A St. Louis car accident lawyer for your community

Missouri is not a no-fault state. After a car accident, the injured person seeks compensation from the at-fault driver, and Missouri law requires every driver to carry liability insurance to provide a source of funds for anyone they injure. The catch: not every driver follows the law, and insurance companies work to minimize what they pay. That’s why it’s wise not to discuss your accident with any insurer until you’ve spoken with an attorney.

The Hoffmann Law Firm, L.L.C. provides practical legal help for car accident victims across the St. Louis metro. Attorney Christopher Hoffmann has 25 years of experience and has handled hundreds of motor vehicle accident cases. Find your community below — or call us 24/7 for a free consultation.

The cases we handle

Attorney Christopher Hoffmann has handled hundreds of motor vehicle accident cases across Missouri, including:

Truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Rear-end collisions
T-bone accidents

Drunk driving and reckless driving accidents
Texting and driving and construction zone accidents

Uninsured & underinsured drivers

Hit by a driver with no insurance?

Even though Missouri law requires every driver to carry insurance, many don’t. Driving uninsured can bring a four-point traffic violation — and it takes only eight points before a license suspension — yet a significant share of St. Louis crashes still involve uninsured or underinsured drivers. If that happens to you, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may provide compensation. We review every relevant policy to identify all possible sources of recovery after a crash.

Chris Hoffman is an excellent attorney. He is the best above the rest. What makes him different? He communicates promptly - I don't have to leave message after message for him to reach out to me. When I telephone his office, if he doesn't answer the telephone, his assistant does. Chris Hoffman is very attentive and focused. He means business, and he hit the ground running on the cases. I'm so blessed to have him for my attorney.

"Of all the lawyers I have met, this one is a true professional. This attorney goes against the biggest law firms and wins!"

Response from the owner:The compliment is much appreciated. Like every profession, it all starts with training our lawyers to be the best at every aspect of car accident cases. But the foundation of a great case is a great client. Thanks!

I'd say this lawyer is in the top three of the best you'll ever see. Add this attorney to the interview list if you ever get in an automobile accident. This Law Firm is on another level.

Response from the owner:Much appreciated. Techniques that an attorney or any professional uses are paramount for success. This is part of our lawyers training and preparation. It leads to success. Thank you!

The Hoffman law firm is truly professional. After hiring them I was truly relieved and knew I was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner:Being in good hands is important. Many lawyers take cases with little experience and little resources. Our firm specialized decades ago. We are focused exclusively on accident cases.

The lawyers on tv just dont compare for auto accident injury cases. Mr.Hoffmann is as good as they get.

Response from the owner:Thank you. The TV attorneys are just settlement mills. People are hiring a paralegal, not a lawyer. Our law firm is different. You are represented by an attorney and we do not have settlement quotas.

If you have ever watched any lawyers, you will agree this is one of the best automobile accident litigators in Saint Louis County.

I would describe this lawyer as highly educated, sharp, and top of his game. Explains the car accident process and treatment options well. The lawyer said if they don’t pay you, we will have the jury take it from the insurance company. Great lawyer. Dynamic person.

Interviewed all the TV car accident lawyers and decided to call this law firm that had great reviews. So happy I did. What a difference!

Response from the owner:TV car accident lawyers are just mass production. This is not a good fit for litigated cases. Paralegals instead of lawyers. Monthly quotas for settlements. Car accident victims end up in a cattle call with the lawyers on TV.

Love my car accident lawyer. This law firm is a step above.

Response from the owner:Our lawyers train and track the best approaches on cases. Whether litigation in cases or the practicalities of certain treatment, the growth of our lawyers over time is paramount. Always staying ahead of and setting practice trends. Thank you.

Serious family member have a car accident injury? Look no further. This litigator is for real. Always two steps ahead of the other lawyer.

Response from the owner:This is a sad reality for car accident lawyers. The #1 passenger in an auto accident is a relative. Helping a family make it through this and putting the family back together is one of the most rewarding things I do as an automobile accident attorney.

This lawyer handles really big accident cases in St Louis. He is a lawyer, accountant and has his masters in tax so he gets the injury cases for individuals that can never go back to work or individuals own a business and cannot run it due to injury. He specializes in valuations of massive loss. Thank goodness a firm like this exists.

Response from the owner:Thank you. When accident are severe and you lose the ability to work or to continue a business, having an accounting and tax background is key. Valuing large losses are second nature for us.

Asked a trauma surgeon who operates on car accident victims who are the best injury lawyers that have taken his deposition. He said “by far” it was Mr Hoffmann. Interviewed several attorneys and this was a correct assessment. In a league of his own!

