Get to know Seth Thompson

Personal Injury Trial Lawyer Based in Jackson, MS

Seth Thompson is a trial lawyer who has won millions of dollars for his clients.  Over the course of his career, Seth has successfully taken on the biggest corporations and insurance companies in Mississippi in order to get his injured clients what they deserve. 

As a young attorney, Seth practiced primarily in the area of workers’ compensation, representing hard-working individuals who had been injured on the job.  His work ethic and knowledge of the law gained him acclaim in the workers’ compensation arena, prompting him to be recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star in 2015, and he has been recognized by that publication every year since.  Over the course of his career, Seth has argued his clients’ cases in front of every workers’ compensation judge in the state and secured enormous settlements and awards for clients who had previously been offered pennies on the dollar, or sometimes nothing at all.

Seth’s knowledge of the laws regarding workers’ compensation extends outside of the courtroom as well.  Seth is regularly asked to speak at conferences for other attorneys about workers’ compensation, and he has lectured on the topic to law students at his alma mater, Mississippi College School of Law.  Additionally, Seth has been invited to speak on several occasions at the Mississippi Capitol to educate the Mississippi Legislature on concerns with workers’ compensation issues. 

Seth’s other passion is helping those who have been hurt due to the negligence of others, whether that be by way of a car accident, trucking accident, slip and fall, medical malpractice, or defective products.  Seth began trying jury trials much earlier in his career than most of his fellow attorneys and he found success in the courtroom early.  In the years since his first jury trial, Seth has tried cases to winning verdicts across the state.  This reputation as a winning trial lawyer has allowed Seth to secure large settlements on most of his clients’ cases without having to step foot in the courtroom. 

When not fighting for his clients, Seth enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his daughter, Harper.
