Personal Injury Law - We've Got Your Back!

Accidents, by their very nature, happen when we least expect them to. Some accidents involve the misuse of words, some involve the misplacement of belongings or resources, and others involve personal injury. Accidents vary in severity and impact, but all accidents have one thing in common: they all bring unintentional and/or undesired consequences. 

 If accidents manifest in the form of a work-related injury or an automobile accident, they can cause serious legal issues. While you'll want to (and should) dedicate all of your time to healing, these legal issues must be addressed before they have time to grow deeper roots. That's where the Law Firm of Phillips, McElyea, Carpenter, & Welch, P.C. comes in! Our experienced personal injury attorneys are able to advocate for you and your rights when you need them the most.


Personal Injury Laws

As with all branches of the law, personal injury is governed by several laws dictating when and how much you can collect from personal injury cases. For example, Missouri law has various requirements for when particular types of injury cases must be filed.  
Missouri also has a law dictating that if you are found to be at least partially at fault for the accident, the compensation you receive can be decreased in proportion to how responsible you were. For example, if the courts find you 20% at fault, your award could be decreased by 20%.

Personal Injury Cases

The most trusted lawyers at the Lake of the Ozarks, the attorneys at PMCW Law can represent you in a variety of different personal injury cases. Examples of the types of situations we can assist you with are:
  • Car Accidents
    • The driver who is mostly at fault for the accident will usually be required to pay for the majority of the repairs and/or medical bills.
  • Dog Bites 
    • The dog's owners are usually financially responsible for any medical bills that are incurred due to a dog bite or attack.
  • Medical Malpractice 
    • These cases arise when a healthcare professional injures a patient by failing to provide competent care.
  • Workers' Compensation
    • If employees are injured at work, these types of cases can provide them with the financial means to support their family during their recovery.
  • Assault 
    • An individual who assaults another will likely face criminal charges for their actions, but the injured person may pursue a personal injury case as well.
  • Slip and Fall
    • These unique cases present when property owners and/or renters can be held responsible for an accident that occurred on the premises.

 Personal injury cases can be complicated, emotional, and very confusing for inexperienced individuals.
