Most people think filing an accident claim with an insurer is straightforward. Commercials show how filing a claim is as easy as clicking a few buttons on your phone. In reality, navigating the insurance claim process following an accident caused by someone else can be confusing and complicated. Insurers must maintain profit margins, which means they need to move through claims quickly and settle for as little as possible. Your health, expenses, and financial stability are not at the top of their agenda.
When you work with a skilled injury attorney, your well-being is a priority. At Holland Injury Law, we protect you from the potentially aggressive tactics used by insurers to get you to settle for less than what your claim may be worth. We focus on collecting evidence and building a solid claim that puts you in the best position to recover the money you deserve. When an insurer refuses to negotiate in good faith, we are ready to file a lawsuit on your behalf.
When someone causes an accident due to careless behavior, you shouldn’t be left to pick up the pieces on your own. You deserve fair compensation for your injuries, and the at-fault parties deserve to be held accountable.
At Holland Injury Law, we want to work with you to recover meaningful compensation for your financial losses and get you back to a place where you feel confident about moving forward with your life. Our legal team has the knowledge and resources to aggressively represent O’Fallon and St. Charles County accident victims and manage cases such as:
Determining the fair value of an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit can be difficult. Discussing your situation with a skilled injury lawyer before accepting money from anyone post-accident is best. Your attorney will review the specifics of your situation before accurately calculating the value of your losses. Factors such as the cause of the accident, the severity of your injuries, the amount of lost wages you have because you couldn’t work, and specific Missouri laws can impact the compensation you may recover for your financial losses. Your attorney will consider these factors and more when evaluating your case.
Unfortunately, accident victims are tempted to settle for whatever the insurance company offers. Often, people are desperate to reclaim some control and stability over their situation and mistakenly believe that the insurer is offering fair compensation for their injuries. Most initial offers are significantly lower than what a claim may be worth. Not only will your attorney take the time to calculate the actual value of your claim, but they can also aggressively negotiate on your behalf, allowing you to avoid the pitfalls of the insurer’s self-interested settlement tactics.
Working with an attorney from day one is also beneficial in case an insurer fails to negotiate in good faith. We are prepared to fight for you at Holland Injury Law, taking your case to court when necessary.
Another reason you need to hire an attorney to manage your case as soon as possible is because of the time limits placed on filing personal injury lawsuits in Missouri. In Missouri, you have five years from the accident date to file a civil lawsuit seeking compensation for your injuries and financial losses. Five years may sound like plenty of time to get your situation under control, but it can go by in the blink of an eye. The longer you wait, the more challenging it may become to secure the evidence and witness statements needed to build a robust case.
An attorney can manage strict legal deadlines for you and help keep your case on track. Failing to file a lawsuit within the specified window jeopardizes your ability to recover maximum compensation. First, you lose negotiating leverage with the insurer. You can also lose the ability to have your case heard by a judge or jury. Lawsuits filed after the legal deadline expires face dismissal by the court.
If you’ve been in an accident in O’Fallon, you may find these resources useful:
Non-economic damages compensate you for less tangible losses. Pain and suffering fit in this category. If you aren’t able to live your life as you did before the accident, you can also claim loss of enjoyment of life.
If the accident caused severe disabilities to a loved one or resulted in their death, it’s possible to claim loss of consortium as well. This compensates you for the loss of support and companionship you’ve suffered.
At Holland Injury Law, we have recovered over $300 Million for our 7,000+ clients. We aim to deliver results and help injured accident victims in the O’Fallon and St. Charles County communities rebuild their lives.
