Chesterfield injury lawyer Trent S. Kerns
Author: Attorney Trent S. Kerns
How can you prove that a product was defective without the product in a product liability case? How can you prove that a condition was unsafe if the condition has been altered or removed' Many personal injury cases become unwinnable because there is not a prompt investigation.

Automobile Insurance: Comprehensive and Collision Coverage
From Personal Injury Legal Blog, 8 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Robert L. Mertig, Claims Consultant
Author: Claims Consultant Robert L. Mertig
I have read many articles recommending that consumers cancel the collision coverage on their vehicle’s car insurance policy once it reaches a certain age. However, my many years spent in the field of insurance has shown me that this is almost always a bad idea.
