Union, MO Personal Injury Lawyer: FAQs

There are several things that need to get done if you want to win an injury case. To make a successful personal injury claim, you and your lawyer have to prove how the other party is liable, cause in fact, fault and financial, emotional and physical losses. Here are a few questions victims often ask about their situation:

• Can I afford a personal injury lawyer? Halvorsen Klote does not charge any up-front fees. Put simply, our Union, MO personal injury lawyers take a percentage of any case victory — called a contingency fee — and you don't pay unless we win.
• What should I do after an accident? The first step is to get medical assistance. Medical records are very important evidence. Even if you do not have serious symptoms, some injuries do not reveal themselves immediately, and delaying treatment could hurt your case.
• How much can I win after an accident? There are a number of variables when you calculate special and general damages. Damages may include medical treatment and physical therapy, property loss, loss of income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost earning potential, and others.
• What information do I need to give my attorney? It's important to keep track of everything. Any witness testimonies, the name of the ambulance company, medical records, names, dates, phone numbers, pictures, expenses, and other material go a long way in a personal injury case. This documentation helps us justify financial damages.
• What other questions should I ask before hiring a lawyer? There's a few things you should ask before deciding on a law firm. For example, Have you had this kind of case before? Do you go to trial? What's your fee? How much can I win? How long does it take to get a settlement? What if I was partially at-fault? What do you think my chances of winning are? Why? Again, the more information the better.
