Personal Injury Claims in Chesterfield

At Nichols Lang & Hamlin, LLC, we build every case using our considerable experience and insights. With backgrounds in defense work, and as skilled trial lawyers, we understand the tactics insurance companies will take to undermine your claim. After all, an insurance company is a business, and their ultimate goal is to protect their bottom line. They often do this by offering you lowball offers that may not cover the costs of your medical bills or damaged property, and sometimes they may even outright deny your claim altogether. Let us fight for the full and fair recovery you deserve.
We handle all types of personal injury cases in Chesterfield, including those involving car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bus accidents, rideshare accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, nursing home abuse, construction accidents, premises liability, slip and fall accidents, sexual abuse, dog bites, wrongful death, brain injuries, burn injuries, spinal cord injuries, and more.

Put Our Team To Work For You
In order to have a successful claim, you must first establish liability by proving that the individual or entity responsible was behaving in a negligent or careless manner that led to your injuries and damages. A variety of people can be responsible for negligence, such as drivers in auto accidents, manufacturers of defective products, and nursing home staff when it comes to abuse or negligence of vulnerable patients. An attorney can help your claim by gathering evidence from the scene of the accident or incident, such as photos of the damage, witness testimonies, and more.
Is There a Deadline to File a Claim in Missouri?
Every state has what is known as a statute of limitations, or a deadline to file a claim. In Missouri, individuals have five years from the date of injury to file their case. If you fail to file your claim within this time frame, it’s likely that the court will refuse to hear your claim and you’ll lose out on receiving the compensation you need.
After an accident, our team can help by pursuing the maximum amount of compensation needed to cover damages, including lost wages, medical bills, property damage, and pain and suffering. Injuries can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and those who suffer severe injuries may also lose their income when they are no longer able to work. You may also acquire non-economic damages that don’t come with a price tag, such as diminished quality of life when you’re no longer able to care for your children or loved ones.
