$113 Million Verdict Awarded to MO Corrections Workers

Recent Win $113 Million Verdict Awarded to Missouri Corrections Workers

On August 15th, 2018, a Cole County jury rendered a verdict for a class of Missouri Corrections officers against the Missouri Department of Corrections in the amount of $113,714,632.00. This was slightly over what lead trial attorney Gary Burger of Burger Law requested from the jury. Many thanks to the Cole County court personnel and the jury for their hard work and time devoted to the case.

Types of Injury Claims

Accidental claims typically rest on the legal theory of negligence. This allows people who suffered injuries due to someone’s carelessness to ask for compensation for their injuries. In most cases, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed them a duty to care for their well-being. They then must demonstrate that actions taken by the defendant breached this duty and caused their injuries.

Cases can also rely upon a theory that the defendant failed to act to protect the plaintiff. For example, hotels have a duty to protect all guests. If a guest is assaulted or burgled on the property, the hotel may be found negligent by a St Louis accident attorney in failing to provide adequate security.

Dangers of Social Media and Driving Scholarship

We are excited to announce our 2018 Dangers of Social Media and Driving Scholarship. Burger Law aims to support a student that is passionate about raising awareness of the risks of using social media while driving. We will be awarding $2,000 towards the education of a student who creates a plan to teach their peers about the dangers of distracted driving. Please visit our scholarship page to learn how you can be awarded for your proposed public awareness campaign.

Filing a Personal Injury Claim

Other claims result from intentional acts. Whenever this is the case, the defendant will often also face criminal charges. Even if a defendant faces a conviction, the criminal court is powerless to order this defendant to compensate the injured person.

To collect compensation, a plaintiff must file and pursue a civil lawsuit on their own. These cases differ from negligence cases and have their own legally established causes of action.

When a defendant pleads guilty in criminal court, the civil case becomes much simpler. A legal concept known as res judicata states that a party to a lawsuit cannot argue the facts of a case twice. In other words, if a defendant pleads guilty of assault in a criminal case, they cannot argue that they did not commit the act in a related civil case.

Gary and his team at Gary Burger Law were exceptional with my personal injury case. When Gary and his team took my case, it was in shambles from my previous lawyer and required immediate attention. Without hesitation, Gary tackled my case head-on and fought for me every step of the way. His team was diligent about keeping me informed on the progress of my case and always available to answer any questions or concerns. I confidently recommend Gary Burger Law to represent, defend and exceed your expectations.

Audra Hessel
Gary Burger helped my family through one of the worst events in our lives with the loss of my nephew. Which left his son at age of 5 with no father. Gary walked my brother and I through every step with the most compassion I have ever seen a lawyer put out. He made sure that my nephew will be taken care of for the rest of his life. His assistant Casey is wonderful as well. I think she goes above and beyond. Thank you Gary for a job well done. You will be our accident lawyer forever.
