Practice Area Overview
Our firm offers a wide range of legal services to individuals, insurance companies and businesses throughout Missouri and Illinois. We have successfully represented clients against some of the largest corporations, insurance companies and defense firms in the U.S.
Our Practice areas include:
- Wrongful Death – Visit our siteWrongful death occurs when someone dies due to the negligence of another person, corporation or entity. While a legal claim cannot bring back a persons life, a wrongful death lawsuit can often provide compensation to the victims family and deter the person or company responsible from causing harm to anyone else.
- Personal InjuryPersonal Injury is a broad name for a type of legal practice covering any sort of injury done to a person by another person, company, or other entity. The injury may be physical or emotional, or even monetary or discriminatory.
- Automobile AccidentsEvery year there are more then 5 million motor vehicle accidents. Every day of every year 115 people die on our roads, that’s over 40,000 yearly or almost the same number who died in the Vietnam War. In addition, almost 3,500,000 are injured and the economic cost directly resulting from these car accidents amounts to over $150,000,000,000 yearly.
- Truck AccidentsAlmost every 18-wheeler case should plead negligent supervision, negligent hiring, and negligent retention, as these facts usually are usually borne out through discovery all the way up to trial. The driver’s logs, driver qualification file, and driving record should be reviewed. Then depositions should be taken of the trucking company’s safety director, corporate representative, relevant dispatcher, and others having knowledge of the wreck.
- Defective ProductsSometimes big corporations are so anxious to put new products on the market, they often forget – or deliberately ignore – the need to make those products safe. Dangerous products can and do cause serious injury and even wrongful death.
- Pharmaceuticalsmproperly designed, manufactured, or labeled drugs and medical devices can cause serious injuries or death. When that happens, lawsuits are made against the manufacturer, and anyone else associated with the making or distributing of the drug. These cases are known as pharmaceutical products liability cases.
- Motorcycle Accidentsmotorcycle accident statistics show that motorcycle accidents typically account for a disproportionately high number of catastrophic traffic accidents resulting in brain injury, broken bones, paralysis, and death.
- Medical NegligenceMedical malpractice, including medical mistakes and negligence, is one of the leading causes of preventable death and injury in the United States. Every year, medical malpractice accounts for nearly 100,000 deaths in our country . In addition to causing tens of thousands of deaths annually, medical malpractice is also the cause of serious and often permanent damage to patients who have innocently placed their lives in the hands of negligent medical professionals.
