After being injured in an accident, you may wonder if you have a case and how to proceed. You may have a case if you were injured due to negligent conduct or wrongdoing. Whether you were injured in a motorcycle accident or suffered a workplace injury, you may be owed money for the harm you endured.
Scheduling a free consultation with a law firm can help you understand whether you should move forward. An experienced attorney can evaluate whether you have a case and help you hold at-fault parties accountable.
After being injured in an accident, you shouldn’t have to deal with an additional financial burden. This is why Dickerson Oxton takes accident cases on a contingency fee basis, allowing you to secure qualified legal representation without upfront costs.
You are not required to pay the attorney’s fees if you lose. In a contingency fee arrangement, you only pay your attorney’s fees if you get compensation through a settlement or verdict award. After you win, your attorney will get an agreed-upon percentage of your awarded amount.
Each case is different. However, a few crucial factors determine the value of most cases.
The following factors can impact what your case is worth:
Your qualified attorney can evaluate your personal injury claim to determine what it’s worth and ensure you don’t settle for less than the amount you’re entitled to.
Missouri is a pure comparative negligence state. This allows you to still get compensation even if you were partially to blame for the accident. However, the amount you obtain will be reduced in proportion to your amount of wrongdoing. If your losses are valued at $50,000 and you are found to be 50% responsible, you may only recover $25,000.
Allegations of comparative fault can significantly impact your ability to obtain full compensation. A skilled attorney will combat allegations of comparative fault and maximize the amount you’re eligible to receive.
You typically have five years to file an injury lawsuit in Missouri. You also have three years to bring a wrongful death lawsuit after the loss of a loved one. You will be barred from receiving a monetary award entirely if you fail to bring your lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires.
As you focus on healing after your accident, it can be challenging to keep track of crucial deadlines in your case. Hiring an attorney can ensure that you comply with the applicable statute of limitations and file your case on time.
