Types of Auto Accident Claims We Handle 

While most of us drive every day and don't think of the dangers. However, driving can be dangerous, which is why it's important to always stay alert when behind the wheel. 

Sadly, traffic fatalities happen every day. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, there were 991 traffic fatalities in Missouri in 2023, while the Kansas Department of Transportation reported 344 crash fatalities in Kansas in 2024. 

If a careless driver injured you, an auto accident lawyer from DM Injury Law is ready to help. We regularly handle complex claims, including: 

  • Distracted Driving: If a distracted driver caused your accident, we will hold them responsible. We can secure the money you need for medical bills, lost wages, and your pain and suffering.
  • Drunk Driving: If you were hit by a drunk driver, we will fight to get you justice. We can help you recover compensation for your injuries and hold the intoxicated driver accountable for their reckless actions.
  • Fatal Car Accidents: If a loved one died in a car accident, we will hold the driver who caused this tragic accident responsible. We can secure money to pay for funeral costs, lost financial support, and your emotional trauma.
  • Head-On Collisions: If you were injured in a head-on collision, we will investigate the crash to prove the other driver was at fault. We can help you get the compensation needed to cover your medical treatment and other losses.
  • Rear-End Collisions: If you were rear-ended, we can help you get money for your injuries, even if it was a low-speed impact. We can secure compensation for damage to your neck, spine, and other injuries.
  • Multi-Vehicle Pile-Ups: If you were in a multi-vehicle accident, we will sort through the chaos to identify the responsible parties. We will fight to get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses.

Frequently Asked Questions for Car Accident Lawyers 

What should I do immediately after a crash? 

  • Call 911: Report the accident to local law enforcement so they can make an official report of the incident.
  • Get Medical Treatment: Seek immediate medical attention, even if you feel fine. Some injuries can take days to appear.
  • Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident and get contact information from any witnesses.
  • Contact Us: Call our DM Injury Law before you speak to the other driver's insurance company. We are here to protect your rights.

How much is my case worth? 

There is no set amount for a settlement because every case is unique. The value of your case depends on your medical bills, your lost wages, the severity of your injuries, and the pain you have suffered. Our team will look at every detail to ensure we demand the maximum amount you deserve. 

What if the insurance company offers me a check right away? 

Do not accept their first offer. Insurance companies want to pay you as little as possible to protect their own profits. Their first offer is almost always a lowball amount that will not cover your future medical needs. Let our skilled attorneys negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. 

Will my case have to go to court? 

Most injury cases settle outside of court through tough negotiations. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial. We are aggressive trial lawyers who will not back down from a fight. 

How long do I have to file a claim? 

The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, varies depending on the state where your accident occurred. If you miss this deadline, you will lose your right to collect any money at all. 

  • Missouri: 5 years
  • Kansas: 2 years
  • Oklahoma: 2 years
  • Illinois: 2 years
  • Colorado: 2 years
  • Nebraska: 4 years

What if the driver who hit me drove away? 

If you were hurt in a hit-and-run accident, you still have legal options. It’s important to report the accident to the police as soon as possible and provide any details you can about the vehicle or the driver’s appearance. Witness statements or footage from nearby security cameras can also be valuable in identifying the responsible party. Additionally, you may be able to file a claim with your own insurance under the uninsured motorist coverage if the driver cannot be found.
