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.

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.

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!

Understanding Your Rights After a St. Louis Car Accident

Missouri’s complex traffic and insurance laws can make it challenging to navigate the aftermath of a car accident. A St. Louis car accident lawyer understands these laws and can help ensure your rights are protected throughout the claims process.

Immediate Steps Your Attorney Will Take

When you work with a car accident attorney, they will immediately obtain your accident report and begin gathering crucial evidence. This includes:

  • Collecting witness statements
  • Securing video footage
  • Documenting the accident scene
  • Preserving physical evidence
  • Gathering medical records

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. A dedicated insurance claim attorney can handle all communications with insurance adjusters, ensuring your rights are protected and preventing you from accepting a settlement that’s less than you deserve.

Calculating Your Full Compensation

Many accident victims don’t realize the full extent of compensation they may be entitled to receive. Your attorney will help calculate damages, including:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Rehabilitation costs

Some accidents involve additional complexities. For instance, if you’ve suffered a spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury, your attorney will work with medical professionals to understand the full impact of your injuries.

Handling Various Types of Accidents

Whether you’ve been involved in a rear-end collision, a hit-and-run accident, or any other type of vehicle collision, your attorney will develop a strategy specific to your case.

Time Limitations and Legal Requirements

Missouri has specific deadlines for filing car accident claims. Your attorney will ensure all paperwork is filed correctly and within these time limits, protecting your right to compensation.

24/7 Legal Support

Many accident victims have questions outside of regular business hours. That’s why our attorneys offer 24-hour legal advice to address your concerns when they arise.

Getting Started with Your Case

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, don’t wait to seek legal representation. A qualified St. Louis car accident lawyer can evaluate your case, explain your options, and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Missouri’s at-fault system and how it affects your case is crucial. Your attorney will guide you through the process and fight for your rights every step of the way.
