Before the insurer frames the crash
A free review can identify what evidence and coverage matter now.
St. Louis car accident claims often turn on details that disappear: video, witness memory, vehicle data, policy layers, and early medical documentation. Call before giving a recorded statement or signing a release.
Police report, crash photos, 911 records, witness names, or vehicle data may need to be preserved.
The insurer is asking for a recorded statement, broad medical authorization, or quick settlement.
Symptoms changed after the crash, treatment is ongoing, or future care is still uncertain.
Fault, uninsured coverage, underinsured coverage, or a company-vehicle policy is disputed.
