FAQs About Personal Injury in Missouri
If you’ve been injured because of someone else’s actions or negligence, you could have a valid personal injury claim. To succeed, you’ll need to demonstrate that the other party was at fault and that their actions directly led to your injuries. During a consultation, I’ll evaluate your case, assess its strength and guide you through your legal options.
Generally speaking, individuals can receive both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages refer to measurable losses like medical bills, lost wages and property damage. In contrast, non-economic damages address intangible hardships such as pain, suffering and emotional distress. For severe injuries, compensation may also include future medical expenses and loss of earning potential. I’ll work to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.
Missouri uses a “pure comparative fault” rule, meaning even if you share some responsibility for the accident, you can still recover damages. That being said, the compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault. My goal is to minimize your level of fault and maximize the compensation you receive.
Often, personal injury cases are resolved outside of the courtroom, often through settlement negotiations or mediation, avoiding the need for a trial. However, if a fair settlement isn’t possible, I’m fully prepared to take your case to court. I’ll fight tirelessly to protect your rights and seek the outcome you deserve.
Insurance companies often try to settle quickly and for less than your claim is worth. Before accepting any offer, it’s crucial to consult an attorney who can evaluate if the settlement meets your current and future needs. I negotiate on your behalf to ensure you’re not shortchanged and receive the compensation you’re entitled to.
