On the surface, one may view assistance of an injury attorney as unnecessary. As an average human being just like you, I can see where this opinion stems from. After being involved in an auto accident, the duration of your accident injury claim involves negotiation with the insurance company of the at-fault party. How hard can this be, right?

The truth is that insurance companies recognize the inexperience of most people involved in an injury claim and use that inexperience to their advantage. Just like any other business, insurance companies do what they do to make money. They do this by paying out the least amount of money possible when settling claims. Once you are in contact with the insurance company of an at-fault party, you will quickly realize that there is a vast difference in the amount which you see your claim is valued at and what they value your claim at. Claims adjusters then use threat tactics to attempt to rush you in to a settlement. Being unfamiliar with the process, injured parties often settle their claims far too early and for a minimal amount of their claim's value.

As experienced accident lawyers, we pride ourselves on intervening in your claim to ensure that none of the above happens and that you are properly compensated for the pain in which an injury has caused you and your loved ones. The first step we take as your attorney is place all insurance companies involved on notice that they are to deal directly with our office and no longer contact you, your family members, or anyone else involved in your claim. This provides a great sense of relief to you, ceasing the harassing phone calls and letters to your home. By handling all your correspondence for you, our team of attorneys guarantees you are being treated fairly and that nothing suspicious is happening.

While we pursue all investigative aspects of an accident injury lawsuit, we also assist you in obtaining proper medical treatment and evaluation for any injuries you sustained. I see many clients fail to pursue adequate medical care at the time of injury. People often assume they will improve with time or be able to deal with the pain. I cannot stress enough to my clients how critical it is to seek medical care during this time. Once your case is settled and your medical bills are paid for, there is no going back, seeking reimbursement for these or any other expenses. Should you need medical care in the future (post-settlement) you are fully responsible for paying any bills incurred. We work with a close group of Missouri's top physicians who provide you with an honest medical opinion while not requiring payment of any charges until the settlement of your claim. Medical opinions through documented records and reports are the most concrete way to illustrate your injuries down to the smallest detail. Medical records are hard to argue, therefore putting an insurance company against a wall when it comes to providing reimbursement for such care.
