Manchester, MO Personal Injury Lawyer

An injury can happen in an instant, but the results can be a temporary disruption to your life or cause permanent disability. When the injury occurred due to someone else’s careless, reckless, or wrongful action, it’s even more devastating. Unfortunately, over 43 million emergency room visits happen nationwide each year due to accidental injuries.

If you or a close family member experienced an injury caused by someone else, you may be facing expensive medical bills at the same time you’ve missed work days or are unable to return to your job.

What Causes Injuries Named In Missouri Personal Injury Lawsuits?

Under Missouri 537.058, the law describes tort-feasors, or the defendants in personal injury or wrongful death claims, as follows:

“Any person claimed to have caused or contributed to cause personal injury, bodily injury, or wrongful death to a claimant.”

The attorneys at Miller & Hine represent clients who suffer injuries caused by another party’s negligence in cases such as the following:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• E-scooter accidents
• Boating accidents
• Train accidents
• Premises liability accidents, such as apartment fires, pool injuries, slip-and-falls, staircase injuries, and elevator accidents
• Workplace injuries
• Trampoline park accidents
• Nursing home abuse
• Medical malpractice
• Catastrophic injuries such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic limb loss

Wrongful death claims also fall under personal injury laws in Missouri, but are filed by a surviving spouse, parent, child, or personal representative.

What Can I Get From a Personal Injury Claim In Manchester?

Injuries are expensive as well as painful. While no legal process can undo an injury, a successful personal injury claim recovers compensation for losses such as the following:

• Reimbursement for medical expenses
• Anticipated future medical costs (often based on medical expert testimony)
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Lost earnings
• Future income loss or lowered future earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Catastrophic injury damages apply to cases of limb loss, vision damage, hearing loss, organ loss, permanent scarring, or loss of enjoyment of life/diminished quality of life due to disability or chronic pain

Wrongful death compensation for economic losses to family members is awarded in personal injury-wrongful death claims.
