Punitive damages are sometimes called exemplary damages. Those are the damages that a jury awards to punish the defendant for bad acts, and to keep other folks from repeating those kinds of acts.

I talked to a man yesterday who had dropped his case because he didn’t think he could afford a lawyer. Let me tell you what I told him. 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 don’t plan to get hurt at work or anywhere else. Therefore they don’t set aside money for attorney fees. Then when something bad happens, they think, “I can’t afford an attorney.” But you can and here’s how. Most qualified injury attorneys in Missouri work on what’s called a contingent fee, which means the lawyer doesn’t get paid until the end of your case if they’re successful for you. The lawyer pays the expenses of litigation as you go. Again, they don’t get their money back unless they’ve been successful for you. It’s important then to hire an attorney. Studies show that folks with lawyers get four to five times more money than those without. Insurance companies know it too. That’s why they’ll offer you a quick settlement before you have a chance to talk to a lawyer. At my law firm, you don’t pay until the end of your case, and then only if you’re successful. Another way that that’s important for you is it means you can hire an experienced, qualified lawyer to handle your case for the same percentage as someone without that experience. The difference is when you hire a good lawyer, a qualified lawyer; you get more money. If you want to talk about your case and decide if my firm is the best one to handle your case, call us at the number below, or visit us on our website which you see below. Thanks for listening. The S.E. Farris Law Firm is dedicated to the needs of injury victims and their families.

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.

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.ย 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.

I’ve been representing injury victims for a long time, and as a Saint Louis truck accident attorney, I know that a truck crash is much different than a crash between two cars. Trucks are regulated by state and federal governments, and they’re certain things they must do.ย When truck drivers drive over a long period of time as they have to to make a living, they get tired. And driver fatigue is a big issue. Drivers keep logbooks of how long they drive, and I remember one case where a driver had produced his logbooks that look like he was within the law. But because we know how trucking companies work, we’ve gotten the rest of his log books, the ones he submitted for payment to the companies, and found out that he was way, way over his hours. And he’s keeping two sets of books to fool the government. 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.

I want to talk to you for a moment about recorded statements. You’ve been involved in an injury. So a slip and fall, or a car accident, a truck accident, things of that nature. And the insurance company calls you right away. And they say, “Hi, I’m,” and they state their name. From whatever insurance company, “and I want to ask you about your accident or your injury. I need you to know that this phone call is being recorded for quality assurances.” Really, it’s for quality assurances? that’s why you’re recording me? That’s not true.
So they start off with a lie. They’re recording your conversation, in order to defeat your claim. They don’t want to pay you. You’ve just been involved in something that injured your body. You’ve been in the hospital. You might be on pain medications. And this nice person is calling you, and recording your conversation for quality assurance. They’re lying. That should be a big red flag. I need to call a lawyer. Call me at (314) 542-9999. Don’t give them a recorded statement. And let’s talk about why.
They’re going to ask you– let’s call it car collision. “What roads were you on, and which direction were you going?” Well you got to think. Was I going north, or was it west. I can’t remember. “What color was the traffic signal?” “Well when? When I was stopped at it, and hit from behind? Or before that when it was green?” I mean, they’re asking you questions to defeat your claim. “How hard was the impact?” Why do you want to answer those questions? Why would you? “What is the speed limit on that road?” I don’t know. Is it 35 or 40? Maybe it’s 45. They’re not helping you. You need a lawyer. Get the police report and figure those things out, and think about them. This isn’t a quiz, where you’re required to answer immediately.
They’re calling you to try to get you to mess up. So that later, when I’m preparing you for your deposition, and I show you that the police report says that you were stopped at a red electric signal and the speed limit is 40 miles an hour. You say, “Oh, well I told them earlier I thought the car was going 15 or 20.” Well how do you know that? You saw them in your rear-view mirror. You don’t know that. Don’t commit to that. Think about it. Do you know it, or do you not know it? If you know it, say it. And if you don’t know it, don’t say it. But get counsel. Because the insurance company doesn’t want to pay you.
So there’s lots of reasons not to give a recorded statement. They’re later going to take your deposition, which is your sworn statement under oath. And now they have two statements. Don’t do that. What’s the advantage of that? There is none. That’s why you always see lawyers in these 30 second commercials saying don’t give a recorded statement. They’re right, you shouldn’t. Instead, when they ask you for that, that’s your signal to call a good law firm and a good lawyer. And I don’t care who that is, which state you’re in. But you need representation. If you’re in the mid-west, in Missouri or Illinois, that’s all we do. My name is Mark Cantor. And again, our phone number is (314) 542-9999. And either I or my law partner Gary Burger, will personally represent you in your claim. Thank you.

Accidents involving over the road trucks are almost always devastating. While you’re off work, your bills are going to pile up. You’re going to want to hire a St. Louis truck accident attorney to protect your rights, because the trucking company and their insurance companies want to delay things as long as possible. The longer they delay, the more hard up you’re going to be for money to pay your bills and whatnot, and the better chance they have of getting off cheap. 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 the case, if we’re successful for you. Call 314- A-LAWYER today, for a free consultation.
