What You’re Likely Facing

When clients come to us after an accident, they’re usually overwhelmed. Here’s what we often see:

  • Medical expenses from ER visits, therapy, specialists, and prescriptions

  • Emotional stress from pain, uncertainty, and financial pressure

You don’t have to figure this out alone. We help you understand your options and protect your rights from day one.

What Missouri Law Says About Fault and Insurance

Missouri follows a pure comparative fault system. This means if you’re partially at fault for the crash, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault—but you can still recover damages.

Missouri drivers are required to carry minimum auto insurance coverage of: – $25,000 for bodily injury per person – $50,000 for bodily injury per accident – $10,000 for property damage

Many cases involve negotiating with insurers who try to minimize payouts based on fault arguments. We push back with facts.

What NOT to Do After an Accident

Avoid these common mistakes that can hurt your case:

  • Don’t admit fault at the scene
  • Don’t skip medical treatment or delay care
  • Don’t post about your accident or injuries on social media
  • Don’t give a recorded statement to the insurance company without legal advice
  • Don’t accept a quick settlement without knowing your full medical outcome
