This is a question most Missouri injury victims face when they are involved in several types of potentially actionable claims, such as:

• Automobile Accidents
• Tractor-trailer (semi-trucks, 18-wheelers) Accidents
  
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Bus Accidents
• Dog Bites
• Defective Products
• Slip & Fall Accidents
• Missouri Death Claims

The situation is often times stressful.  You have the incident itself that caused the personal injuries, and then you have the insurance adjuster that typically calls a few days later and begins his/her goal of minimizing your injury claim.  Essentially, you are set up to victimized twice.

Statistics provide that those who retain the legal services of a Missouri Accident & Injury Lawyer received 3x-5x more compensation that those victims who choose to deal with the defendant's insurance company directly.  So what types of claims can you handle without the services of a personal injury lawyer?  Very minimal claims involving very little property damage and no personal injuries can usually be handled by the victim on his/her own.  When you add personal injuries to the equation, it is always beneficial to, at the very least, consult the legal advice from a Missouri personal injury attorney.

Understand that insurance adjusters are highly trained and skilled at dealing with both injury and property damage claims.  Ask yourself this question:  Does the insurance adjuster really have MY best interests in mind, or that of his managers and stockholders?  The answer is obvious.  I encourage any injury victim to visit the Schultz Legal Group article on How Insurance Companies Adjust Claims.  Contact St. Louis Accident and Injury Lawyer Stephen Schultz at (866) 840-3636, (314) 448-0934, or by email to discuss your injury claim.
