Do you know what the true meaning of full coverage auto insurance is and how can you ensure you’re protecting yourself to the fullest extent? When someone says they have full coverage auto insurance, this typically means they have liability, comprehensive and collision policies. - Liability Insurance: this form of insurance pays costs for the other party's injuries and repairs when you're at fault for an accident You automatically purchase uninsured motorist coverage when... you purchase liability. - Comprehensive and Collision Coverage: these provide insurance for damage to your vehicle. All three of these are all great to have, but to be truly covered, you should also have: - Underinsured Motorist: this covers your bodily injuries when the at fault party does not have enough insurance to compensate you. - Medical Payment coverage: this is a no-fault coverage that can pay for your medical bills. Understanding your auto insurance policy can be challenging. If you have any questions regarding your auto insurance, from struggling with a claim to making sure you're adequately protected, contact Dawson Law Firm.

Right after a car accident, your adrenaline is pumping and you just want to get home. When the officer asks you on scene if you want an ambulance, you may refuse medical attention. This is then documented in the police report as you having no injuries. Insurance companies love to pick apart police reports and keep track of dates you go to the doctor. However, symptoms commonly arise hours or even days after the injury including: headaches, general pain, stiffness, so...reness, bruising, tingling, numbness, abdominal pain, dizziness, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is important to go to the doctor as soon as you can after an accident to ensure you do not have internal injuries you may be unaware of. If you have questions about what to do after you are in a car accident, contact Dawson Law Firm for a free consultation today 314-701-7373.

I had a blast helping to plan the Women Lawyers' Association virtual scavenger hunt that took place this past Thursday night. The event was sponsored by yours truly and was an awesome success. It was a great excuse to put on an ugly holiday sweater, enjoy a glass of wine and watch lawyers and judges rush away their computer screens to find items like reindeer, gift receipts and ornaments. Because we cannot all get together for our usual holiday parties, events like this are a nice way to still be together and have fun. Cheers and happy holidays

Most people know that they have insurance policies and can use their insurance coverage when damages to property occur. If property loss is experienced on a home, car, or another insured item, they expect to be able to recover the value of that property minus a deductible. BUT ... what if the insurance company decides not to cover damages due to their interpretation of a policy which is different from how the owner intended? What happens when the insurance company offers the...ir insured a payout, but the amount is not enough to recoup the initial loss? The insured can file a first-party claim against their insurance company to recover damages incurred for their insured property.

Do you know how sovereign immunity works in Missouri?

Do I have a claim: If I am injured in a hit and run car accident? Hit and run accidents leave the victim in a tough spot; the driver who injured you may never be found, leaving you feeling alone to deal with the damages. If you are injured in a hit and run accident, remember, you are not alone; Dawson Law Firm will help you recover the financial compensation you are entitled to. Every auto policy in Missouri has uninsured motorist coverage which covers you in this very situa...tion. It can cover your medical treatment, lost wages, and car repairs. Many people are not aware of what uninsured motorist coverage is or how they can utilize it. Let Dawson Law firm review your policy and determine what you are entitled to.

When would I need a personal injury attorney? If you have suffered an injury that you believe was someone else’s fault, you may want to consider hiring a personal injury attorney. Not all situations require an attorney, but if there is a serious injury or negligence, an attorney with specialized skills can be useful. While every case is unique and should be evaluated, these four scenarios can help you determine if hiring an attorney is the right choice for you:... 1. You suffered a serious injury or permanent disability 2. You aren’t sure who is at fault 3. There is more than one party involved 4. The insurance company denied or is delaying your claim 5. The driver who hit you left the scene. 6. You are dealing directly with your own insurance company for payment. Even if you aren’t sure if you want to hire an attorney, Dawson Law Firm is always here to offer a free consultation. We can evaluate your specific case and help you determine if working with an attorney will be beneficial to you!

Headaches are a common symptom after a car accident. Often people brush a headache off because it is not a visible injury. However, post-traumatic headaches can actually be a symptom of a deeper problem such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Even concussions are considered mild TBIs. Just because you have a fender bender or a low speed collision, those can still cause post-traumatic headaches that can linger for months. It has become clear that the damage to vehicles does not always reflect the damage to the person. If you’re suffering from lingering headaches from an auto accident or another injury, call Dawson Law Firm today for a free evaluation.

First, it is important to make sure that your homeowner’s insurance covers everything you need it to and everything you expect it to! Be sure to do a thorough review of your insurance policy BEFORE you need it. If your home is damaged during a storm, and you have homeowner’s insurance, you should make a claim to your insurance to cover the damages. If your homeowner’s insurance claim is denied or undervalued by your insurance company, Dawson Law Firm may be able to file a ...claim to dispute compensation for your losses. In fact, determining if the damage that occurs is covered by homeowner’s insurance is actually one of the most common issues presented by insurance claim disputes. If you believe your insurance company has wrongfully denied your claim or offered an undervalued payout, call Dawson Law Firm today and we will evaluate your specific case and make further recommendations on how to move forward.

