The Legal Process: What to Expect

What is Personal Injury Litigation?

Personal injury litigation is the legal process of seeking compensation when someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions cause you harm. If you’ve been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, or any other incident in Missouri and Illinois, personal injury law allows you to recover damages for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.

Step 1: Case Investigation 

Our personal injury attorneys investigate your accident, gather evidence, review medical records, and determine who is responsible for your injuries. We handle all the paperwork and legal requirements while you focus on recovery.

Step 2: Insurance Negotiations

Most personal injury cases are resolved through negotiations with insurance companies. We deal directly with insurance adjusters, so you don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing or accepting a lowball settlement offer.

Step 3: Filing a Lawsuit (If Necessary) 

If insurance companies refuse to offer fair compensation, we can file a personal injury lawsuit in court. Many cases still settle during this phase, but we’re prepared to take your case to trial if needed.

Step 4: Resolution 

Whether through settlement or trial verdict, our goal is to secure maximum compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Types of Compensation Available

In Missouri and Illinois personal injury cases, you may be entitled to:

  • Medical expenses (past and future treatment costs)
  • Lost wages (time missed from work due to injury)
  • Pain and suffering (physical and emotional distress)
  • Property damage (vehicle repairs or replacement)
  • Loss of earning capacity (if injuries affect your ability to work)
Why You Need a Personal Injury Attorney

Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working to minimize your claim. Without legal representation, you’re at a significant disadvantage. Our personal injury attorneys level the playing field, ensuring your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you deserve under Missouri and Illinois law.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the insurance company is offering me a low settlement?

Don’t accept the first offer from insurance companies. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, often offering settlements that don’t cover your full medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our personal injury attorneys know how to negotiate with insurance companies and will fight for the compensation you truly deserve. Contact us before signing anything.

In Missouri and Illinois, a personal injury case arises when a person suffers harm due to someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. Common examples include car accidents, slip and falls, workplace injuries, dog bites, and medical malpractice. To have a valid claim, the injured party must show that another person or entity had a legal duty, failed to uphold that duty, and caused measurable harm as a result. Missouri and Illinois law allows injured individuals to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages.

First, seek medical attention even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured – this is especially important for accidents on busy highways like I-270 or I-64. Document the accident scene, gather witness information, and contact the police. Avoid discussing fault with insurance companies before speaking with a personal injury attorney. Contact us for a free consultation to protect your rights.
