That said, accidents aren’t really that; over 90 percent of what we deem as accidents have a negligence aspect to them on account of the fact that the perpetrator chose to act in a manner that was not reasonable, thereby setting in action a chain of events that led to the accident and your consequent injuries.

We pride ourselves in offering hands-on and personalized legal services tailored to the needs of every client, ensuring that each injured client gets the compensation that is commensurate or matches their injuries and the injustice they suffered due to someone else’s negligence.

All cases are handled by experienced attorneys and not paralegals as is common in most law firms, and we are not afraid to litigate claims if we believe that this legal route will net our client the maximum allowable compensation by law. By contrast, most law firms simply engage the insurance company in settlement negotiations which usually end in the client receiving a paltry payout that does not match their injuries as well as the impact of the same on their life now and in the future.

In addition to having nationwide reach thanks to our network of trusted referral law firms and attorneys, we run a bilingual firm (hablamos Español), and we take on all cases on contingency fee basis, which simply means that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of the claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only if we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf.

If you got injured due to the negligent actions of others either in a car accident, at a construction site as a worker, during a sporting event, at an amusement park, at a community pool, in hospital due to a negligent physician or in any other way where you suspect negligence, please give us a call NOW at (314) 481-63338 to learn more about your legal options for justice and compensation – our intake team is standing by.

Is The Personal Injury Legal Process Stressful?

While we will handle litigation or discussions with the insurance company, it is important to note that your participation will still be needed in one way or another. Remember, a personal injury case isn’t just about filing documents and waiting for court dates; it is about your experiences, your personal story and the manner in which the injury has negatively impacted your life and that of your loved ones.

To this end, we will need the following from you:

1. Detailed accounts of the accident which includes the circumstances, what transpired immediately after, and any other relevant details.
2. Descriptions of how your injuries have impacted your daily life with regard to work, family life, hobbies and so on.
3. A thorough medical history which may include information on any pre-existing health issues as well as the journey surrounding your medical treatment post-accident.

In addition, your injury claim isn’t static, and as your recovery journey may evolve and medical treatments are added or removed from your file, you may experience unforeseen events or challenges.

Therefore, you will need to be in constant communication with us so we can be kept abreast of any new treatments, complications and medical requirements so we can adapt our strategies all done to ensure you get the most comprehensive compensation possible.

Here are vital phases of the personal injury process where your presence will be non-negotiable:

1. Initial consultations – Your first meetings with your attorney will be held in order to discuss the details surrounding your accident and injuries fully and in a transparent manner. This may take a couple of hours.
2. We will need you to provide all relevant documents on your person such as the police or accident report (we may help in securing these for you), medical records, both past and present, bills and receipts linked to your injury, photos or video of the accident scene, witnesses contact information, employment records so we can calculate lost wages, and the signing of medical releases so we can gather critical medical documentation on your behalf.
3. During the discovery phase we shall require you to provide us with written answers to interrogatories which are questions to the opposing side you must answer truthfully. We shall help you draft and refine these answers. Discovery may also include depositions where you will physically or orally answer questions from the opposing attorney under oath outside of court. You must physically be present during a deposition and it can last a few hours to a number of days or weeks in some cases.
