Missouri Auto Accident & Motorcycle Laws

Bus Accident Attorney | Missouri

Spencer Farris

 

Between school buses, public transportation and charter buses, we see buses on the road every day. And because there are more and more buses, there are more and more bus accidents. Although buses cost many times what an average passenger car does, they don’t often have the simple safety devices that we take for granted, when we buckle up to go to the grocery store. If you’re in a bus accident, whether it’s because a negligent driver struck your bus, or because your bus driver wasn’t paying attention and hurt you, it’s important to contact an attorney immediately. There are limits to insurance in all bus cases, and making sure that your claim is made is important. Call my office at the number on your screen, or visit us on the internet if you’ve been injured due to a bus accident. I am happy to visit with you, without any cost or obligation. Call 314-A-LAWYER today, for your free consultation.

Who is at Fault For My Slip & Fall | Missouri

Spencer Farris

 

Any time a grownup falls in Missouri, there is an opportunity for the jury to blame you for not paying attention. Because of that, slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall type cases are the type that I’ve tried more than any other in my history as a Missouri slip-and-fall lawyer. Whether it’s on snow and ice, or a spilled yogurt at the grocery store, or any number of other things, you’re responsible to look out. And because of that, the insurance company is going to want to blame you for your incident and say you’re at fault for falling. Call a professional, call a Missouri slip-and-fall lawyer, and get the help you need when you’ve injured yourself, to take care of your medical bills and to pay for the bills that are going to continue to come in while you can’t work.  When you’ve been hurt and the bills are racking up, you don’t have to pay a lawyer out-of-pocket to represent you in your injury case. Call my office, and if we can help you we won’t charge you anything until the end of your case, if we’re successful for you. Call 314-A-LAWYER today for a free consultation.

What to Be Aware of When Representing Yourself in a Personal Injury Case |…

Spencer Farris

 

You’ve been hurt, and you’re thinking that maybe you can handle your case without a personal injury attorney. Let me tell you some things you should look out for. Injury Law News, brought to you by the S.E. Farris Law Firm. I’m Spencer Farris-a partner at the S.E. Farris Law Firm. Folks call me all the time and wonder if they even need to have a personal injury attorney represent them in their claim. Maybe not. And I tell folks daily how to handle their own cases. But there are some things you need to be aware of. First and most important is the Statute of Limitations. Every case has a time limit, and it must be filed within the time limit or you forever lost your case. The law changes, and the law of medical bills and damages has changed in the last several years. You need to know what that is in order to present your case to a jury. Your health insurance is going to want to be reimbursed for the medical bills that they’ve paid for on your behalf. They may not be entitled to reimbursement. Whether or not they are is a question that you need to find the answer to. The insurance company has professionals looking out to investigate your case and try to find a way to pay you as little money as possible. Some folks are able to deal with the insurance company and able to handle their own cases. Most are not. In fact, studies show that people with an attorney get four to five times more money on their injury case than those without. You may have questions about handling your own personal injury case. Call my office and I’m happy to visit with you without cost or obligation. I tell folks everyday that they don’t need an attorney to handle their case, and point them in the right direction, and I’m happy to do that for you. Thank you for watching. The S.E. Farris Law Firm is dedicated to the needs of injury victims and their families.

Brain Injuries | Missouri

Spencer Farris

 

Traumatic brain injuries, or brain injuries of any kind, are some of the most devastating injuries. And when you have a big injury, there’s not enough money for what you’re going through. You need to hire a Missouri brain injury attorney to help get as much as possible for your family, because you only have one opportunity to go back and get your damages. Insurance companies track everything. They track what juries pay, they track what medical bills cost, and they track what lawyers are willing to try cases. Over my career, I’ve tried over a hundred lawsuits to juries. Insurance companies know that and they track that. The lawyers that you see on television may have never entered the courtroom, may have never tried a case, and the insurance companies know it and they pay more to lawyers that will force them to pay more. When you hire my law firm, my name is on the door and I’m on the bottom line. I’m responsible to every client. Whether I am writing the letters or whatever’s going out the door, I’m responsible. The insurance company knows that as a small shop and as a small law firm, they have to treat me just like they have to treat the big law firms; we’re going to bring the big guns. When you’ve been hurt and the bills are racking up, you don’t have to pay a lawyer out of pocket to represent you in your injury case. Call my office and if we can help you, we won’t charge you anything until the end of your case if we’re successful for you. Call 314-A-LAWYER today for a free consultation.

