What is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim is a process of seeking legal action whereby an individual may have been harmed due to another party’s negligence and receive compensation for one’s damages. The main objective of such claims is to restore, both financially and emotionally, the injured party to the pre-accident position.

Common types of personal injury claims include:

• Car accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Workplace injuries
• Slip and fall incidents

In Missouri, filing a personal injury claim involves documenting the accident thoroughly, calculating your damages, and demonstrating the other party’s liability. To succeed, it’s critical to act within Missouri’s statute of limitations—typically five years from the date of the injury.

You must also make a plea that is fact-based on liability and the degree of damage on an individual personal injury claim, which would then include on-scene photographs at the accident site, witness statements, police reports, and in-depth medical treatment. Each of those pieces creates the complete case you are putting together in showing your damages, along with proof of liability from another party. In support of you with the trusted legal team, assured is the access to resources and the depth of knowledge one needs for constructing a very powerful claim.

Another critical part of a personal injury claim involves negotiation with insurance companies. Many times, insurance companies try to minimize what they pay out; it is important to have experienced representation to counter the low settlement offers. At our firm, we negotiate aggressively to make sure you get fair compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

What is a Personal Injury Litigation?

Personal injury litigation is the process that a claim goes through once settlement negotiations fail and it goes to court. It is the process where the case of the injured party is heard and determined by the judge or jury. While often time-consuming, this process may very well result in fair compensation to those whose claims have been denied or undervalued.

The steps in personal injury litigation may include the following:

1. Filing a formal complaint in court.
2. The discovery phase, during which the parties exchange evidence and information.
3. Mediation or pre-trial negotiations to attempt to settle.
4. Trial, where the case is presented in front of a judge or jury.

Generally, litigation is often the last recourse due to time and expenses incurred, but it may prove to be very effective in situations where negotiations have failed in order to come up with a satisfactory decision. The plaintiff’s attorney will present evidence of the defendant’s negligence and the extent of damages in litigation. Expert testimony may also include medical doctors or accident reconstructionists to further solidify the case.
