At Kolker & Germeroth, L.L.C., our attorneys have an impressive record of success in cases involving all kinds of complex issues, including liability insurance, uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage, medical payments coverage, medical decisions and property damage settlements.

We take on all kinds of auto accident cases, including those involving:

We have handled every type of collision, from "T-bone" intersection crashes to head-on collisions and rear-end collisions. We have recovered compensation for wrongful death, permanent or catastrophic harm such as spinal cord injury or brain injury, and a wide spectrum of serious injuries, including broken bones, internal injuries, burns and disfigurement.

Maximizing Your Accident Compensation

Our attorneys work with physicians and other health care professionals to assess and review all the short- and long-term medical aspects of a case. Our comprehensive understanding of Missouri and Illinois automobile insurance and liability laws means that we are aware of the different sources of recovery available to car accident victims and their families, along with the various theories of liability that enable victims to collect from the parties who harmed them.

Our attorneys respond swiftly and oversee a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the crash. Many times we hire accident reconstructionists and other experts to identify the underlying negligence of the other driver: speeding or traffic violations, inattentive or distracted driving, aggressive or reckless driving, or intoxication. We also explore third-party liability, such as roadway defects or automotive design flaws.

Protect Your Rights — What to Do After an Auto Accident

If you are involved in a car accident, you can protect your rights by doing a few basic things:

  • Do not admit fault.
  • Get the other driver's name, phone number, license plate and insurance information.
  • Gather the names and contact information of witnesses.
  • Get medical attention as soon as possible after the accident.
  • Take pictures of your vehicle and the other vehicle involved.
  • Take pictures of the location where the accident took place.

Claims investigators from the other driver's insurance company or representatives of your own insurance company may contact you. Other than reporting your claim to your insurance company, you should not give them statements about the accident. First, speak with an experienced trial lawyer.
