What You Might Need To Know About A Sedalia Personal Injury Attorney

By Mark Marabut


Anytime you have an accident because of someone elses negligence, you need to seek the advice of a Sedalia personal injury attorney. They can help you in many ways including making the responsible party pay for their mistakes. In most cases, it is not advised that you represent yourself in any court case. Using an attorney increases the chances of favorable ruling.

You have to file your case within five years. Missouri is also a pure comparative fault state - which means that if the court rules you were partially responsible for the accident, the damages will be dropped accordingly. However, Missouri has no cap on damages in negligent cases.

As a rule, it is best to file any claim as soon as possible. This ensures that the facts of the case are still fresh and witnesses still remember what happened. If you wait too long, aspects to the accident may be forgotten and it can hinder the case.

Most personal injury lawyers will not charge the potential client for the first visit. The initial visit is usually when the client will present facts of the claim and what happened. It is a good time to give the lawyer copies of hospital bills and proof of other monies that may be due.

Most injury cases are done on a contingency plan. This helps the client in two ways. The fees are waived and their services are paid when the client wins. The fees are then based on a percentage of the award or settlement.

If you have experienced injuries due to negligence, do not hesitate, call a good lawyer right away to find out what your options are. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisement.
