Missouri Personal Injury Lawyer Gives Free Legal Advice to Car Wreck Victims

Missouri personal injury lawyer, Ryan Bradley with The Bradley Law Firm in St. Louis, Missouri has announced he is offering free legal advice to people who are injured in car wrecks. This includes people that caused the Missouri car wreck. "Even people who cause Missouri automobile crashes need good legal advice," says Mr. Bradley. "Many times, insurance companies put their insured at risk of losing their assets when they deny valid claims. People should realize they can make a written request to their insurance company to properly evaluate a personal injury claim and pay a claim within the policy limits of their policy."

If an insurer wrongfully evaluates a claim and a verdict is obtained in excess of an insured's policy, the insured's assets are at risk of being forfeited. The insured then may have a claim against their insurer for bad faith. Many times, the bad faith claim can be assigned to the injured party if they agree not to execute on the insured's assets.

It is truly a shame that insurance companies routinely put their financial interests ahead of their insureds. While insurance companies are entitled to run a profitable business, this should not be at the peril of their insureds. When good claims are denied and reasonable offers to settle are rejected, insurance companies should be forced to pay the entire claim. The insured should not bear the consequences of an insurance companies bad actions. If you believe you have been the victim of bad faith, please contact our law firm to discuss your rights for free.

A Tractor Trailer Accident Kills a Florida Woman on Interstate 70 in Columbia, Missouri

On October 7, 2007 around 3:30 a.m. on eastbound Interstate 70, a tractor trailer that was carrying mail rear-ended the vehicle of a Florida native woman causing her vehicle to catch fire. The tractor trailer then ran off the road and struck an embankment. The driver of the tractor trailer, who was identified as Jim Marchesi of Junction City, Kansas, was uninjured in this accident.

Police and firefighters who arrived at the scene found the car covered in flames in the eastbound lane. When they extinguished the flames, they found a deceased woman whose identity has not been released. Our deepest condolences go out the families of this tragic accident.

Accidents of this nature have unfortunately become very common in Missouri. It is imperative that tractor trailers and truck drivers keep a close eye on the road and their surroundings. With hauling such heavy loads, it's almost impossible for trucks to stop at the drop of a dime, which is why it is necessary for them to keep a safe distance between them and the car in front of them.

St. Louis Personal Injury Lawyer Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Arising From Car Accident in Knox County

St. Louis personal injury law firm The Bradley Law Firm filed a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of Raymond Russel in Knox County, Missouri arising from a horrible car accident involving Mr. Russel and his wife, Sandra.

Mr. and Mrs. Russell were run off the road in Knox County, Missouri by Judy Taylor. Both Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Russell were killed in this car wreck. Mr. Russell was the only survivor of this crash.

At this time, we are trying to determine if Ms. Taylor had insurance. The information gathered by the Missouri Highway Patrol indicated State Farm Insurance Company as her insurer. However, subsequent investigation revealed State Farm did not have a policy covering Mrs. Taylor. A deposition is set of Mr. Taylor to determine if in fact there was car insurance.

Attorney Ryan Bradley has added State Farm Insurance Company as a defendant in this lawsuit because they are the insurer for the Russells. If in fact there is no insurance covering the Taylor's vehicle, State Farm will be required to pay Mr. Russell for uninsured motorist coverage.

As more facts are discovered in this case, we will update the status. At this time, Mr. Russell is still recovering from his extensive injuries.

Plainville, Illinois Man Tragically Killed on U.S. 61 in Lewis County, Missouri

Floyd Bowles of Plainville, Illinois was tragically killed on September 28, 2007 when he suddenly stopped on U.S. 61 in Lewis County, Missouri. A car driven by Janet Hassen hit Mr. Bowles' vehicle from behind. According to authorities, Janet Hassen was transported by ambulance to Blessing Hospital in Quincy, Illinois. She was admitted and listed as having moderate injuries. Mr. Bowles was pronounced dead at the scene by Lewis County Coroner, Larry Arnold.

It is extremely important to watch the flow of traffic at all times. According to the Missouri state drivers' license testing rules, it is advised people travel one car length behind the car in front of them for every 10 miles per hour traveled. For example, if you are traveling 50 miles per hour, you should be 5 car lengths behind the car in front of you. Remember, this is a guideline only. If conditions are poor, you should increase this distance. Only under very unusual situations would it be wise to follow closer than this guideline.

The rules of the road exist for every one's safety. Please keep you and your family safe when traveling Missouri's roadways and follow the law.

Jefferson County, Missouri Car Accident at the Intersection of Route A and Route Z Results in Injury, No Personal Injury Lawyer Has Filed Claim

Laura Wiley was involved in a car accident when driving her vehicle eastbound on Route A. On September 26, 2007, Ms. Wiley failed to stop at a light and struck the driver’s side of James Thurman’s vehicle. Both Laura and James were transported to Jefferson Memorial Hospital and were both listed as having moderate personal injuries from the accident.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Laura Wiley was not issued a citation for failure to stop at stoplight or for not wearing a seat belt. There is no record of a personal injury lawsuit having been filed by Mr. Thurmond on Missouri's case system.

Many times, personal injury lawsuits are settled without having to file suit. However, insurance companies are beginning to severely restrict the information disseminated to lawyers and their clients. For instance, State Farm and other insurers will not disclose the policy limits carried by their insureds. These insurance companies claim they cannot do so because they do not have authority from their insured to give this information out. The reality is the insurer can release this information without any consent by an insured- they just choose not to. So, in order to obtain the information necessary to properly evaluate a claim, many Missouri personal injury lawyers simply file the lawsuits. Under Missouri law, this is information that is required to be given to the injured party. This has resulted in many lawsuits that ordinarily would not have been filed if this information would have been disclosed.

If you are in a car wreck, your insurance company is supposed to help you- not subject you to increased risk. However, many times, insurance companies are more worried about their own pocketbook rather than that of their insureds. When this happens, you need to talk to your own lawyer about entering into a RSMo 537.065 agreement with the injured party. Please check this site for a new article on Missouri insurance bad faith claims.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a Missouri car accident, call the personal injury lawyers at The Bradley Law Firm. We will evaluate your claim for free.
