Defense Against Auto Accident Injuries

For many of us, traveling by car is an normal part of life. We hear about the car accidents that injure and kill people every single day, yet we rarely give any thought to the potential dangers we face every time we get in the car. The fact that these risks are not top of mind, however, does not mean they are any less real. Consider these statistics from ASIRT (Association for Safe International Road Travel):

Almost 1.3 million people die in vehicle crashes every year (3,287 deaths per day on average).
An additional 20-30 million people are injured or disabled in accidents every year.
On a global scale, road crashes cost $518 billion every year.
If the current trend continues, experts expect auto accidents to be the fifth leading cause of death by 2030.

Obviously, auto accidents are a very real fact of life for many drivers. Not only do these accidents threaten our physical health and safety - they also bring with them several financial consequences. Because of these potentially serious implications, having an auto accident injury attorney represent you in your personal injury case is very important.

McDuffey Law: Your Experienced Auto Accident Attorney

The bottom line is that your personal injury attorney should be able to help you receive financial compensation for your repairs, injuries, and associated pain and suffering. No two vehicle crashes are alike, though, and predicting the value of your auto accident case ahead of time is impossible.

Every victim suffers unique personal injuries, unique financial consequences, unique (sometimes unpredictable) consequences in their work and personal lives. Depending on their severity, injuries can keep their victims from work and disrupt other daily routines, which causes what is known in the courtroom as "pain and suffering." The value of your specific case will be built over time as injuries are diagnosed, consequences are identified, and evidence is collected. Depending on the details of your case, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation for...

Medical Expenses
Pain and Suffering
Lost Wages
Reduced Earnings as a Result of Long-Term Injuries

We understand that financial considerations are a major concern for anyone who has been victimized in a serious car accident, and we promise to do everything in our power to ensure that you are compensated fairly.

Why Hire Us?

At McDuffey Law Firm, we do one thing - and we do it well.

We are dedicated to ensuring our clients receive financial compensation for their personal injuries, resulting medical bills, and lost wages. We recognize that when our clients come to us for legal assistance at the Lake of the Ozarks, they are recovering from a personal injury that has turned their life upside down. Our Camden County personal injury attorneys understand the emotional strain that comes from recovering from a serious injury (or caring for a recovering loved one), and we promise to do everything in our power to ensure that you receive proper compensation for your hardships.

We Will Deal With Your Insurance Company

Insurance companies can be convoluted and confusing - and usually slightly less than cooperative when it comes to paying their customers' claims. The legal team at our law firm in Osage Beach, MO will take over all the communication with your insurance company so you can focus on getting the medical treatment you need. We have fought all major insurance companies and have a proven record successful personal injury claims at the Lake of the Ozarks.

We Will Negotiate On Your Behalf

When you have finished with your medical treatment or have reached your maximum medical improvement, it is time to begin negotiations with your insurance company. Here is a brief overview of the process:

McDuffey Law Firm will present your claim to your insurance company in the form of a demand package.
Your insurance company will respond by way of an acceptance to the demand, a counter-offer, or a rejection.
McDuffey Law Firm will communicate your insurance company's response to you and will coach you on an appropriate response.

Our personal injury lawyers at the Lake of the Ozarks will serve as a guide and a sounding board during the negotiation process, but you will always have the final say in choosing to accept or reject your insurance company's offer. We will continue the negotiations until your claim is settled or a verdict is reached.

We Will Fight For Your Claim

Most personal injury cases are settled long before they would be taken to court, but they can go to trial if you are not happy with your insurance company's offer (or if your insurance company refuses to make an offer altogether). Keep in mind that we handle all of our cases on a contingency fee basis - our clients will not owe us anything unless we win their case.

If you have been injured at work, in a car accident, in a boating accident, or at the hands of a medical professional, it is important to seek legal representation immediately.