In a personal injury case, there are two types of ways to seek compensation for damages a claim and a lawsuit. Filing a personal injury claim is usually the first step of the personal injury legal process. A claim usually involves an insurance company and is a series of negotiations between the injured party (or their attorney) and the insurance company’s claims adjustor. It is during this time that your attorney launches a full investigation, contacts your medical provide...r for records and bills, and stays up to date with you regarding your medical treatment. How a claim is handled pre-suit is just as important as when the case is filed. This is because the insurance company makes its liability decision and sets reserves. If a fair settlement payment is reached and both parties are satisfied, the claim is closed. If a fair settlement can’t be reached, filing a lawsuit may be the next step in the legal process. Dawson Law Firm can help navigate this process every step of the way. We will work to ensure that you are comfortable and informed throughout your entire case.

If you suffer an injury, always talk to an injury attorney before speaking with the insurance companies. Insurance adjusters often use bad faith tactics to find a reason for devaluing or denying injury claims. Insurance companies often try to get you to give a recorded statement before you have a chance to speak to an attorney. This is so they can ask you questions that may not be relevant, confuse you, and be used against you later on. An experienced attorney will know h...ow to properly investigate the cause of the accident, medical diagnosis, and the insurance policies involved. Contact Dawson Law Firm anytime you suffer an injury; we offer free evaluations and, if needed, can deal with the insurance companies to ensure you receive full compensation.

Interestingly enough, pedestrians hit by a car usually still have a valid injury claim even if they weren't using a crosswalk. Most states' negligence and traffic laws require the driver to be alert and avoid road hazards such as pedestrians.

Every unique case needs to be evaluated by an attorney call Dawson Law Firm today, and we will be happy to offer a free case consultation!

If you are a passenger in a car operated by an Uber or Lyft driver and are injured as the result of an accident, you are likely entitled to compensation. Accidents with ride sharing companies are handled much like normal car accident claims. However, Uber and Lyft require their drivers to be covered by commercial insurance policies. If you’re the driver of an Uber or Lyft and you are in an accident while your app is on, you may also be eligible for compensation. There are... of course varying factors such as whether you were searching for a passenger or were on an actual ride. Each case is unique and needs individual evaluation. Contact Dawson Law Firm today; we will examine the details of the situation and advise if there is a cause for a claim. #Uber #lyft #personalinjury #claim #law #attorney #lawyer

Wear smart footwear: During the fall and winter season, wear boots or shoes sturdy with textured soles give you more traction on slippery surfaces or ice. Wear sunglasses: If your vision is compromised, you may not be able to see hazards. Be sure to wear appropriate eyewear, like sunglasses, especially when it’s snowing.

Did you know you can use homeowners insurance for injuries that occur outside the home?

A dog attack can be extremely traumatic; victims are often left with severe physical injuries, scarring, trauma, and pain. At Dawson Law Firm, we love dogs! However, we also understand owners have a duty to make sure their pets do not injure others. Responsibility is placed on the dog owner, assuming there was nothing done by the injured party to provoke the dog, and the injured party was not on trespassing on private property. The state of Missouri adheres to liability s...tatutes when it comes to dog bites. This means even if the owner of the dog took reasonable precautions to prevent the attack, the owner is still liable for injuries caused from the bite. In Missouri, there are also remedies if you suffer injuries other than a bite from a dog on one’s property. For example, if you are out jogging and a dog jumps on you, causing you to fall and break your arm, this would be handled as a liability case. Call Dawson Law Firm today to get a comprehensive evaluation of your potential claim.

Did you know that you can file a lawsuit against your insurance company? Insurance companies have a duty to treat their insureds fairly and reasonably. Even though first-party insurance policy coverage is specified in a contract, insurance companies do not always pay out everything required by law.

The policyholder can file a lawsuit against their insurance... company to recover the damages owed. Dawson Law Firm offers free consultations and can help you learn about your legal options. We will help policy owners receive fair compensation after having their claim denied or underpaid. #Didyouknow #insurance #knowyourrights #themoreyouknow #law #attorney #lawyer # personalinjury #personalinjuryattorney #STL #Stlouis #helpingothers #female #femaleentrepreneur

Happy Labor Day, I hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing holiday! Today, I’m sharing some trivia so you can drop some knowledge on your fellow BBQ attendees Did you know around the same time Labor Day became a federally recognized holiday in the 1890’s, America began its research on workers’ benefits. The first worker’s compensation system was then put into law in 1908 to cover workers involved in interstate trade (mind blown emoji) ... The system looks very different today. Simply put, if a worker is injured on the job, they could be entitled to worker’s compensation. In Missouri, if the appropriate criteria is met, employers/companies must provide: - Medical treatment - Payment for time off - Permanent partial disability compensation - Permanent total disability compensation -- No matter what type of injury you suffered, if it happened on the job, an attorney should evaluate the case.
