Larson Law Firm Launches Increased Advocation for Accident Victims’ Rights

Providing answers to common questions helps clear up legal confusion for victims, publishes larsonlaw.comSpringfield, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/24/2015 -- According to information released by the Missouri Statistical Analysis Center, vehicle accidents injure or claim the life of approximately one person every ten minutes statewide. Lying within the United States' high to moderate risk zones for icy road conditions, the state ranked second among greatest number of vehicle-related fatalities due to winter weather based on current reports. With this in mind, Kurt Larson of the Larson Law Firm has launched increased efforts to protect victims' rights during the coming season.

Said Larson, "Dealing with insurance companies following a vehicle accident can be complicated, and clients come to us with a number of questions. Adjusters are often quick to spring into action, but they're trained to pay out as little as possible on behalf of their employers. They tend to work from an intimidation angle, attempting to convince victims to accept settlements for far less than they're entitled to receive. An Auto Accident Attorney can help combat those tactics to ensure the victim's rights aren't ignored, but we also want to clear up some of the common confusion."

A number of the more prominent concerns among local residents revolve around insurance companies. The Larson Law Firm advises against providing statements directly to insurance companies as these can be used for future evidence against victims. Well-known Miranda statements apply in this scenario; for insurance adjusters to imply otherwise is a violation of those rights.

Insurance companies typically send paperwork to those filing damage and injury claims. Allowing legal counsel to intervene before signing any of these documents is recommended to prevent forfeiting freedom to pursue further legal action. Each of these issues is said to be more aptly handled by a Car accident lawyer experienced in such matters.

Larson concluded, "Victims are held strictly to statutes of limitations in cases like these, so taking action immediately after receiving prompt medical care is crucial. This is also the time when details are still fresh on the minds of victims and witnesses, which adds strength to a case. These are only a couple of the common questions we hear. Many others can't be addressed quite so succinctly as the answers vary by circumstance. We encourage anyone recently involved in a vehicle accident to speak with a Personal Injury Attorney in Springfield, MO for more in-depth information."
