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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

It’s not uncommon for car accident victims to suffer some form of facial trauma, whether it’s caused by the airbag deploying and violently hitting the face, bits of glass that cut the skin, or even other lose objects thrown inside the vehicle upon impact.

These face injuries can be devastating and have a major impact on a car accident victim’s quality of life. It’s important to speak with an experienced St. Louis car accident attorney to ensure you know your legal rights and options after a car accident.

Common Face Injuries After a Car Accident

Facial injury” is a very broad term that can point to different things. Here are the five most common types of facial trauma one can sustain during a vehicle collision.

1. Fractures

You have a total of 14 bones in your face, which could potentially break in a car accident. If they do not heal properly, your figure can be changed forever.

2. Lacerations

The skin or muscles can suffer from cuts. The deeper these cuts are, the more likely you could have scars that may affect your appearance.

3. Soft Tissue Damage

Apart from aesthetics, deeper cuts can affect the functionality of your facial muscles, which can impair your facial function permanently. 

4. Burns

If the vehicle you’re in is caught on fire, you can sustain burn injuries on your body. If the face is affected, it’s likely you’ll have scarring or discoloration on the skin that was affected.

5. Eye Injuries

Damages to the eyes are also considered facial injuries. In the worst case scenarios, these injuries can leave you partially or permanently blind.

What Are Your Legal Options?

You may be entitled to compensation for your face injuries that resulted from a St. Louis car accident, even if the procedures you need are cosmetic in nature, and aren’t necessarily vital. Physical scars or deformities can impact your mental state, and affect your self-confidence, how you interact with other people, and can even cause depression in some patients.

As a result, don’t assume you won’t be able to get a settlement for cosmetic surgery to fix scarred tissue. Remember, you get some push back from the other driver’s insurance company. This makes it all the more important to work with an experienced St. Louis car accident lawyer. They can represent you in all proceedings and fight to get you the compensation you are legally entitled to.

The insurance company cannot decide what treatment you can get or not. Your lawyer can show how your life was impacted by the accident, and how a procedure can help get your life back on track.

You Deserve to Be Compensated

Face injuries can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. What’s worse, if the injury has left you with scars, it’s almost like you’re constantly wearing a reminder of the violent impact you’ve gone through.
