Our law firm has helped Missouri people and their families in serious car accident cases since 1984. While we are at work developing the evidence necessary to prove liability and establish damages against those responsible for the accident, your attorney will also be working closely with the you and your family to help with all of the related problems as well — insurance coverage, creditor problems, hospital bills, and children's emotional problems.
A serious car accident can affect a whole family in many ways, sometimes forever. That is why we consider the legal work we perform for you on your negligence case as just a part of the broader service we provide in helping you put your life back together.
Our attorneys also help people who need legal counsel about their rights in accident scenarios including:
- Work-related car accidents
- Railroad crossing accidents
- Drunk driver or hit-and-run accidents
- Car wrecks caused by inattention, distracted driving, or road rage
- Accidents in construction zones or other dangerous road conditions
Many accident survivors find that their own insurance company can present as many obstacles to financial recovery as the other driver's insurance company. We can advise you about your rights to uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage whenever the other driver's insurance will be insufficient to cover a full, fair, and total compensation.
In fact, our experience with Missouri insurance law and our ability to look for alternative sources of coverage can often make the difference between full, total compensation and a judgment that you may never be able to collect upon.
As an additional benefit for the people we serve in car accident cases, we protect your interests on all aspects of your vehicle damage or property damage claim. You will be surprised to learn about your vehicle property damage rights that an insurance claims adjuster may never tell you. And we settle vehicle and property damage portions of a case completely free of charge.
Our lawyers also understand the importance of fast action to preserve evidence at an accident scene and inside the vehicles themselves just as insurance company investigators always do. This is why it is so important that you contact us as soon as possible after an accident. Your case will not be compromised because someone was too slow to inspect the physical damage or interview witnesses.
After a wreck, evidence gets lost, the accident scene changes, and witnesses memories fade with time. Remember that you will always have the burden of proving your case, not the insurance company defending it. Any delay in contacting an attorney only serves to weaken your case and help the defense.
