I have been approached by many personal injury victims involved in car accidents in truck crashes in Missouri who want to know if they should represent themselves against the insurance company.  On very few occasions do I ever recommend dealing directly with the insurance company when seeking compensation.  The analogy of bringing a knife to a gun fight is very appropriate here.  Unless you are uninjured and merely attempting to recover for the damage sustained to your vehicle, then dealing with the insurance company alone is an unfair proposition.  Victims of automobile accidents and Missouri truck crashes must understand that insurance adjusters are highly trained and skilled in the art of claim minimization.  In fact, many insurance companies reward the adjusters who minimize claim payouts by giving them all-expense paid trips and refrigerators for their offices. 

As a St. Louis Injury and Accident Attorney I know from experience how the insurance companies operate.  The never place the interests of the injury victim first.  Instead, insurance companies find ways to undervalue an injury claim.  Common explanations by the adjuster are:  1) there was a pre-existing medical condition that caused your injuries, 2) there was not significant damage to the vehicles and therefore you are not hurt, and 3) pain and suffering is not compensable.  All these explanations are usually without merit. 

If you have been injured in a Missouri car accident, motorcycle crash, or truck collision, contact a Missouri injury attorney who is experienced in dealing with the insurance companies.  Contact an attorney who knows how to even the scales and obtain fair compensation for your injuries.  Don't be victimized twice!  Contact St. Louis Car Accident Attorney Stephen Schultz at (314) 448-0934, or toll-free (866) 840-3636 and get your case evaluated personally.
