Damages Allocation in Mississippi

Mississippi law governs damages allocation through a single statutory provision. Under Miss. Code Ann. § 11-7-15, the allocation of fault among multiple parties is determined by the fact‑finder according to the rule set out in that statute. The law provides a framework for apportioning responsibility, including factors and exceptions that the fact‑finder must consider. The exact percentages and the method of calculation are prescribed by the statute and applied to the specific evidence in each case. A worked example below demonstrates how the allocation is computed under this rule. For an estimate of how damages would be allocated in your own circumstances, use the calculator on this page.
