Columbia, Missouri, Injury Attorney

At Lear & Werts L.L.P., in Columbia, Missouri, injury attorneys Brad Lear and Todd Werts understand how difficult the period following an injury is for both the victim and the victim's family. They are committed to helping every client get fair compensation for his or her loss and to helping with the many issues that accompany a serious injury or fatality.

If you have been injured because of the negligent or intentional act of another you should discuss your situation with a personal injury lawyer before accepting an insurance company's settlement offer. While you need fair compensation to take care of yourself and your family, you also need time to heal, and not rush into talking with an insurance adjuster about policies and liabilities.

At that consultation, an attorney will explain your legal options and suggest a course of action.
