    How can your personal injury attorneys help me?

    If you have suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may be wondering what a personal injury attorney can do for you. A personal injury attorney is a legal professional who specializes in representing clients who have been injured in accidents, such as car accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, and more. Here’s what you need to know about what a personal injury attorney does and how they can help you.

    One of the first things a personal injury attorney will do is investigate your case. This includes gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing any relevant medical records. By doing so, the attorney can build a strong case on your behalf and determine the best course of action for pursuing compensation.

    A personal injury attorney will serve as your advocate throughout the legal process. They will communicate with insurance companies, negotiate settlements, and represent you in court if necessary. This allows you to focus on your recovery while your attorney fights for your rights and works to secure the compensation you deserve.

    Our advice on finding the best personal injury attorney

    If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer in St. Louis, there are a few steps you should take to ensure you find the right attorney for your case.

    Research local injury lawyers online

    Start by doing some research online. Look for personal injury lawyers in St. Louis and read reviews and testimonials from past clients. This will give you an idea of their experience and success rate.

    Get attorney referrals from people you know

    Ask friends, family members, or colleagues if they know of a personal injury lawyer they would recommend. Word of mouth can be a great way to find an attorney that others have had success with.

    Utilize consultations with local personal injury firms

    Once you have a list of potential attorneys, schedule consultations with each one. This will give you an opportunity to discuss your case and determine if the attorney is a good fit for you.

    Ask for experience in personal injury cases similar to your case

    When choosing a personal injury lawyer, it is important to look for someone with experience in your specific type of case. For example, if you were injured in a car accident, you want an attorney who has successfully handled car accident cases in the past.

    Discuss attorney fees

    Finally, make sure you consider the attorney’s fees. Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Make sure you understand their fee structure and any additional costs you may be responsible for.

    We, here at Ortwerth Law, only charge if we win your case and our fee is not taken until you receive your compensation.

    How our personal injury lawyers help people in Saint Louis, Missouri

    The ultimate goal of a personal injury attorney is to help you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries. This may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Your attorney will work to ensure that you receive a fair settlement that covers all of your expenses and losses related to the accident.

    A personal injury attorney can be an invaluable resource if you have been injured in an accident. They can investigate your case, advocate for your rights, and help you get the compensation you deserve. If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it is important to consult with a qualified personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your legal rights and ensure that you receive the compensation you are entitled to.

    If you have been injured due to an accident or negligence in St. Louis or the surrounding Missouri areas, it is important to seek legal representation as soon as possible.

    The Ortwerth Law Firm came to my rescue in my time of need. I would not have known how to proceed without their expert guidance. They were kind, caring, professional, and always available. I was fortunate to be able to work with them. Thank you.

    My experience with Ortwerth Law was seamless. In my case, Craig had to take on a giant company, and handled everything professionally all the way to satisfactory closure. Craig was engaging, and faithful to keep me informed along the way. There is no one else I'd rather recommend.

    Having Craig work on my case from beginning to end was the best decision I'd ever made! My case went on for 3 1/2 years and during that time i never had to worry about "bothering him or his staff with questions, or their patience in explaining what was going on or what I needed to do. They kept me and everyone involved informed and things went along smoothly! I hope to never have a case like this again, but if I do, there is absolutely NO doubt in my mind as to where I'd go and who I'd have to handle my case!! I highly recommend anyone to at least sit down for a consult. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! Great Job Craig (& Marcie!!)

    I grew up playing sports with Craig since grade school. Dedication, determination, and commitment lead to his success as an athlete and now leads him to be successful in law. When I was in a accident several years ago I called to ask for his help. He took care of all the legal tasks while I concentrated on physical therapy. I have recommended several of my friends and family to Craig and he has given them the same commitment and assistance. I endorse Craig and his firm for anyone needing legal service.

    I’m so grateful that Craig Ortwerth and his office took on my car accident case. Craig was so easy to work with and he quickly replied back to any questions or concerns I had and explained every step to me. I felt such relief knowing I was in good hands and I didn’t have to worry about dealing with the insurance company so I could focus on healing from my accident.

    Brian is an outstanding attorney! I had a pretty complicated divorce and it was not an easy time for me. Brian was thoughtful and empathetic to my situation. He wasn’t some cold attorney sitting across from me nodding his head. He was very responsive to any and all concerns I had, and never made me feel like a bother. He knows his profession and does it well. His prices are more than fair.

    As the Office Manager at Healthcare Complete, I would highly recommend the legal services from Brian McChesney and Craig Ortwerth. We have routinely referred our personal injury patients in need of legal advice/representation to their firm, and our patients have ALWAYS been well represented and satisfied. On a personal level, I have been represented by their firm for a personal injury case and have been equally satisfied. I have referred family and friends to the firm for similar situations. Our office, Doctor and Staff hold the firm in high regard. Thanks for all you've done for us through the years!
