PLEASE NOTE: What is said and done immediately after the accident can have a decisive effect on the outcome of an auto accident injury case. As experienced St. Louis auto accident lawyer, I believe that everyone should know what to do when an automobile collision occurs. Remember, what you say can be used against you, so:

  • Do not give a statement to the other driver’s insurance representative outside of the presence of your lawyer.
  • Do not accept settlement with the other driver’s insurance company without first consulting your lawyer.

Simple rules to ensure your claim can be made:

  • Promptly see a doctor or go to a hospital if you are injured.
  • Keep a disposable camera in the glove compartment of your car. Take photographs of your injuries, if possible while you are in the hospital as well as at home. (Although these are highly personal in nature, such photographs are true and accurate depictions of your condition, and are persuasive to a jury.)
  • Report the event to the police and to your own insurance company.
  • Record the name, address and telephone number of any witnesses.
  • Notify your place of employment if you are unable to work.

Generally, an injured person must file their lawsuit within 5 years of sustaining the injury in Missouri. Oftentimes, an injury caused by a negligent party may not seem severe in the days after it is inflicted. But, it is still extremely important to contact a competent personal injury trial lawyer, like Michelle Funkenbusch, to discuss the possibilities of a case. If you do not seek proper medical attention and the competent counsel of a personal injury lawyer, you could be facing years of medical bills and pain… which could be prevented. You cannot assume the insurance company is going to pay what you deserve; they rarely do.
