No one is ever “better off” having been injured by someone else’s negligence.  But the Missouri attorneys of our law firm can help navigate the various problems that will arise and work with you to maximize your recovery following a serious personal injury caused by someone else’s negligence.

What to do if injured in an accident

Of course, the first step after an accident or injury is to make sure everyone involved is safe and to get needed medical attention.  Only then, should you contact experienced attorneys to find out your options and protect your rights. 

In the Injury section of the website, you will find information about the common types of personal injury cases, how the Columbia Missouri law firm Lear Werts approaches those issues, and links to examples of cases that our law firm has handled.  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 arranging for the care of their family if incapacitated. 

The informational section of our website contains detailed information about how our experienced personal injury lawyers handle motor vehicle accidents of various types, including Car Crashes, Tractor-Trailer Crashes, and Motorcycle Crashes.  Though there are certain similarities in motor vehicle personal injury claims, there are also key differences that an injured person should know about.  Some of those distinctions – though by no means all – are addressed in pages of the Injury section of the site.  In addition, we have provided information about other types of common Missouri personal injury claims, such as Slip and Falls, Dangerous Roadways, and Workers Compensation.  This section of the website also contains information on certain types of injuries that typically require specialized consideration in a personal injury case – namely Traumatic brain injuries and Spinal injuries. Finally, you will find a relatively comprehensive outline of the different types of Insurance coverage that must be considered by a Missouri personal injury lawyer and the prospective client.

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.
