How The Process Works

The process begins by gathering detailed information about the incident. An attorney will ask questions to understand how the event occurred, the circumstances surrounding it, and the nature of the injury you sustained.

Case
Evaluation

When working with Murphy, Kinney & Sumy, you will enter into a contingency fee agreement. No upfront payment is required. An attorney will meet with you to collect statements, documents, photos, and videos (if applicable) relating to your case.

Representation & Investigation

An attorney can pursue your claim for insurance proceeds to compensate you for your injury. Once you submit your medical records and bills, settlement negotiations with the insurance company can proceed to pursue the maximum settlement offer.

Insurance
Claim

If the insurance company fails to provide a satisfactory settlement offer or attempts to undervalue your claim, the firm will file a lawsuit on your behalf and litigate the case until an acceptable settlement is reached or the case proceeds to a trial.

Litigation

At some point during steps 3 or 4, the majority of injury claims are settled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there limits to the compensation victims can receive from an insurance company?

Yes, there can be limits. Insurance companies only pay up to the amount listed in the policy. If the other driver has low coverage, it might not be enough to pay for all your losses. Also, if you are partly at fault, the amount of money you receive could be less. Missouri law allows you to still recover some money even if you share some blame. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and get the most compensation possible.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

After an accident, stay calm and make sure everyone is safe. Call 911 to report the crash and ask for help if needed. Get the names, phone numbers, and insurance details of everyone involved. Take pictures of the scene and your injuries. See a doctor, even if you feel okay. Then, talk to a lawyer before you speak with the insurance company.

Can I file a claim if I am partially at fault in Missouri?

Yes, you can. Missouri follows a “comparative fault” rule. This means you can still recover money even if you were partly at fault. However, your payment will be smaller based on how much of the accident was your fault. A lawyer can help protect your rights and make sure the blame is shared fairly.

Can I obtain compensation for future medical treatments?

Yes, you can often recover money for future medical care if you are hurt. However, a doctor must say that you will likely need the treatment. This can include things like more doctor visits, surgery, or medicine. Missouri law allows you to ask for this money as part of your case. Sometimes, the court may order the money to be paid over time.
