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 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.

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!

If you’re experiencing hip pain after a car accident, you may be wondering what is going on. In this article, we’ll discuss the common causes of hip pain after a car accident and share some tips on getting treatment to alleviate the pain.

Causes of Hip Pain After a Car Accident

Hip fracture or broken hip bone is one of the leading causes of hip pain. This can occur if you are involved in a serious car crash.

Another common cause of hip pain is damage to the soft tissues around the joints, such as muscles, ligaments, and tendons. This can also result in pain, swelling, and difficulty using the joint.

Lastly, another common cause of hip pain is referred pain from another part of the body. For example, if you have a back injury, the pain may be referred to your hip. This type of pain can be challenging to diagnose, as it may not be immediately apparent where the pain is coming from.

Signs and Symptoms of Hip Pain After a Car Accident

If you are experiencing hip pain after a car accident, there are a few signs and symptoms that you can look out for. These include:

  • Pain in the hip region
  • Swelling of the joint
  • Difficulty using the joint
  • Stiffness in the joint
  • Muscle spasms around the hip area

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please see a doctor. They can diagnose the cause of your pain and provide you with the appropriate treatment.

Treatment for Hip Pain After a Car Accident

The treatment for hip pain after a car accident will depend on the underlying cause of the pain. For example, if you have a fracture or break in the hip bone, you may require surgery to repair the damage. On the other hand, if you have damage to the soft tissues around the joint, you may need physical therapy to help regain strength and mobility. Medication may also be prescribed to reduce inflammation and pain in some cases.

You may also try the following self-care measures:

  • Apply ice to the area
  • Wear a support brace or sling
  • Perform gentle stretching exercises
  • Consult a physical therapist for more specific exercises

Hip injuries can also cause trauma, where the victim feels scared or anxious after the crash. Therefore, if you’re struggling with severe hip pain, your doctor may refer you to a mental health professional. They can provide you with counseling and support to help you cope with your injuries.
