You're commuting to work, shopping for groceries, or walking through a parking lot when an accident strikes. Medical expenses pile up. Paychecks stop coming. The recovery stretches for months or years. Meanwhile, even though it wasn't your fault, the insurance adjuster is building a case that won't provide what you need to move forward.
Building a personal injury case that captures all of your economic and non-economic losses requires experienced trial representation. Insurance companies know which firms settle quickly and which ones are trial-tested and proven. That posture is what produces fair settlements when cases settle, and trial verdicts when they don't.
Two structural realities shape every serious personal injury case. Both require trial preparation, not just claim handling.
Many cases involve more than one defendant. Identifying everyone who shares responsibility is part of building full case value:
Some businesses and individuals carry substantial insurance coverage, but many don't. Over 40% of Missouri drivers carry only the state minimum limits, or no insurance at all. When more coverage is available, insurance companies fight harder to protect their bottom line. When coverage is thin, finding every responsible party and every available policy is what makes real recovery possible. Our approach is to make sure the evidence clearly demonstrates what you deserve, not to settle quickly for what an adjuster offers first.

When you choose Finney Injury Law, we begin building a case designed to win at trial, even if it ultimately settles. The approach is the same either way.
We promptly send spoliation letters to prevent the destruction of critical proof and request all documentation related to your injuries. The first 48 hours often determine what evidence will exist by the time the case is tried.
Our team identifies all potentially liable parties and collects evidence, surveillance footage, witness statements, medical records, dispatch logs, vehicle data, corporate records. We build the file the case will need at trial, not the file the insurance company expects to see.
We collaborate with accident reconstructionists, medical experts, life care planners, economists, and others who strengthen the case and clearly demonstrate the full extent of your losses. Strong expert testimony is what turns a serious injury claim into a fully valued one.
We assess all current and future damages, medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, reduced quality of life. The number we present is the number the case is worth, not the number the insurance company wants to settle for.