Impact of Different Health Insurance Providers on Medical Bills | Missouri

Spencer Farris

 

I got a call from a lady the other day who wanted to know how her medical bills were going to be paid after her injury.

Injury Law News brought to you by the S.E. Farris Law Firm.

I’m Spencer Farris and I represent injury victims in the state of Missouri. I get that kind of call a lot from folks who are worried about their rising medical bills and the daily mail that they get with another bill collector looking for payment. And this is what I typically tell them.

Medicare

Senior citizens and folks on social security disability are covered by Medicare and Medicare will pay the medical bills as they are incurred. However, Medicare gets part of their money back from your injury case at the end. Your lawyer will have to negotiate that for you because Medicare will want dollar for dollar on what they spend.

Medicaid

Children in Missouri who don’t have private health insurance, and some adults, are covered by Missouri Medicaid. And Medicaid also will pay Medical bills and, at the end of your lawsuit, they will expect to be repaid. However, a judge can reduce or totally eliminate your payback to Medicaid. You’ll need your lawyer to help you with that.

Private Insurance

The other group that frequently pays medical bills in Missouri is private insurance and private insurance will ask for repayment almost always. Unless they are a special plan, a self-funded union plan or something along those lines that is governed by federal law, they’re not entitled to reimbursement. The word that they will say is subrogation, which means they stand in your shoes and get to collect their money back from the person who hurt you. Make sure that your lawyer is well aware and willing to fight for you so that you don’t have to pay back the health insurance. And this isn’t cheating. You paid benefits to get the health insurance. You wrote a check every month. They shouldn’t get their money back just because they did what they promised to do.

No Insurance

Finally, there are a lot of folks that don’t have any health insurance. And in those situations, hospitals and doctors will treat you on what’s called a lien basis. Hospitals don’t have to see you unless you’re in an emergency. But, experienced trial lawyers can help you find a doctor who will treat you on a lien basis and will make sure that your doctor understands that they will get paid.

When you’ve been hurt, the most important thing is to feel better and not be worried about how you’re going to pay for your medical bills. Remember that a trial lawyer who cares about his clients will fight for you and fight to put money in your pocket, rather than spend it all on the health care that you wouldn’t have needed but for your injury. If you have questions about medical care or how to pay for it after an injury, call my office or reach us at the website at the bottom of the screen. I’m happy to visit with you without any cost or obligation and hopefully help put your mind at rest.

Dangerous Road Conditions | St. Louis Personal Injury

Spencer Farris

 

Truck Accident Litigation

Sometimes car crashes occur due to circumstances that the driver has nothing to do with. If the road on which you are riding has been improperly built or maintained or if the surface itself has been allowed to erode and degrade over time, it makes the road more dangerous to automobile drives and truckers that use those roads. One way to know if the area where your crash occurred is improperly designed or negligently maintained is if there have been several crashes in a short period of time at that stretch of highway. If you have questions about a dangerous piece of highway or roadway, call my office at the number on the screen or you can reach us through the contact form on the internet. I’m happy to visit with you at any time without any cost or obligation. Call 314-A-LAWYER today for your consultation.

Should I Sue For My Injury | Missouri

Spencer Farris

 

Insurance companies do a good job of making us feel guilty for hiring a Missouri personal injury lawyer. When you get your statement each month you read about frauds. And whether those stories are true or not in the back of your mind you think, I don’t want to be like that. The first word that most folks say when they call my office is, “I’ve never sued anyone before. Or I’m not the kind of person that sues.” You’ve already figured in the back of your mind that every lawsuit is fake even before you get hurt. And you know your case is real. And you know your injuries are real. You should always know that the insurance company is going to try to underpay those cases and those claims if you don’t have a Missouri personal injury lawyer fighting for you on your side. When you’ve been hurt and the bills are racking up, you don’t have to pay a lawyer out of pocket to represent you in your injury case. Call my office. And if we can help you we won’t charge you anything until the end of your case if we’re successful for you. Call 314-A-LAWYER today for free consultation.
