Car accidents are serious and often result in permanent injury.  Even a "soft-tissue" injury can be deemed serious and any first-rate orthopedist will opine that soft-tissue disc trauma is in fact a permanent injury.  Victims of car accidents are vulnerable. This creates a potential issue when it comes time for the victim to discuss the claim with an insurance claims adjuster.  The victim, having little to no knowledge of the law, enters into any conversation with an insurance adjuster on an unequal footing.  Insurance adjusters are highly trained and do have a general knowledge of the law in Missouri.  That doesn't necessarily mean that the adjuster plans to share that knowledge with the victim.  Our St. Louis car accident attorneys find that often times an insurance adjuster will misguide the victim into believing that the claim must be settled immediately or else "the file will be closed."

Big insurance companies bet on the odds that most injury victims will not retain a car accident injury lawyer to represent their claim.  The victims that eventually do retain a lawyer are benefited many times over by legal representation.  Most people do not understand all of the types of compensation that are available under Missouri law.  As such, never discuss your car accident with an insurance claims adjuster.  Never accept a settlement without first consulting with a St. Louis Car Accident Lawyer.
