St. louis Car Accident LAWYER

St. Louis Car Accident Lawyer

As a dedicated St. Louis car accident lawyer, we handle various types of vehicular injury cases, drawing from extensive experience in every category.

Motorcycle and Moped Crashes: These accidents often result in the most catastrophic injuries and fatalities. They can be extremely complex, requiring experienced litigators to secure a win. We have witnessed these crashes causing severe broken bones and injuries to the neck and spinal cord.

Pedestrian Injuries: When drivers hit pedestrians who are crossing the street or standing on the sidewalk, the consequences can be devastating. In today’s world, pedestrian accidents frequently occur due to distracted driving, particularly from cell phone use. Drivers texting or calling while driving are often inattentive, leading to accidents involving pedestrians, even those using crosswalks with the right of way.

Cyclist Crashes: Similar to pedestrians, cyclists struck by motor vehicles often suffer serious injuries. They also face insurance coverage challenges since typical automobile insurance policies do not cover underinsured motorist coverage for bicyclists.

Car Accidents: As experienced St. Louis car accident lawyers, we have handled numerous fatal car accident claims. We’ve seen concussions and other brain injuries from seemingly minor crashes. Whether you can be compensated for these injuries, especially the severe ones, is often a contentious battle with insurance companies. Even when insurance company doctors acknowledge that minor trauma can cause a bulging disc, insurers frequently fight these claims.

If you were injured in any type of crash, you may be entitled to compensation. You might need thousands of dollars in chiropractic care, tens of thousands in diagnostic testing and surgery, along with compensation for missed work and loss of enjoyment of life. As your trusted St. Louis car accident lawyer, we ensure you know your rights before settling with the insurance company. Once you sign a release, you have no recourse if a seemingly minor whiplash injury proves to be much more severe on an MRI.

      Recent Outcomes

      We have resolved numerous trucking cases. For example, we took a trucking case to trial in the City of St. Louis. When a client’s car was knocked across the highway by a semi-truck, our lawsuit revealed the trucker had exceeded the maximum work hours and was fatigued at the end of a long shift. The trucking company made no settlement offers and argued that our client was at fault. The reporting police officer testified our client was at fault. The jury discounted the officer’s testimony and rendered a verdict for our client. 

      We have tried numerous auto accident cases and have settled hundreds. By way of example, we recently handled a catastrophic injury case for a young family hit by a drunk driver. We were able to settle our client driver’s case. Our client passenger’s case went to trial in St. Charles County after we turned down a settlement offer of $300,000. The jury returned a verdict for our client in the amount of $750,000.
