Jay Foster Law is a Mississippi personal injury firm with offices in Ocean Springs and Hattiesburgspecializing in truck and car accidents, nursing home abuse, workers compensation and longshore injuries.
Foster's special focus seems to be actively contesting with insurance companies to deal legitimately with his clients. His involvement with community and economic growth along Mississippi's gulf coast extends to activism in solving Mississippi's Wind Pool insurance problem.
He advocates new legislation which aims to garner for the Wind Pool a share of the state's revenues from oil and gas production in federal sites off Mississippi's coast. He is also active in providing pro bono legal services to victims of domestic abuse.
Jay Foster specializes in auto accident cases, and encourages you to contact him if you were injured in a car wreck anywhere in Mississippi. His knowledge of insurance company practices comes from having spent four years representing them as an attorney. This inside knowledge gives him the edge in fighting their efforts to get victims to settle early.
The nature and extent of injuries arising from automobile accidents often take a long time to reveal themselves. When insurance claims are settled too quickly, the insurer avoids paying the full amount required by the victim to cover medical expenses, lost income, and compensation for pain and suffering.
Similarly, Jay Foster has also represented trucking companies and therefore also has knowledge of their tactics for avoiding and minimizing liability in accident cases involving their drivers.
Due to it's location in the nation, Mississippi is a busy crossroads for southern truck routes between the east and west coasts of the United States, and therefore carries a high volume of the 250 billion dollar trucking industry's traffic.
When these complex and heavy machines transit the state with exhausteddrivers at the wheel, accidents occur which are usually not the fault of the victim who is injured in an accident. Jay is fully prepared by his experience with trucking companies to assist Mississippians who have been the victim of truck accidents.
Another area of specialty for Jay Foster is workers' compensation. While Mississippi workers' compensation maximum payouts are abysmally low, Jay will fight your employer's insurancecompany to make up for the loss of a worker's ability to make a living.
The maximum total payout a worker can expect from Mississippi workers' compensation is $186,430.50. When one considers that this payout would occur as compensation for a worker's entire lifetime of earning potential, it is insulting. Jay can help injured workers receive a sum that doesn'tundervalue their potential as providers and productive citizens.
Jay no longer handles insurance claims stemming from Hurricane Katrina. However, he is happy to provide referrals to other attorneys who handle these claims.
If you suffered property damage from Katrina and were covered at the time by AllState, Nationwide, USAA, Mississippi Farm Bureau, State Farm, or other carrier, Jay can point you in the proper direction for legal assistance.
