Ladue Personal Injury Lawyers

Insurance companies are in business to protect their profits, not your recovery. Our role is to level the playing field. From the moment you hire us, we get to work preserving evidence, documenting your injuries, and calculating the true cost of what has happened to you.

​

Immediate Evidence Preservation

Evidence has a short shelf life. Surveillance video gets recorded over, witnesses move away, and physical signs of an accident scene fade quickly. We act fast to lock down the proof your case needs.

​

• We request police reports from the St. Louis County Police Department and other local agencies.

• We secure surveillance footage from nearby businesses, gas stations, and homes before it is erased.

• We work with accident reconstruction specialists when the cause of a crash is in dispute.

• For truck wrecks, we send spoliation letters to trucking companies, putting them on legal notice to preserve electronic logging data, maintenance records, and driver files.

• For construction injuries, we collect OSHA reports and document any safety violations on the jobsite. 

​

This early groundwork often makes the difference between a strong case and a weak one. We do not wait, and neither should you.

 

Medical Documentation Coordination

Getting the right medical care is essential, both for your health and for your case. Many of our clients worry they cannot afford treatment, especially if they are out of work. We can help.

​

• We connect you with providers who accept medical liens, which means you receive care now and pay later out of your settlement.

• We track your treatment at facilities such as St. Luke's Hospital, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, and The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis.

• We request specialist referrals when needed, including orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and physical therapists.

• We gather every record, from the first emergency room visit to the last therapy appointment.

​

Keep in mind that medical lien arrangements do reduce your final net recovery, since those bills are paid back from your settlement. We will always explain how this works before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises later.

​

Economic Loss Calculation

Your financial losses go far beyond the bills sitting on your kitchen counter. A serious injury can affect your earning power for years to come.

​

• We document reduced earning capacity for engineers at Boeing who can no longer perform precision work.

• We calculate long-term losses for union laborers facing permanent physical restrictions.

• We account for service workers who can no longer stand for a full shift.

• We work with vocational experts and economists to project the lifetime cost of long-term care.

​

Each of these pieces builds a fuller picture of what the accident has truly cost you, and that complete picture is what we present to the insurance company or jury.
