Tractor Trailer Truck Accident Case

Tractor trailers and big trucks are responsible for more than 25% of fatal vehicle accidents. Hundreds personal injury and wrongful death cases are filed by Missouri lawyers each year as a result of tractor trailer accidents.

Truck accidents are one of the biggest causes of death (wrongful death) for people under thirty-four.Over 40,000 people are killed every year in wrecks related to cars, trucks, tractor trailers, semis, and other large trucks.

Time Is Of The Essence

If you are involved in an accident with a big truck contact DAVID PAYNE LAW an experienced truck accident lawyer immediately to protect your rights!

This is crucial because:

The truck company and their insurance company will send representatives to the accident scene immediately; the truck company will call investigators to the crash scene (often before the police finish investigating); and the truck company may begin destroying records (I encounter this on a regular basis in truck accident cases).

If DAVID PAYNE LAW is contacted soon after the truck crash, we can take legal steps to prevent record destruction.

What is the difference between truck accident lawyers and lawyers in general?

How do I find a law firm with experienced truck accident attorneys?

Why was the truck driver taking photos of the truck accident scene?

Heparin Highlighted in Serious Drug-Reaction Report

Oh, how I cringe at hearing about negligent corporate behavior. Here is another unfortunate example. Hopefully, aggressive trial lawyers can attempt to hold those responsible acountable for there greed. According to a recent report released by the nonprofit Institute for Safe Medication Practices, the FDA received a record number of adverse drug-reaction reports in the first quarter of 2008. The FDA received almost 21,000 serious adverse reactions in the first three months of 2008 which included 4,800 deaths.

Also, Chantix, Pfizer’s anti-smoking drug, and the blood thinner heparin were the two drugs that accounted for highest number of serious problems.

Heparin, derived from pig intestines, is typically injected into patients to reduce the risk of blood clots in catheters or during kidney dialysis and cardiac surgery.

Baxter International, one of the largest producers of heparin in the U.S., announced the voluntary recall of nine lots of heparin on Jan. 17, 2008, after reports of allergic-type reactions in patients given the drug. A month later, the FDA released a statement indicating that some patients who received heparin injections suffered symptoms, sometimes fatal, ranging from nausea and diarrhea to shortness of breath, dangerously low blood pressure and allergic or hypersensitivity reaction.

Investigators with the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control subsequently announced that the drug had been contaminated with a chemically altered form of chondroitin sulfate at Chinese manufacturing facilities hired by Baxter.

If you have a loved one who has been injured or died after receiving heparin, contact David Payne Law. We can help. David Payne Law is a Missouri law firm that represents personal injury victims and their families.

Aurora Injury Law Southwest Missouri Accident Attorney

Do I still have a claim against someone else's insurance if my medical bills were paid by my insurance?

Under the collateral source rule in Missouri, you are entitled to be compensated for your medical bills regardless of whether they have been paid your health insurance. The same logic holds true for lost wages and other losses.

Will I hurt the person I am suing by bringing a personal injury claim against them or their insurance?

This is an often asked question by our personal injury clients who deserve compensation for injuries but are afraid that they will do harm to the person who caused their injuries. Virtually all injury claims are handled by insurance company lawyers and paid by insurance, so the person (or company) will not have to pay any money out of their own pocket unless the circumstances are out of the ordinary. Clients often have control as to where our office collects money.

How long will it take for me to receive a financial recovery in my case?

While a definitive answer who be nice here, there is no definite period of time in which a personal injury case will settle or go to trial. Every case has its very own unique set of facts. What we can promise: We will move your case forward towards settlement or verdict at trial in a manner that avoids any unnecessary delays.

Most cases settle and we need to wait until the patient has finished receiving medical care and treatment (or reached maximum medical improvement). We then order any and all remaining medical bills and underlying records from your health care providers. Then, we prepare and submit a demand package to the insurance company, letting them know what WE expect to resolve your claim. We usually receive an offer in a reasonable time period; if not we recommend filing a lawsuit.

Again, we take great care to diligently pursue your case with vigor hoping to eliminate any unnecessary delays and to resolve your injury case promptly.

Your case is our case! We will fight for you to get the highest possible recovery quickly.

We will do everything we can do to move your case forward.
