Over 60 Years of History Fighting for Our Clients and Our Community
Langston & Lott is a Northeast Mississippi personal injury firm that has handled catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases for families across the region since 1964. Sixty years in Booneville means something different than sixty years in a major city: reputation here builds case by case and generation by generation, and we have spent that time taking on the cases families could not afford to have mishandled.
We are not a high-volume, quick-settlement practice. Our attorneys here handle complex personal injury cases and prepare them for litigation from the start, not only when settlement talks collapse.
What Kind of Firm Is Langston & Lott?
Langston & Lott is a personal injury litigation firm focused on catastrophic and complex injury cases. The clients here are not usually dealing with minor injuries. They are facing life-altering harm: severe burns, traumatic brain injuries, spinal damage, permanent loss of function, or the death of a family member.
Our firm handles car accidents, truck accidents, burn injuries, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, workers’ compensation, dog bite injuries, construction accidents, slip and fall claims, product liability, mass tort cases, and sexual abuse claims.
A Practice Built Around Cases That Require More
We are built for the cases that do not settle with a phone call. Some personal injury claims resolve through routine negotiation; others require deposing witnesses across multiple states, retaining specialists in burn medicine or commercial trucking regulations, and litigating against corporations with full-time legal departments.
At Langston & Lott, we do what it takes to pursue the full compensation your case calls for. To talk through your situation with a Mississippi personal injury lawyer, call (662) 728-9733 for a free case review.
Why Does Burn Injury Litigation Get Special Attention Here?
Burn injury cases are among the most demanding in personal injury law. They frequently involve product liability, industrial negligence, or unsafe property conditions, combined with long-term and often permanent medical consequences.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets and enforces safety standards across many of the workplaces and industries where serious burn injuries occur. When those standards are violated and someone sustains permanent harm, the legal question of accountability is worth pursuing.
Our firm has developed substantial depth in burn injury litigation and treats these cases as a primary area of focus.
What Sets Trucking Cases Apart From Standard Accident Claims?
Trucking cases differ from standard accident claims because they are governed by federal safety regulations that create additional grounds for liability. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets requirements for driver qualifications, hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and cargo limits, and violations of those standards often drive liability in serious crash cases.
These cases also require early action. Electronic logging data and black box records from commercial vehicles have short retention windows. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tracks crash data involving large trucks that can support liability analysis in specific case types.
Langston & Lott has handled trucking accident cases involving major carriers across Northeast Mississippi and into neighboring states.
Sixty-Plus Years Practicing in Northeast Mississippi
Our firm opened in Booneville in 1964, and the attorneys who practice here carry that foundation forward. Multi-generational is not a marketing phrase in this context. It means the relationships, the regional procedural knowledge, and the understanding of how cases move through Mississippi courts have developed over decades.
Langston & Lott maintains offices in Booneville and Tupelo and serves clients across a broad regional footprint, including the Golden Triangle area of Starkville, West Point, and Columbus, and the Mississippi Delta. Cases have extended into Alabama and Tennessee when circumstances call for it.
The Mississippi court system has its own procedural landscape. Practicing within it across multiple decades and multiple generations of attorneys produces a level of familiarity that cannot be built quickly.
What Can Clients Expect From Our Firm?
Langston & Lott handles personal injury cases on contingency. There are no upfront fees, and our firm collects legal costs only if it recovers on your behalf.
We also offer a 30-day satisfaction promise. If you are not satisfied within the first 30 days of representation, Langston & Lott returns your case file at no cost. That window gives clients a genuine opportunity to evaluate whether the representation is the right fit before the case moves into full preparation.
That is an unusual commitment in personal injury law. It reflects one straightforward position: a client should feel confident in their representation before it moves into full preparation.
Common Questions About Langston & Lott
Langston & Lott is based in Mississippi with offices in Booneville and Tupelo. We have handled cases extending into Alabama and Tennessee and can advise on whether your specific situation falls within reach during an initial consultation.
Our Mississippi personal injury lawyers focus on serious injuries with lasting consequences. Cases involving catastrophic harm, complex liability, or well-funded opposing parties tend to be the strongest fit for what this practice is built to do.
As soon as possible. Evidence degrades, witnesses become harder to locate, and commercial vehicle records have short retention windows. The sooner our firm can evaluate the situation, the stronger the starting position for the case.
Yes, and it happens with some regularity. Cases involving disputed liability, complex product defects, multiple defendants, or injuries that are difficult to value often get declined by firms built around volume and quick resolution. Langston & Lott is structured for the opposite. If another firm has passed on your case, that alone is not a reason to stop looking for representation.
