Aurora, Lawrence County, Table Rock Lake Injury Lawyer
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.
