Hazelwood, MO Personal Injury Lawyer: Frequently Asked Questions

You and your lawyer need to do a few things if you want to get compensation. To win a tort (injury) case, you're going to have to prove negligence, causation, fault and how the injury has affected you financially, emotionally and physically. Below are a few questions victims often ask about their situation:

• Can I afford a personal injury lawyer? Our attorneys do not charge any up-front fees. Put simply, our Hazelwood, MO personal injury lawyers are paid with a portion of the final compensation you recover — called a contingency fee — and you don't pay unless we win.
• What should I do after an accident? It's important to go to a hospital or see your primary care physician. Medical records are extremely important if you are filing a claim and hoping to get reimbursed. Even if you do not have serious symptoms, having a written document will help your case.
