St. Peters may be small and idyllic, but it sees its fair share of car accidents. Statistics from the Missouri Department of Transportation show that in three years, the city recorded 17 traffic accident fatalities and 80 accidents resulting in serious injuries. Serious accidents are particularly common on high-volume highways like I-70 and I-64. Some of the most common injuries that result from St. Peters’ area car accidents include:
Dog bites in St. Charles County and St. Peters can cause many severe injuries, such as:
Insurance companies are for-profit companies. It is not in their best interest to offer significant payouts to injured people, as those payouts can cut profit margins. They prefer to settle quickly and for as little money as possible. This strategy works because injured accident victims often don’t know what their claim is worth, or they are vulnerable and desperate for money to pay their medical bills and other expenses.
An attorney can help you by taking the time to accurately assess the value of your claim before aggressively negotiating on your behalf for the money you deserve. Every accident is unique, and factors like the cause of the crash and the severity of a person’s injuries can affect the value of the claim. These elements also influence your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome in an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.
Missouri law gives car accident victims five years from the accident date to file a civil lawsuit. That may sound like ample time, but when insurance companies won’t offer an appropriate settlement despite lengthy negotiations, you may find the deadline approaching and passing before you know it. Additionally, the longer you wait to file a lawsuit, the more challenging it may become to collect and preserve the evidence and witness statements necessary to build a strong case. Failing to file before the legal deadlines means you lose leverage against an insurer and, potentially, the ability to go to court. Cases filed after the deadline face dismissal.
