St. Louis personal injury lawyer Stephen Schultz recently announced the highly anticipated release of Navigating a Personal Injury Claim: An Inside Look. People injured in car accidents, semi-truck accidents, and other accidents have a right to know where they stand against the insurance companies. Now injury victims can get an inside look into the complex world of personal injury law.
Presenting a personal injury claim in the hopes of obtaining a fair settlement as financial compensation is no easy task. Missouri laws are constantly evolving, changing the value of each claim. In August 2008, for example, Missouri tort reform changed several aspects of how a personal injury lawyer sought compensation from defendants and the insurance companies that insure negligent drivers, business owners, and corporations. Since 2008, the Missouri Supreme Court has reached numerous rulings that have changed the shape of tort reform.
Navigating a Personal Injury Claim is a helpful guide that applies to almost every injury case. The guide is broken down into seven sections. The first section is an introduction into personal injury claims. An experienced Missouri injury attorney realizes that injury victims are especially vulnerable during the recovery from a serious accident. Sitting at home, feeling helpless against the system, is commonplace for the victim.
Section two discusses “liability” and how to prove it in a personal injury claim. Insurance companies are only responsible for paying claims resulting from accidents that that they are legally liable for. Simply put, if one does not prove liability, one loses. Section three provides helpful information on how to prove “damages.” A St. Louis personal injury lawyer must account for every conceivable harm and loss caused by an accident in order to obtain justice for a client.
Section four addresses when and how to expect a settlement for an injury claim. It is important for each person to weigh the risks and rewards of passing on a settlement and seeking compensation from a jury. Section five points out the “pitfalls” commonly associated with presenting a claim and seeking money from an insurance company.
Section six proves insight into the value of hiring a personal injury lawyer to assist in presenting a claim. In some cases, hiring a lawyer is not the best idea. However, statistics prove that the value of almost every injury claim is increased when an attorney is involved.
