Rear end collisions – the most common type of accident in Missouri

What is the best way to seek compensation for my injuries suffered in a Kansas City rear end accident?

Missouri is a fault-based auto insurance state, which means that you generally file a car accident claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company to recover damages. If you were the driver who rear ended the car in front of you, you will likely have to turn to your own insurance company for recovery. However, if another driver cut you off and striking his car from behind was unavoidable, or you were in a chain reaction accident, another driver could be at fault.

If another party caused the accident, you can file a claim with that party’s insurer. After the crash, get the other driver’s name, contact information, and insurance policy information. Call the insurer to report the accident and begin the claims process.

If fault is disputed or you run into problems getting your settlement, you have the right to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.

Do I need an attorney to help me file my Kansas City rear end accident claim?

While you are allowed to file a claim or suit on your own, it is highly advisable to discuss your legal options with an attorney before you provide a statement to the insurance adjuster and before you move forward with a claim. This is especially true if you have substantial damages or if your injuries are hard to prove (e.g., whiplash). Negligence claims require a good amount of proof – not only to pinpoint fault/liability, but also to demonstrate your injuries and damages. Finding evidence to support your claim may be hard, but a lawyer can help.

In addition, you may not be fully aware of the damages to which you are entitled. A Kansas City car accident attorney can assist you with every aspect of your claim, make sure you account for the full extent of your damages, and counsel you so that you do not unwittingly make any missteps that might hurt your case.
