Accidents can change lives in an instant. Imagine driving home after a long day, only to be rear-ended by a distracted driver. Your car is damaged, your body aches, and medical bills start piling up. At the same time, insurance adjusters are calling, asking questions, and trying to get you to settle quickly. It can feel overwhelming. This is where experience matters most.
Brad Emert has spent over 30 years in courtrooms representing accident victims in St. Louis. His knowledge and skill allow him to protect clients, navigate complex insurance tactics, and fight for full compensation while they focus on recovery.
Why Experience Makes a Difference
Experience is more than just time in a courtroom. It is the ability to anticipate challenges, act quickly, and understand the nuances of each case. Many accident victims underestimate how much insurance companies know about lowering settlements. Brad Emert has faced these tactics for decades. He knows how adjusters look for weaknesses, and he prepares his clients to avoid common pitfalls.
Over the years, Brad has seen countless cases: minor fender-benders, serious truck collisions, and workplace accidents. In each situation, the same principles apply: gather evidence quickly, document every injury, and ensure the insurance company cannot undervalue the claim. This approach has saved clients thousands of dollars and, in some cases, ensured they receive the compensation they need to move forward with their lives.
Common Challenges After an Accident
Accident victims often face hurdles that can delay recovery or reduce compensation. Some common challenges include:
- Insurance delays: Adjusters may stall or use lowball offers to pressure victims into settling quickly.
- Missed evidence: Photos, witness statements, and medical documentation can disappear if not collected promptly.
- Medical complexity: Untreated injuries or incomplete medical records can weaken a case.
- Emotional stress: Fear, pain, or frustration can cause victims to make mistakes when dealing with insurers.
Brad Emert ensures that none of these obstacles affects his clients. His experience allows him to respond quickly and strategically at every stage of the process.

Real Examples of Experienced Advocacy
- Rear-End Collision: A client was offered a settlement that barely covered medical bills. Brad collected detailed records, accident photos, and witness accounts, resulting in full compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and car repairs.
- Workplace Injury: A construction worker faced resistance from the employer’s insurance. Brad acted immediately, documenting injuries and negotiating effectively. The client received reimbursement for all medical bills and lost income.
- Distracted Driver Accident: A client posted details about their accident on social media, which insurers tried to use against them. Brad corrected the record and presented the evidence in a way that protected the client’s claim.
These examples highlight how real experience produces tangible results for real people.
Avoiding Common Mistakes

- Speaking to insurance adjusters without guidance
