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!
People say this is the best car accident lawyer in St.Louis. Yep! Seeing this attorney in action is incredible.
Response from the owner:Great compliment. We work hard to be the best. Our lawyers also work very hard to help other lawyers in our profession. Not matter what, a cases is only as good as the client is. Thanks!
Response from the owner:Thanks! Referrals and recommendations from prior car accident clients is our #1 source of cases. People who grew to trust us send family and friends.
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.
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!
Rush hour, which refers to the part of the day when most people commute to work or home, is a leading cause of road congestion. Unfortunately, road congestion increases the risk of St. Louis auto accidents. Let’s consider 6 common road congestion-related accidents and what you can personally do to prevent causing them.
1.Distracted Driving Accidents
Many drivers take out their phones and start browsing, texting, or calling when stuck in traffic. Others look for snacks to eat while behind the wheel. Unfortunately, these actions distract the drivers and divert their attention off the road, which, in turn, increases the risk of a collision.
2.U-Turn Accidents
As a driver, you may be tempted to make a U-Turn in the process of searching for an alternative route. However, doing so without carefully and adequately assessing the road increases your risk of being T-boned by oncoming traffic. What’s more, you could be hit by the car behind you while reversing or sideswipe the vehicle in the next lane.
3.Multiple Car Accident
Generally, the space in between cars in a traffic jam is usually minimal. This increases the chances of multiple car accidents. For example, if you hit an emergency brake, chances are the drivers behind you may not have enough space and time to hit theirs, and they might drive right into you. As a result, this may cause a rear-end chain reaction accident.
4.Collisions on the Shoulder of the Road
The shoulder is a pavement designed for use by emergency vehicles during traffic congestion. You may be tempted to take advantage of this clear space but could end up colliding with a speeding police car or an ambulance.
5.Road Rage Accidents
Many motorists are guilty of aggressive behaviors. This includes tailgating, and running red lights, especially during rush hour, when in a hurry, and running late to work. Doing so can put your life on the line because it increases your chances of colliding with other vehicles. It would, therefore, help to stay calm and avoid putting yourself in danger.
6.Head-on Collisions
Some drivers might get so impatient they decide to use the opposite lane to avoid delays. Sadly, the oncoming traffic may reach them before they find a space to squeeze back into the congested traffic. This may result in a head-on collision with fatal injuries.
How Can You Prevent Traffic Accidents?
Adopt the following measures to avoid or minimize common accidents due to road traffic congestion:
Comply with traffic regulations
Don’t speed. Instead, be patient and allow traffic to ease off.
Avoid sudden movements as much as possible.
Clearly signal your direction.

Everyone hates driving on congested roads with slow traffic, however it’s often unavoidable. Don’t let the frustration of driving on congested roads make you throw caution to the wind. Car accidents are likely to occur on congested roads.
We understand the stress and frustration of driving on roads with heavy traffic. Fortuantely, there are a few things you can do to safely drive on congested roads.
Don’t Drive Fast
Slow driving speeds are characteristic of congested roads, but when you’re running behind schedule, you might be tempted to drive fast to make it to your destination on time. This is a bad idea.
Resist the urge to drive fast in heavy traffic regardless of how late you are. That’s the surest way to avoid getting into an accident that will only cause further delays. Driving carefully and getting to your destination safely are more important than getting there on time.
Avoid Weaving Through Traffic
Apart from speeding up, the congested roads may tempt drivers into weaving through the traffic. This is especially common with seasoned drivers who think they can best the heavy traffic. This could result in a fatal car crash.
Another dangerous scenario is if a passenger or pet darts into the congested road. Because you’re too busy switching lanes and weaving through traffic, you may not see the pet or passenger. As a result, you may end up hitting them or causing an accident.
Always Look at the Rearview and Side mirrors
Pay keen attention to your rear-view and side mirrors while driving on congested roads. By looking at the mirrors, you can spot any cars, bikes, or pedestrians trying to overtake your car. That way, you can let them safely pass you.
Most drivers overlook their back mirror when driving on congested roads. That’s because they assume that no one is looking to go past them. Keep a close eye on your rear-view and side mirrors, so you don’t collide with anyone trying to overtake your car.
Avoid Distractions
Driving in slow traffic may seem boring, and the urge to text your friend or a family member may come naturally. However, avoid any sort of distraction while driving on congested roads. This includes texting, calling, checking your hair, or doing your make-up. Distracted driving, regardless of the amount of traffic, is dangerous.
