A personal injury claim is your right under Missouri law to get a financial recovery for the harm done by another person’s negligence, and to achieve justice. The aim of personal injury claims is to make one whole. The goal is to put you in the same position you were in before sustained the damages caused by another’s negligence.
Sometimes, no outcome in your claim can fully “put back” all the things you lost in an injury. While you can be reimbursed for the financial losses you sustained, other damages cannot truly be expressed through dollar signs. If a family member died, you are permanently disabled, are disfigured or will have to live the rest of your life in chronic pain, no one can truly change that. What compassionate and talented personal injury lawyers like those at Burger Law can do is secure you fair compensation in order to provide a sense of justice and acknowledgment, and to provide you with financial security as it relates to your injuries.
While some cases can be successfully navigated without a lawyer, most of the time you will need one to get the full compensation you are owed in St. Louis, MO. The thing to ask yourself is, can they add value to my claim? If your medical expenses are low, you did not miss much time off work and the insurance company is being mostly fair, you may not need an attorney. But, you will need an attorney in St. Louis, MO if the following is true about your claim:
We offer consultations for free, and we will always be honest with you about how much we can help your claim. Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you do not pay until we win your case, and we have no reason to accept you as a client if we do not think we can get you substantially more money.
While the legal specifics concerning negligence and liability can be confusing, whether or not you have a claim generally depends on one particular question: were you injured because someone else was negligent? From a legal standpoint, you have to prove the five elements of negligence:

Being a personal injury lawyer in St. Louis, MO mandates that you have a vast knowledge of the different types of cases that people deal with. Knowing the difference between a car accident case and a truck accident case seems simple, but there are many different laws and statutes that can arise in a truck accident case that can be the deciding factor in whether or not the case is successful. A lawyer who only knows how to deal with car insurance companies may not be the best choice to get you full compensation in a different claim. At Burger Law, we know how to secure justice for the injured whenever negligence results in an injury. Cases we take on in St. Louis and throughout Missouri include:
Burger Law’s personal injury lawyers know how to get great results whenever someone was injured due to another’s negligence. One of the great parts of choosing a Burger Law St. Louis, MO personal injury lawyer is that our team takes on all types of personal injury claims, and have won your type of claim before. We understand that case types often overlap, and having experience with each type of claim gives our team the perfect understanding of how to fight for our clients’ rights and recoveries.
The journey to securing maximum compensation for your injuries begins the second you are injured. While some cases only take a few months, others can take several years before a jury finally renders a verdict. In total, the personal injury claims process includes:
Most people who speak with our St. Louis, MO personal injury lawyers have never been through the personal injury claims process before, and do not know what to expect. Burger Law will be by your side every step of the way, keep you up to date on the status of your claim and handle all the legal aspects of your case so you can focus on healing.
Typically, your compensation will fall into two categories: economic damages and non-economic damages:
In some cases, you may also be eligible for punitive damages if the liable party’s conduct was purposefully harmful or grossly negligent. Examples can include a drunk driver, or a doctor who performs surgery after drinking. While punitive damages are rarely awarded, your Burger Law personal injury lawyer will pursue every legal avenue possible to maximize your compensation.
Trying to completely or partially blame you for your injuries is a frequent tactic insurance adjusters use to devalue your claim. If you were indeed partially to blame, you are still eligible for financial reimbursement. Under Missouri Revised Statute §537.060 and Missouri Revised Statute §537.765, the state has adopted “pure comparative negligence.” Meaning, if your injuries were partially, but not completely, your fault, your compensation will be lowered by the percentage of fault you bear.
For example, say your damages come out to $100,000, but you were 10 percent at fault for your injuries, under comparative negligence, you would receive a $90,000 financial recovery.
As we charge a contingency fee, you do not need to pay us anything upfront. We charge a percentage of your recovery, but only after your case is successfully resolved and after you receive your compensation. There are two main advantages to this:
At Burger Law, we know that being injured suddenly can put a dent in your back account. That should not diminish your ability to receive justice and a full financial recovery.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations is five years for most personal injury claims, under Missouri Revised Statute §516.120. There are four important exceptions:
While that may feel like a long time, that is not always the case in the legal world. Your personal injury lawyer at Burger Law will want the most amount of time in order to best make your claim. It is not worth taking the time to wonder if your case really has merit. Contact a Burger Law St. Louis, MO personal injury lawyer immediately at (314) 500-HURT.

Client Reviews
This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!
