FAQ

Should I accept the insurance company’s settlement offer? 

If the insurance company pops up with an early settlement offer, assume that it’s hoping to finalize your claim before you’re fully aware of the damages you’ve suffered. 

What if I share fault in the accident? 

Don’t assume that you are at fault just because the insurance company says you are. This is a common insurance ploy. Additionally, in Missouri, even if you share a specific percentage of fault in the accident that leaves you injured, you have the right to seek the percentage of compensation that the other driver is responsible for. 

What are damages for pain and suffering? 

Pain and suffering is a category of damages that refers to the physical pain and the emotional anguish you suffer as a result of the car accident.
