Question 1

What do you do after a car accident that wasn't your fault?

Accepted Answer

If you are injured, seek medical attention as soon as possible. After assessing your injuries – or lack thereof – make sure you obtain the information from the other driver that you will need to provide to the lawyer you retain. Always get their name, address, telephone number, insurance company that insures the car they are driving, the other driver’s license plate number and any names and telephone numbers of witnesses to the accident.

Question 2

Is it worth getting a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

That depends. I always suggest that you discuss your potential claim with an attorney to answer this question.

Question 3

Do insurance adjusters lie?

Accepted Answer

While I do not believe I have ever been lied to by an insurance adjuster, it is certainly possible. The real question is, “How do I know if the insurance adjuster is lying?” The answer is to hire an attorney who is qualified to recognize untruths or statements that are less than credible. At the Law Office of Daniel E. Stuart, P.A., we have over fifty years of combined experience, including former representation of insurance companies to help prosecute your personal injury claim.

Question 4

Should I get an attorney for an auto accident?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you need to have a tooth pulled you can do it yourself, but ask if that’s the best decision or should you consult with a dentist.

Question 5

What Causes Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)?

Accepted Answer

Among the leading causes of TBI are falls, motor vehicle crashes and traffic-related accidents, being struck by or against an object, and assaults.

Question 6

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

Accepted Answer

If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence, such as in a car accident, truck accident, slip and fall incident, or dog bite, you may have a valid personal injury claim. These types of cases require showing that another party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries as a result. Medical records, accident reports, and witness statements often serve as key pieces of evidence. Claims can cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Speaking with our personal injury lawyers can help determine the strength of your case and whether or now pursuing legal action is the right choice for you.

Question 7

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

Accepted Answer

In Kansas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. In Missouri, you generally have five years to file a personal injury lawsuit. This includes cases involving car accidents, slip and fall incidents, dog bite injuries, and more. However, specific situations, like medical malpractice or injuries to minors, may follow different rules. It’s important to act quickly so that critical evidence is preserved and your rights are protected.
