Our Greater Kansas City area personal injury attorney understands that there are some instructions that apply to all injury clients, specifically dealing with mediation, uninsured / underinsured driver and claims against the government. We understand that no two injuries are alike, and want you to be as informed as possible.
We have provided the full list of instructions for injury clients on our website, as well as several other blogs on various injury topics.
Disputing a personal injury claim in mediation
There are occasions when parties submit the dispute to mediation. The parties meet with an independent third person, usually an experienced lawyer or retired judge, who assists the parties in arriving at a settlement. The results are not binding. It is information and less expensive than a trial. If this is an option in your case, your personal injury attorney in Liberty will discuss it with you, and walk you through that process.
Uninsured & underinsured personal injury claims
If you were hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, you may be eligible for benefits under your own policy or the policy that covered the vehicle you were in. Many insurance companies have special “uninsured motorist” provisions. In most cases, you will be able to collect for your lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, etc., in the same way as if the driver that hit you did have insurance. We ask that you provide your personal injury attorney in Liberty with a complete copy of your own active insurance policy at the time of the accident.
Personal injury claims involving government workers
And finally, any personal injury claim, whether it stems from a car collision or other event that involves the government, is subject to special rules. The governmental entity involved may be that state, a city, a county, local government, or the United States. Generally, a Notice of Claim must be filed with the appropriate governmental agency very soon following your injury. If you believe that the government may be involved in your case, please notify your personal injury attorney in Liberty immediately.
