Most personal injury cases settle, but some go to trial. Factors include clear vs. disputed fault, the value of your claim, strength of evidence, the insurance company’s tactics, your willingness to go to court, and timing. Strong cases with clear evidence are likely to settle; those with high stakes or disputed liability may require a trial. Always be prepared for both outcomes to get the compensation you deserve. Consult an experienced attorney to protect your rights.

Self-driving cars are set to transform accident lawsuits. As these vehicles become common, legal focus will shift from driver negligence to product liability—putting car makers, software developers, and fleet operators in the spotlight. Expect more complex cases, with digital evidence and technical experts playing a bigger role. State laws and access to vehicle data will be key in determining responsibility after a crash.

Trucking companies claim safety is their top priority, but actions speak louder than words. Behind the scenes, drivers are pressured to meet impossible deadlines, leading to hidden hours-of-service violations. Electronic logbooks don’t always tell the full story—evidence often emerges only when attorneys compare dispatch messages, GPS, fuel receipts, and other records. The real danger isn’t just tired drivers, but companies willing to put profit over public safety.

A recent Supreme Court decision, Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, makes it possible to hold freight brokers liable if they put unsafe trucking companies on the road. This is significant for truck accident victims because your case may involve more than just the driver or carrier. Early investigation can reveal if a broker ignored safety warnings or failed to vet a carrier properly. Our firm offers free consultations and only charges if we recover compensation for you. Contact us to discuss your legal options and whether a freight broker may be responsible for your crash.

Even low-speed car crashes can lead to severe injuries, including whiplash, concussions, and persistent back pain—even if your vehicle looks nearly untouched. Symptoms may not show up right away; it can take days or even weeks for pain, stiffness, headaches, or dizziness to appear. Insurance companies often try to minimize the seriousness of these injuries, using the lack of visible damage to downplay your claim. Prioritize your health: always see a doctor after an accident, keep detailed records of your symptoms and medical visits, and never accept a quick settlement or let adjusters pressure you. Your well-being is worth more than a bumper—protect yourself and your rights.

Injured in Missouri? The legislature is proposing legislation to shorten the time within which you can file your injury claim. At the present time, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within 5 years, but cases like medical malpractice (2 years), wrongful death (3 years), or those involving minors or government agencies have different deadlines. Waiting can hurt your claim—evidence fades and rights may be lost. And if the legislature shortens the statute of limitations for personal injury cases, acting early may be critical. Speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights. If the legislature passes any legislation to shorten the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in 2026, we at Bollwerk & Associates will post this critical update if and when it happens.

What qualifies as a permanent injury after an accident?

Some injuries can have lifelong effects. Permanent injuries may include conditions that affect mobility, cause chronic pain, result in permanent disability, or require ongoing medical care.

After a serious accident, understanding whether an injury may have lasting consequences is important for both medical treatment and long-term planning.
