WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF PERSONAL INJURY CASES?

Suppose the liable party was negligent in their duty to use reasonable care to ensure other’s safety. In that case, you may be able to file a personal injury claim to try and recover compensation. However, Missouri personal injury laws can be overly complex and confusing for those who lack legal training. For this reason, it is always best to hire a personal injury attorney who can provide solid legal representation to protect your rights.

SHOULD I SPEAK TO THE OTHER PARTY’S INSURANCE COMPANY IF THEY CONTACT ME?

However, anything you say regarding the accident can be used against you by the insurance provider to try and minimize their liability and potential payout on a claim.

In other cases, an insurance adjuster may offer you a quick settlement shortly after you have been injured. Although a fast personal injury settlement is tempting, especially if the victim cannot return to work, they rarely account for the injured party’s future medical expenses or loss of earning capacity. Therefore, you should first consult with a qualified personal injury attorney before making an agreement with the other party’s insurer.

At the Labovitz Law Firm, our personal injury lawyer can provide the legal counsel to ensure you fully understand your legal rights and protect your ability to pursue compensation.

WHAT TYPE OF COMPENSATION CAN I COLLECT FROM A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?

However, Missouri law allows accident victims to try and recover economic and non-economic damages, also called compensatory damages due to injury. In extreme cases that meet state guidelines, injury victims may also be able to collect punitive damages.

ECONOMIC DAMAGES

NON ECONOMIC DAMAGES

Non-economic damages are awarded to compensate them for intangible losses they have suffered as a result of their accident and may include:

PUNITIVE DAMAGES
