Hurt in Kansas or Missouri? Do you need a personal injury lawyer?

If you’ve been injured, whether in a car accident, on the job, or while out and about, you probably have a lot of questions: “Should I take the insurance settlement?”, “Do I need a personal injury lawyer?”, “What can a lawyer do to help me?”, “How much will it cost?”, “Will I get a better settlement if I do this alone?”.

Honestly, you don’t always need a lawyer. If the injury and property damage are minor, and the costs are low, you can probably represent yourself. However, if you have sustained serious injury and you need help immediately, or the accident has left you with a lot of bills, a lawyer can help.

Generally, if the damages are more than your insurance deductible or more than the small claims limit for your state ($3,000 in MO and $4,000 in KS), it is worth your time to consult with an attorney. Many persona l injury law firms offer a free consultation. At the consultation, a lawyer will assess your legal situation. First, he’ll listen to your story and ask questions. Then, he’ll explain the legal issues involved in your personal injury case. He’ll tell you what your claim is worth and if any settlement you are being offered is fair. He can advise you on the best way to proceed with your case whether you decide to handle it alone or hire the firm.

Once you hire a law firm, an attorney will gather additional evidence, information and reports. This may include medical records, police reports and other documentation of the accident. He’ll also locate and interview witnesses to the accident. The attorney can negotiate with the insurance companies on your behalf and, if necessary, represent you in court. Accident victims who work with an attorney typically receive much higher settlements than those who do not.
