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!
Imagine you’ve just received a call from your boss. They’re angry with you for something that wasn’t your fault, and they’ve given you a verbal warning. You’re feeling frustrated, helpless, and annoyed as you drive to work. Your mood has just taken a turn for the worse. Or you’ve just had an argument with your spouse about money. You’re feeling angry and upset as you walk to your car. As in the first scenario, your mood has just taken a turn for the worse. What you may not know is that your mood can impact your risk of being involved in a car crash.
In fact, researchers have found that being in a bad mood can increase your risk of crashing by nearly 10 times. And while it’s not possible to avoid all negative emotions, there are things you can do to manage them, so they don’t put you and other drivers at risk. First, let’s take a look at how mood can impact your driving.
How Mood Can Impact Your Driving
When you’re feeling angry, for example, you may be more likely to tailgate, make sudden lane changes or engage in road rage.
If you’re feeling sad or depressed, you may be more likely to drive too slowly or make careless mistakes.
If you’re feeling anxious or stressed, you may be more likely to grip the steering wheel tightly, have trouble concentrating or make rash decisions.
It’s important to remember that these effects are temporary and that they don’t necessarily mean you’re a bad driver. But they can increase your risk of being involved in a crash.
6 Tips to Manage Your Mood While Driving
There are things you can do to manage your mood while driving. Here are 6 of them:
Deep Breathing: Take deep breaths and count to four as you breathe in and out. This will help you relax and focus on your driving.
Listening to Music: Turn on calming or happy music to improve your mood. Avoid loud, aggressive, or fast-paced music, which can make you feel more agitated. If you choose to listen to music, make sure to adjust the stereo before you begin driving so that it does not become a distraction.
Stopping for a Break: If you’re feeling angry, stressed, or overwhelmed, pull over to a safe location and take a few minutes to calm down. Once you’re feeling more relaxed, continue driving.
Make a Concentrated Effort to Put Your Emotions Aside: This can be difficult, but it’s important to focus on the task of driving and not let your emotions get the best of you.
Think Positive Thoughts: If you’re feeling angry or stressed, try to think about something that makes you happy or calm. This will help improve your mood and make driving more enjoyable.
Talk to Someone: If you’re feeling angry, sad, or depressed, call a friend or family member and talk about what’s going on. This will help you feel better and take your mind off of driving.
“What if I Was Injured in a Car Crash Caused by With an Angry Driver?”
Other drivers also experience emotions that may increase their risk of causing a car accident. And while some people are able to manage their emotions and continue driving safely, there are some who aren’t. If you’re involved in a car crash caused by another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
These cases can be complex, often needing the input of a car accident reconstructionist to determine how the mood of the other driver impacted their ability to drive safely. In this case, it would be best to work with an experienced St. Louis injury attorney. An experienced attorney will be able to investigate the crash, help you determine who was at fault, and how to best prove your case.
If you or someone you know has been involved in a car crash caused by the negligence of another driver, The Hoffmann Law Firm has 25 years of experience. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation.
