Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
At Tannehill Carmean, we represent seriously injured people on a contingency fee basis—we are only paid legal fees if we successfully negotiate a settlement or achieve a jury award at trial. This arrangement allows you to ensure you have the support of a skilled personal injury lawyer in Oxford without worrying about paying out-of-pocket. In any personal injury claim or lawsuit, the skills and experience of your personal injury lawyer can make a significant difference in the settlement or jury award you receive.
How Long Do I Have To File An Injury Claim?
Speaking with our personal injury lawyer as quickly as possible after suffering a serious injury is essential. All relevant supporting evidence must be gathered and preserved, witnesses must be interviewed, and an accident investigation must be initiated when needed. In Mississippi, the statute of limitations allows for three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Insurance claims should be filed as early as possible after the accident. Our firm takes on these tasks so you can focus on what matters—your recovery.
How Old Should You Be To Have An Estate Plan?
Any individual who is married, has children, is buying a home, or has any assets should have an estate plan in place. Estate planning may not be at the top of a “to-do list,” but protecting the people you love is extremely important. As an example, for parents, the names of those who will care for their children should the parents unexpectedly pass away. Without a will, the state of Mississippi will distribute your estate, which takes time and often will not match your wishes.
How Do I Choose An Attorney for a Real Estate Matter?
In real estate law, experience is vital. This area of the law can involve matters related to property sales and purchases, closings, refinancing, development projects, partnerships, joint ventures, and foreclosures, to name a few. Ensure your real estate matter is managed by a real estate lawyer who brings top-level skills to every issue, from simple purchases to managing the most complex real estate issues requiring litigation. Our real estate lawyer represents clients in all matters of real estate law in Oxford and the surrounding communities.
I Was Charged With a Crime. Can I Avoid Jail or Prison Time?
The criminal justice system is tough in Mississippi. You may be completely innocent, but how you are treated as a suspect can be one of the most frightening and stressful situations you will ever encounter. The individual that stands between you and the full force of the prosecutor and the system is your criminal defense lawyer in Oxford. Defendants have rights—but these rights must be protected vigorously and skillfully. Exercise your right to remain silent and ensure you are represented by a leading Oxford criminal attorney from Tannehill Carmean, PLLC—a law firm you can trust to fight for you and your freedom.
