When you have been seriously injured in a car or truck accident, slip and fall or another type of accident, questions abound: what if you are off work for an extended period of time? who pays the medical bills for your injuries? will you be disabled and able to return to work? Do you need to retain a personal injury lawyer and when should that take place?
The shortest answer to this last question is as soon as possible.
Like us, many personal injury attorneys offer an initial free consultation with a lawyer to help you determine if you have a legal claim against the person (or persons) who caused your accident.
Of course, every case is different so use this time to tell us about your accident but also to make a determination as to whether we are the right attorney for you.
Obtaining your medical records can be crucial to your personal injury case. They can be used to help prove an accident caused your injuries and document the severity of them in order to recover your medical expenses when you’ve been seriously injured in a car or truck accident caused by another driver.
Have you suffered serious injuries in a car or truck accident where the other driver was at-fault? When planning to recover damages from the responsible party, your medical records can be one of the most important elements of a personal injury claim.

Pandemic or not, accidents still happen. Essential employees are still driving to and from work. Truck drivers are on the road delivering goods.

The popularity of having groceries delivered has grown tremendously. Instacart, Shipt, Peapod and many others make it easy to buy from Aldi’s, Hy-Vee, Price Chopper, Sprouts and more. The appeal: contactless delivery, social distancing, and avoiding long check-out lines and crowded stores. It is, however, a popular convenience that means more delivery drivers on our Kansas City roads.
After a serious truck or car accident, you may focus on the physical injuries. You can see them; others can see them. It is obvious that you have been hurt in the accident.
