St. Louis Car Accident Attorney - 866.840.3636 or 314.448.0934
Car Accident Lawyer in St. Louis, Missouri
You have been injured in a car accident. Your car is damaged. You have medical bills that are quickly getting out of control. You have bill collectors for the ambulance and hospital calling your house wanting payment. You missed some work and have lost income. Your family dynamic has been effected by the car accident and tensions are high at home. On top of all of that, you have an insurance claims adjuster that is playing a game that you are not familiar with....after all, this is all very new to you.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. In fact, founding partner Stephen Schultz was injured in a serious car accident and was in the same exact position that you are....and no, he was not a lawyer, yet. Don't think for a second that you will get a fair shake from the car insurance claims adjuster. Insurance companies all have the same mission statement: profit at any cost. And profit they do. Even with the influx of claims from natural disasters like hurricane Katrina, the insurance industry rakes in annual profits in excess of $40 Billion dollars.
Car accidents are the No. 1 cause of death and injury in both the USA and the state of Missouri. If you have been injured in a car accident in which another driver was at fault, it is crucial that you contact a St. Louis car accident attorney from the Schultz Legal Group. When dealing with injuries, some of which can be extremely serious, it is difficult to face dealing with insurance companies and the claims process. In fact, if you accept a settlement from an insurance company without legal assistance, you usually lose the ability to make future claims. A personal injury attorney from Schultz Legal Group can help you to ensure that all possible claims are made in your case.
Failure to obey posted street signs, texting and driving, driving while intoxicated, traveling too fast for road conditions, and vehicle defects. These are just a few of the contributing circumstances that support statistics that every person in Missouri will be involved in a motor vehicle accident at some point in his or her life. For those car accidents that result in serious personal injury, elicit the assistance of an attorney who has been recognized by the American Trial Lawyers Association as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer in Missouri, and who himself has been the victim of a serious car accident and understands first-hand the plight of an injury victim. Attorney Stephen Schultz is a lifetime member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum for obtaining single verdicts and settlements in excess of one million dollars and two million dollars. This elite organization consists of the top 1% of trial lawyers in the United States.
Dealing with an insurance claims adjuster without powerful legal representation following a serious car accident is like being victimized for a second time. Most of the large insurance companies in this country use claims software to decide the value of a life. Rarely are humanistic losses factored into the equation. You may have heard of the Allstate litigation that resulted in exposure of some of the most deviant, unfair claims tactics ever disclosed. It was discovered that Allstate literally bonused its employees for denying legitimate insurance claims. Unbelievable.
