What do I need to know about a St. Louis auto accident claim for compensation
If you are injured in a car accident in Missouri, there are things you need to know before you talk to any insurance claims adjusters. First, we highly recommend that you contact a St. Louis automobile accident lawyer for advice. If you have the internet, research the credentials of several St. Louis personal injury attorneys and ask plenty of questions, including
- If your lawyer is dedicated to personal injury litigation
- If your lawyer only represents plaintiffs
- If your lawyer has trial experience
- If your lawyer is willing to take your case to trial if the insurance company is unfair
- If your lawyer is experienced in interpreting car insurance policies
- If your lawyer has knowledge of the most recent Missouri supreme court rulings that shape personal injury claims
- The accomplishments of a car accident lawyer
There is no need for you to rush any settlement or claim for compensation. Missouri's five year statute of limitations for non-fatal car accident claims allows you plenty of time to properly diagnose your injury and present a claim to the at-fault party's insurance carrier.
The Missouri car accident lawyers at Schultz & Myers can answer any specific questions you may have about your injury claim, including timeline of settlement, evidence to present a personal injury claim, and subrogation liens. Don't start out on an unequal footing with the insurance claims adjuster. Get the advice you need to even the scales.
