Injury

The period following an injury is difficult for both the victim and the victim’s family. So many issues must be addressed at a time when you are least able to handle them. Injury victims often must immediately seek medical attention and may also be faced with arraigning for the care of their family if incapacitated

In addition to determining whether the accident was the result of negligence, a personal injury lawyer can help you identify all of your losses — including recovering medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and compensation for permanent injury.

Of course, the first step is to get the medical attention you need. Then, as soon as possible, contact experienced attorneys to find out your options and protect your rights.

What Lear Werts LLP can do for you

At Lear Werts, in Columbia, Missouri, our injury attorneys, Brad Lear and Todd Werts, are committed to helping every client get fair compensation for his or her loss and to helping with the many issues that accompany a serious injury or fatality.

If you have been injured because of the negligent or intentional act of another, you should discuss your situation with Lear Werts before accepting an insurance company's settlement offer. While you need fair compensation to take care of yourself and your family, you also need time to heal, and not rush into talking with an insurance adjuster about policies and liabilities. At your initial free consultation, we will explain your legal options and suggest a course of action. We can handle many injury cases, including the following:

• Car crashes: The attorneys at Lear Werts investigate all sources of compensation for clients who have been injured in auto and other vehicle accidents.
• Tractor-trailer crashes: We understand the unique issues of tractor-trailer accidents, and make sure your rights are protected.
• Motorcycle crashes: We understand the extent of injuries and special circumstances of motorcycle accidents, and work hard to get you the compensation you deserve.
• Slip and falls: When failure to properly maintain premises results in injury, we know how to collect the evidence you need to receive fair compensation.
• Workers’ compensation: We analyze the circumstances of your workplace injury to identify if you are entitled to third-party claims in addition to worker's compensation.
• Traumatic brain injury: Severe brain injuries often result in long-term or even permanent disability. We make sure your needs are compensated as long as needed, and we make sure your family's needs are compensated as well.
• Spinal injuries: When you are disabled permanently or for an extended period due to an injury of the spine, we work to win compensation that will take care of your medical injury as well as the future needs of yourself and your family.
• Dangerous roadways: When improperly maintained roads result in an accident and possible injury, we know how to find out who is liable and work to obtain compensation for your losses.
