT) (Entered: 04/18/2024)
