Life can change in a heartbeat. You're commuting to work, shopping for groceries, or walking through a parking lot when suddenly an accident strikes. In its wake, you're left with growing medical expenses, paychecks that stop coming while you can't work, and a recovery journey that stretches painfully before you—potentially for months or years to come. Meanwhile, even though the incident wasn’t your fault, insurance adjusters are building a case that likely won’t provide the compensation you need to move forward with your life.
Building a strategic personal injury case that takes into account all of your economic and non-economic losses requires experienced legal guidance. At Finney Injury Law, our attorneys understand what you're going through and have the resources, skills, and determination to fight for the full compensation you deserve.
Why Personal Injury Claims Require Skilled Trial Attorneys
When you've been injured due to someone else's negligence, having the right legal representation makes all the difference. Insurance companies know which law firms settle quickly and which ones are prepared to go to trial. At Finney Injury Law, we build every case as if it will go to court, taking into consideration two key factors.
1. Multiple Responsible Parties
Many personal injury cases involve numerous potential defendants, including:
- Vehicle operators. Drivers, trucking companies, rideshare services, and other operators may share responsibility for your injuries.
- Property owners. Businesses, landlords, and homeowners have a duty to maintain safe premises and can be held liable when their negligence causes harm.
- Product manufacturers. Companies that design, manufacture, or sell defective products can be held accountable when those products cause injury.
- Medical providers. Doctors, hospitals, and health care facilities may be responsible when their negligence results in serious complications.
2. Significant Insurance Coverage
Most businesses and individuals carry insurance policies with varying coverage limits. While this may mean more compensation is potentially available, it also indicates that insurance companies will fight harder to protect their bottom line. Our approach is to make sure the evidence clearly demonstrates what you deserve.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our St. Louis trial-focused law firm has successfully represented clients injured in various situations:
- Auto accidents. From a head-on collision in the dead of night to catastrophic multi-vehicle crashes on I-70, we help victims of car, truck, and motorcycle accidents stand up for their rights and recover fair compensation.
- Medical malpractice. When health care providers fail to deliver the standard of care patients deserve, our team works to hold them accountable and secure compensation for additional treatment.
- Premises liability. Property owners who neglect safety responsibilities can be liable for injuries that occur on their premises, including slip and falls, inadequate security incidents, and swimming pool accidents.
- Product liability. Manufacturers who put dangerous or defective products on the market should pay for the harm they cause to unsuspecting consumers.
- Workplace injuries. Beyond workers' compensation, third-party claims may provide additional recovery when workplace accidents result from another party's negligence.
Whether you live in Missouri or Illinois, you can count on direct access to attorneys who’ve secured numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts.
Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Representation
The physical, emotional, and financial toll of suffering an accident that wasn’t your fault is often devastating. Our St. Louis personal injury lawyers regularly help people who experience:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Even mild TBIs can result in cognitive impairment in need of considerable rehabilitation services and long-term care.
- Spinal cord damage. Back injuries often cause partial or complete paralysis requiring lifelong medical treatment and assistance, changing your life forever.
- Broken bones. People who suffer severe fractures frequently need extensive surgery and physical therapy—and may have a prolonged disability that causes them to miss work and daily activities.
- Soft tissue injuries. Damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments can cause chronic pain and limited mobility that impacts your quality of life.
Unfortunately, many accidents also result in wrongful death, leaving families to cope with tremendous emotional and financial losses. We put your interests first and help you move through such a challenging time with the confidence that your loved one’s rights are upheld.
