I Don't Like Bullies

Why do I do what I do? Why do I fight for the rights of everyday citizens? I don't like bullies. There is inequity in our society, and the big insurance companies and the corporations are cheating the little guy, the average American. I've seen it throughout my life and when I see an inequity I want to right it. I don't like bullies.

What I get to do every day is come in and fight the bullies, and I couldn't be more proud to do it. I stand up to the powerful corporations and businesses and even big law firms to make sure that when someone is injured, defrauded, or lied to that they have someone in their corner to fight for their rights. It's so important that those who are injured get the full compensation and recovery that they deserve. This is why I do what I do.

$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.

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.

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.
