Personal Injury/Medical Malpractice/Defective Products
If you have suffered a personal injury, the last thing you may be thinking about is contacting a lawyer. However, contacting an attorney early in the process will not only enable you to know your rights, it may also improve your attorney's chances of handling your case effectively. Insurance companies may try and contact you shortly after your accident. Most insurance claims adjusters are interested in gaining your confidence by appearing interested in how you are doing and then asking you questions about your accident. Here, claims adjusters are primarily interested in gathering information they can use later against you to shift as much blame and fault onto you as possible. Since Missouri is a pure comparative negligence state, any compensation owed you can be reduced the percentage of fault you share in. For example, if you suffered $100,000 in losses but are found 50% at fault, you can only recover $50,000.
Key evidence such as eyewitness memories and physical evidence can fade or be lost or damaged over time. In a car accident, for example, evidence of skid marks from tires can completely disappear. In a slip and fall accident, evidence of ice, holes, or other hazardous conditions should be recorded quickly.
