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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Millions of car accidents are reported in the United States every year, and unfortunately, many of them are caused by negligent driving. One common error, the failure to yield the right of way, is a leading cause of accidents. The failure to yield the right of way occurs when a driver does not slow down, move over, or stop when the road rules or road signals require the driver to do so. The failure to yield the right of way causes hundreds of car accidents in Missouri every year, injuring and killing other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and others sharing the road.
Understanding Yield Signs
Most roads in Missouri have markings and signs that clearly mention who should yield and who has the right of way. The road sign that indicates yield is an upside down triangle with “yield” written on it. This sign tells you to stop or slow down whenever there is another vehicle coming and to allow that vehicle to pass. However, if there is a stop sign instead of a yield sign, you are required to come to a complete stop and not just to yield. A marked crosswalk tells drivers to yield to pedestrians.
“The Rules of the Road”
These road signs clearly tell you what you need to do in a particular traffic situation, but what if there are no visible road signs? Our St. Louis car accident attorney explains that in such a case, the “rules of the road” would apply and provide guidance. For example, at a four-way stop where two roads converge, a driver who is approaching the intersection from any of the four sides must stop, look, and then proceed. In Missouri, at four-way stops, the first driver to approach and stop at the intersection has the right of way and the other drivers are required to yield.
The Need to Drive with Caution
It is important to be extra cautious at intersections and check twice before proceeding. It is always safer to yield to other vehicles and pedestrians than to rush forward. A driver commits an offense (failure to yield the right of way), if he or she is driving a vehicle and when approaching an intersection or crossing a roadway, does not yield the right of way to the other vehicle approaching the roadway that is to be crossed.
If you have been injured in an accident caused by another driver who failed to yield the right of way, you may be entitled to compensation. Call The Hoffmann Law Firm L.L.C. at (314) 361-4242 to understand your legal rights.