Response from the owner:Our attorney have deposed nearly all the trauma surgeons at every Level 1 Trauma Center in Saint Louis. These doctors save lives after a car accident. Whether controlling bleeding or reestablishing blood flow or bone structures, they are life savers.

Few lawyers in St. Louis can handle the biggest injury cases! This is one of them!

Response from the owner:Our law firm has made great efforts in terms of training to handle life changing injury cases. Whether in depth knowledge of the medical, loss of income and earning capacity, or lifetime medical care plans, our clients feel confident and know their case is in good hands. Thank you for the compliment.

Cannot say enough about this lawyer. Call if in an accident. This attorney handles the biggest car accidents in St Louis.

Response from the owner:Thanks Ash! Our biggest source of cases is our clients. Our second biggest referral source is defense lawyers telling their relatives to call us. Few lawyers can handle the largest cases. Our law firm welcomes and has trained for this. We don’t do mass production settlement like the lawyers on TV. Our clients can never go back to work. Their cases need massive focus and effort and often long fought litigation.

So glad I called attorney Hoffmann. This time I got it right! So glad I hired the Hoffmann Law Firm - professional, reliable and available.

Response from the owner:Thanks Taylor. Our lawyers answer the phone day, night, weekends and even during lunch. Being professional means training to beat the best defense lawyers. Client rely on us to get results and we do.

Great lawyer. Cares about his clients, knows his stuff and goes the extra mile. I recommend this lawyer for car wreck injury claim. Every other lawyer on TV would not even help with my property claim. This attorney did.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words. Every case starts with a great client. You are correct the car accident lawyers on TV are mass production settlement mills. When injury clients fire them, we get their files and the cases are not worked up at all. Appreciate your confidence in us!

Major car accident injury in St Louis area for a family member. Four different lawyers we know said the same thing - call Chris Hoffmann. On another level.

Response from the owner:This is such a great compliment. Most of our cases come from prior client or lawyers that also do car accidents cases but the particular case is too large or too difficult. Being a lawyer and an accountant, we specialize in cases with total lost of income, earning capacity and/or often the inability to continue a family business. Evaluations such as these are second nature for our lawyers. Thanks.

This attorney is very smart, very experienced, returns phone calls and knows the answers when asked. One call and I knew this was a great law firm for auto accidents.

Response from the owner:Our law firm appreciates this. This is a comment we get from so many people who call…”none of the lawyers we called told me all the things that you did.” Whether we take a car accident case or not, helping people is a good thing.

5 Star Lawyer for sure! Best you will find in Saint Louis.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the 5 Star Rating. Reviews like this are great. Injury victims quickly figure out the TV advertisers are not good. We work hard at being the best we can be and it reflects in our representation of car accident victims.

Watch this lawyer in action. Was way better than all the others. Get this lawyer for an automobile accident for sure.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the recommendation. Besides doing cases, our attorneys train for this. Hard work, case knowledge and technique is key to success in car accident litigation.

Michelle S.

Very pleased with The Hoffmann Law Firm. Lawyers are attentive, friendly and go the distance to force the settlement you want. The TV lawyers recommend low offers. This law firm gets the maximum.

Response from the owner:We get calls from car accident victims that had to fire the TV lawyers that they hired. They give the same two reasons: 1) they never spoke to a lawyer at the Big TV law firms, only a paralegal, and 2) the paralegal recommended they accept a low offer. At our law firm, you only talk to the lawyer and if an offer is low we tell you to sue. Thanks!

Frequently asked questions

What should I do after a car accident in Missouri?

Seek medical attention, call the police, exchange information with the other driver, and document the scene with photos. Avoid speaking with the insurance companies before consulting a Missouri car accident lawyer, so you can protect your rights.

Is Missouri a no-fault state for car accidents?

No. Missouri is an at-fault state, meaning the driver responsible for the accident is liable for the damages. Victims can seek compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance or file a lawsuit if necessary.

What compensation can I recover after a Missouri car accident?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and future medical expenses. The amount depends on the severity of the injuries and on fault.

How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Missouri?

In Missouri, the statute of limitations for car accident injury claims is generally five years from the date of the accident. Acting quickly still helps, since evidence can disappear and witness memories fade over time.

What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may be able to seek compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. A Missouri car accident lawyer can help you navigate that process.

How much does it cost to hire a Missouri car accident lawyer?

The Hoffmann Law Firm works on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront, and we’re only paid if we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is free; call us 24/7 at (314) 361-4242.
