Legal Question in Personal Injury in Missouri

Re: school bus wreck

Hello,

Let me try to answer your questions as much as possible. In a lawsuit, your son would be able to recover his past and future medical expenses and lost wages, if any. If he has been permanently injured, your attorney would hire an expert to determine how that injury will affect the rest of his life and what it will cost. Your son can also receive compensation for the pain he has had to endure. Since the value of your son's case is a mixture of expenses that have a price tag (lost wages, medical bills, etc.) and expenses that do not have a price tag (not playing football, pain, etc.) it is hard to determine exactly what your son's case is worth at this point.

Here is something very important to think about. Because of tort reform that was recently passed in Missouri, the laws that affect your son's case will be changing on August 28, 2005. These changes will make your son's case significantly more difficult to win. Your son's case will also be worth less money. The upside is that you can avoid these problems by filing the lawsuit before August 28. Therefore, it is extremely important that you contact an attorney immediately. If I can be of any further service to you, please call me at your convenience at (800) 962-5363 or email me at [email protected]. Good luck.
