We live in a day and age where the right to fair compensation is under constant attack. More often than not, if you have been the victim of employment discrimination, negligence, fraud, or breach of contract, your only hope of recovering damages is by selecting an experienced attorney. From the obstacles of filing a lawsuit to caps on the recoverable damages, the odds of success are simply stacked against individuals in favor of large corporations. One tool that has been implemented by large corporations that is becoming all too common and that can eliminate your constitutional right to an impartial jury claim is an arbitration clause. Unfortunately, these clauses are increasingly easy to gloss over as they are frequently masked as required online trainings, hidden in an online link, and buried underneath pages of fine print in the contract you are asked to sign.

Every day more than 1,000 people visit the emergency room due to dog bites. When dog bites occur in Missouri or Kansas, victims can potentially receive money as compensation for their pain and suffering, medical expenses, disfigurement, and other damages.

In Missouri, dog owners are held strictly liable for dog bites. There is no requirement to prove that the dog owner knew or should have known that the dog had a vicious tendency. The victim of the dog bite must simply prove that he or she was either on public property or lawfully on private property when bitten. The only available defense for the dog owner is to prove that the dog was provoked. Landlords may also be held liable when they know or should know that a dog owned by their tenant has dangerous propensities.

It is important to take specific steps following any serious car accident to protect the value of your personal injury claim. Insurance adjusters will deny your personal injury claim for compensation unless you preserve evidence of liability and damages.

Statistics show that we will all be involved in a car accident at some point in our lives. The only uncertainty is the severity of the accident we will be involved in. The severity of the accident itself often determines whether a personal injury claim for compensation is justifiable against the negligent driver. Accordingly, preservation of evidence of the severity of the accident is absolutely crucial to maximizing compensation in your personal injury claim.
