At NST Law, we are dedicated to helping injured individuals and their families get the justice and compensation they deserve.
Mr. Trotz has handled personal injury cases involving car accidents, trucking accidents, slip and fall, premises liability, and negligent security. Each and every day, Mr. Trotz represents those who have been injured through no fault of their own, and many of his clients have sustained traumatic, catastrophic and life-altering injuries.
NST Law has been helping injured victims stand up to insurance companies and recover compensation for more than 32 years. Since we have been in business, we have built a staff of more than 34 compassionate and dedicated attorneys and 135 support staff in Mississippi and across the United States.
We have recovered more than $2 billion in verdicts and settlements for our clients, including the following:
When you are injured because of someone else’s negligence, you pay the price in the form of injuries, pain, and suffering. You should not also have to bear the financial burden. A Tupelo personal injury lawyer can ensure the negligent party compensates you for the harm you have suffered.
Mississippi has a death rate of 82 per 100,000 from intentional and unintentional injuries, a figure that far exceeds the national rate of 62 per 100,000. This is in addition to more than three million annual hospitalizations due to preventable injuries nationally. The leading cause is motor vehicle accidents.
While we cannot restore health or bring back a lost loved one, NST Law can help people and families alleviate the resulting financial stress and hold accountable those who injure others through careless conduct.
Whether your injury was due to an automobile accident, a severe fall, or a negligent health care provider, our experienced attorneys have the resources, skill, and experience to get you the compensation you deserve.
If you have been injured in a car accident in or near Tupelo, our attorneys can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure you are treated fairly. Insurance companies have been known to take advantage of the inexperience and vulnerability of accident victims. You can count on a Tupelo car accident attorney from NST Law to fight aggressively to protect your interests while you weather this difficult experience.
The network of major highways spanning the Tupelo area, including Interstate 22, U.S. Highways 45, 78, 178, and 278, and State Highway 6, has resulted in significant commercial truck traffic in this area.
As a result, Tupelo residents experience a significant risk of accidents involving large trucks.
Professional truck drivers owe other drivers an extra duty of care because their vehicles carry higher risks than other vehicles. In addition, trucking companies must follow federal standards for maintaining their vehicles and managing their drivers.
Truck driver fatigue is a significant concern, as truck drivers often work up to 70 hours per week. Although federal regulations limit the number of hours a driver can work, these hours are still long, and many drivers exceed these regulations due to unrealistic expectations by trucking companies. This endangers all drivers.
When trucking companies and their drivers breach their duty of care, the resulting harm is likely to be catastrophic and may include:
If you enjoy riding your motorcycle on the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway, through town, or anywhere in Mississippi, you have the same right to use the roadways as drivers. You also have the right to expect drivers to watch for you.
A significant number of motorcycle accidents occur because drivers fail to see motorcycles, follow too closely, or engage in other careless behaviors like speeding or distracted driving. Motorcyclists pay the price for the negligence of drivers in the form of serious injuries.
Our motorcycle accident attorneys have helped hundreds of riders and their families recover substantial compensation for such injuries as the following:
When you are injured on someone else’s property as a result of carelessness by the property owner or manager, you may have grounds to file a premises liability claim. This is true whether your accident occurs in someone’s home, an apartment complex, a place of business, or on public property.
Premises liability claims include the following:
Being injured on someone’s property is not enough to prevail in a civil lawsuit. A successful premises liability claim requires evidence that the injury was due to conditions on the property that created a hazard, which the property owner knew or reasonably should have known existed.
If you have been injured at work, you may qualify to file a workers’ compensation claim. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system that provides workers with free medical care and partial wage replacement when injuries prevent them from working.
Unfortunately, employers do not always cooperate with the workers’ compensation claims process. They may deny you are injured or claim you are not a statutory employee. When this occurs, you may have grounds to file a workers’ compensation lawsuit to force payment of your benefits.
If your immediate family member has been taken too soon because of the wrongful or negligent conduct of others, your family may be left with devastating financial and emotional losses. Mississippi families have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit to alleviate the financial burden and hold the negligent parties accountable.
A health care provider owes patients a duty to provide a reasonable standard of care, which is defined as the treatment a reasonably prudent health care provider with similar qualifications would offer. It requires informed consent by the patient and adherence to established medical standards.
Prosecuting a medical malpractice case requires thorough medical and legal knowledge. Your case will require a detailed review of your medical records and the corroboration of medical experts.
At NST Law, our network includes some of the nation’s leading medical experts and professional witnesses to ensure your case is as strong as possible.
Compensation is tied to the severity of your injuries, the circumstances of your accident, and the available insurance. Every case is unique due to the significant number of factors that must be considered when calculating damages.
Economic damages are the verifiable monetary losses associated with your injuries. During settlement negotiations or jury deliberations, these damages may be considered when calculating your non-economic damages and punitive damages. Thus, it is important for your attorney to account for all your monetary losses.
You can count on NST Law to leave no stone unturned and carefully consider every potential financial loss, including the following:
In the event of a wrongful death, we will help you recover funeral expenses, lost income of the deceased, and any other financial losses to your family as a result of the untimely death of your loved one.
You have the right to recover compensation for the non-monetary losses that stem from your injuries, including the following:
In the wrongful death of a family member, non-economic damages may also include:
Mississippi limits non-economic damages to $500,000 in medical malpractice cases and $1,000,000 in most other personal injury cases.
You can count on our attorneys to pursue the maximum compensation available under the law. This is one of the six pillars of NST Law.
Punitive damages are awarded as a punishment against a defendant in rare circumstances when clear and convincing evidence demonstrates the defendant acted with malice, displayed a reckless disregard for the safety of others, or committed fraud. Mississippi limits punitive damages awards according to a defendant’s net worth.
One of the most important jobs of a personal injury lawyer is determining who is liable for your injuries. This may be multiple parties.
Our attorneys will consider the liability of the following parties for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident:
The liable party for an injury on someone else’s property is typically the owner, which could be an individual, a business, or a government entity.
The following health care providers may be liable for medical malpractice:
We do not charge legal fees or case costs to personal injury clients unless and until we win you compensation. At that time, we collect a percentage of your recovery as agreed upon.
It is important to contact a Tupelo personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident. This will ensure your attorney has sufficient time to investigate and build your case ahead of the statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations is three years for most Mississippi personal injury cases, but this can vary. For example, you have 90 days to notify a government entity of your intention to file a claim and just one year to file it.
For medical malpractice claims, the statute of limitations is two years, and you must file a notice of claim 60 days before you file your lawsuit.
If you miss a deadline, you could forever lose your right to file a claim for the compensation you rightfully deserve. Our attorneys are keenly aware of how the statute of limitations applies to each type of case, and meeting these important deadlines is a top priority.
