What is a Personal Injury Claim?
If you have been injured in an auto accident, truck accident, work accident, or any other type of accident where another party is at fault, you maybe entitled to be financially compensated for your losses. This compensation can include reimbursement of medical expenses, rehab or physical therapy, lost income, and compensation for your pain and suffering.

Know your rights after an auto accident! Top Ten list of Things to Know:
- If the insurance company tells you not to hire a lawyer… you probably need a lawyer. The insurance company is not looking out for your best interests—that is not their job.
- Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance. You can say “no” if they ask you for a recorded statement, and they still have to resolve the property damage claim with you. They can’t force you to give a statement.
- Do not sign the insurance company’s forms, especially the medical release. These need to be reviewed first by your car accident lawyer.
- An insurance company’s first offer is merely the beginning of a negotiation. Don’t accept it without consulting a qualified personal injury attorney. You might very well be signing away your right to seek further compensation. Often it is a full and final release giving up all rights and chance for any additional compensation.
- If you are in an accident with an uninsured driver, there are ways you can still recover your losses.
- If your medical provider knows you are working with an attorney to recover your losses, they might be willing to continue treating you even if you cannot pay your bills immediately.
- Your attorney can advise you of different options available to you to be able to afford your medical treatment, including things you might have been unaware of.
- Most Missouri personal injury cases are settled out of court—but statistics show that insurance companies are often able to pay out less money to an injured party if they are not represented.
- We offer a FREE consultation to evaluate your case. There is no pressure to retain our services —it is always your decision.
- In other words, it costs nothing to see if we can help.
