Columbia Back Injury Lawyer

St. Louis Neck Pain Lawyer

Neck, back and shoulder injuries can be among the most debilitating and painful of all injuries. We don't often realize how much we rely on our upper body until a muscle, joint or ligament injury robs us of our strength and mobility. Even the slightest muscle or nerve damage in parts of our back can put us on our back and out of work for months.

If you were recently in an accident and are experiencing pain in any part of your back, neck or shoulders, don't assume the muscles will heal on their own. Back pain is often the first symptom of something more serious and long-lasting. Talk to a doctor and insist on a thorough medical exam. Then talk to us.

In a car accident in Missouri? Don't take whiplash lightly.

Whiplash resulting from a rear-end collision in a car accident is one of the most common type of neck, back and shoulder injuries, and often among the most serious. Don't assume everything will be okay. Get to a doctor for treatment, then talk to us right away.

You Get a Professional Team of Professionals Working on Your Claim

We are excellent insurance litigation attorneys but that does not make us medical experts. We rely on a network of independent medical professionals, life-planning specialists and other professionals to investigate and prepare the strongest case possible before beginning negotiations with the insurance company responsible for compensating you fully for your back, neck or shoulder injury.

Tempted to Accept the Insurance Settlement Right Away?

It is in the insurance company's best interest to have you accept its settlement offer quickly. If your back injury doesn't seem that serious, you may be tempted to take the money. But if you accept the settlement, you will be forfeiting your right to seek further money damages, in the event your neck, back or shoulder injury resurfaces and requires major surgery or rehabilitative care. It makes sense to talk to an experienced Missouri personal injury attorney at Bley & Evans before making any decision about a settlement.
