Normal Day…

Just imagine: You watch your loved one back out of the driveway, and drive off to work for the day. It’s a seemingly routine act. An hour later, however, you receive a phone call from the State Police. Your loved one has been involved in a serious car accident. Little do you know that your loved one will eventually pull through and little do you know of the pain and financial hardships you will eventually endure fighting for a just payment from big insurance companies. Not to mention the surgeries and doctor bills and loss of income. Your life has been turned upside down in the matter of an hour.

We would all like to think that these horrible things would never happen to us or our loved ones, but this is only one scenario. There are thousands more! There are also drunk drivers, tractor trailer accidents, and simple negligence.

In 2006, the Missouri Department of Transportation estimated that Missouri’s roadways saw over:

• 87,000 car accidents
• 20,000 accidents which occurred in traffic
• 60% of crashes occurring in the states urban or urbanized areas
• 8,230 accidents involving trucks
  

It seems that no matter where you go, you can never escape the very real threat of negligent drivers. The threat to your well being and happiness does not stop there. In fact, this is only the beginning.

Big Insurance Companies, Big Greed

An almost worse ordeal than dealing with the physical and mental effects of the auto accident is dealing with the insurance company. Insurance companies have one goal in mind: protecting their shareholder’s profits. It would be nice to think that insurance companies exist because they care about people, but that just simply isn’t the case.

Insurance companies exist because they know they are providing something that people need to have and that is a very profitable business. Unfortunately, the companies want the money to flow one way: into their pockets. This is why insurance companies employ bad-faith practices to attempt to deny claims.

Insurance companies have a lot of power in the court system. They realize that most of the claimants that bring them to court don’t have much in the way of money or time, so the companies offer blatantly negligible payments in the hopes that you will accept the money. If you turn the money down, the companies will simply drag their feet and wait on you to give up. Standing alone, an injured person has essentially no chance of getting the recovery they deserve from an insurance company. When that person has skilled legal advice, however, the scenario quickly changes. Welcome to Castle Law Office.
