Simple Statistic, A Simple Scenario

In 2006, there were over 8,000 accidents involving tractor-trailers in Missouri and over 16,000 in Illinois. With the population of the U.S. increasing every year and the roadways becoming more crowded, the likelihood of having one of these encounters will increase as well. Just imagine, you and your loved ones are taking a leisurely Sunday drive or you’ve just packed up your car and started out on a family vacation. Then suddenly, your life changes forever. Your family sedan was t-boned by a tractor-trailer. The truck driver was just on his way back from a delivery and had decided to not stop and sleep for the length of time required by federal laws. He simply wanted to get home and you simply wanted to enjoy the rest of your life with your loved ones. Now, because of the truck driver’s negligence, you and your loved ones are dealing with massive amounts of medical debt because the injuries sustained in the accident have prevented you from going back to work. You can’t pay your credit card bills or house payment and are risking foreclosure. The phone calls from concerned family members and friends have steadily become outnumbered by phone calls from bill collectors and creditors concerned about their money. The insurance company involved with your claim has offered you a negligible sum of money for compensation and it doesn’t seem like it is willing to negotiate. You feel like you’ve reached the end of your financial and emotional rope and then…someone offers a helping hand: Castle Law.

Castle Law: Caring Professionals

The attorneys at Castle Law entered the legal profession with a common purpose: To provide the type of help to people that only lawyers can provide. Our overriding goal is to fight for our clients’ rights and obtain the type of relief that will enable them to begin piecing their lives back together and have been providing this service to the citizens of St. Louis, Missouri, Memphis, Tennessee, and Illinois for over 15 years. We realize that our clients are victims of someone else’s negligence and that it simply isn’t fair for everyone else to live normal productive lives while you are left to deal with the greed of automobile insurance companies.

There is one very simple fact that must be understood about insurance companies: They are only interested in protecting their shareholders profits. This means that insurance companies will do anything to deny you, or anyone, the just compensation that they deserve as a result of their accident. The companies will use their financial strength to wait your claim out – potentially a matter of years – until you cave in and take a low settlement. The automobile insurance companies know you need the money and will employ bad faith practices to make sure you get as little of it as possible.

At Castle Law, our attorneys courageously battle against the bad-faith tactics of insurance companies. Our attorneys are skilled litigators and are comfortable in the courtroom. We are familiar with the strategies of insurance companies and will fight to the bitter end to ensure that your rights are preserved and that you receive the just compensation that you deserve. As members of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, we are committed to justice and fairness and will see to it that your claim is given the time and attention that it deserves. Many larger firms treat their clients and cases like they are mere numbers, but at Castle Law we strive to ensure that you feel comfortable with your legal representation.
