Benefits of Hiring an Attorney for an Aggressive Driving Claim

Getting hit by an aggressive driver can leave you with exorbitant medical bills, missed work, and constant pain. You might be wondering if the insurance company’s quick settlement offer is fair, or if you should sign those papers they keep pushing in front of you. While the settlement may seem tempting, insurance companies often offer a low settlement to close your claim quickly and minimize your compensation—which is why you need an attorney on your side.

Dollar, Burns, Becker & Hershewe will protect your best interests while you focus on healing and recovery. Our personal injury attorneys in Kansas City know exactly what evidence to gather, from traffic camera footage to cell phone records to eyewitness accounts, to prove the aggressive driver’s reckless behavior caused your injuries. We work with experts who can systematically demonstrate how aggressive actions led to the collision and contributed to your damages.

When calculating compensation, we account for every aspect of your losses, from current and future medical expenses to lost wages and diminished earning capacity. We also pursue punitive damages, when available, to hold aggressive drivers accountable. Our experience with these cases enables us to accurately value your claim and recover the full compensation you deserve, not just what the insurance company offers.
