Who Is Responsible For Your Accident?
We conduct a prompt investigation to establish the driver’s negligence and identify sources of insurance coverage. Was the person texting while driving or otherwise distracted? Was the truck driver fatigued or driving aggressively? If a drunk driver hit you, we can explore a possible “dram shop” lawsuit against the bar or restaurant that served them (Missouri only). If you were injured in a hit-and-run or by an uninsured driver, we can pursue compensation under your own auto policy.
We are not afraid to stand up to insurance companies, trucking firms, liquor establishments and other entities in pursuit of your compensation. While most cases are settled out of court, we are prepared to go to trial if necessary to get a good result for our client.

Steps To Protect Your Rights After A Car Accident
- Call 911 if anyone is seriously injured.
- Get the other driver’s contact and insurance information.
- Take photos/video of the vehicles, the accident scene and your injuries.
- See a doctor even if you think your injuries are minor.
- Document your symptoms and medical treatment.
- Contact a personal injury lawyer sooner than later.
- You must report the accident to your insurance but stick to the basic facts.
- If you are contacted by an insurance adjuster, do not give a statement, sign a waiver or agree to a settlement before talking to an attorney.
We will take it from there. Your job is to focus on healing. Our legal team will deal with the insurance companies and legal matters.
