Crashes that change everything
From rear-end collisions to serious multi-vehicle wrecks, we work to recover medical expenses, lost income, vehicle damage, and compensation for the pain and disruption that follow a crash.
Personal Injury
when life suddenly changes
A serious injury can upend everything — your work, your health, your family. You deserve representation that focuses on you while you focus on healing.
Who this is for
For people whose lives have been disrupted by someone else's negligence.
Catherine represents clients injured in auto and motorcycle accidents, in slip-and-fall and premises-liability incidents, and in cases involving wrongful death and serious injury.
Whether you're facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, or the long road of physical recovery, the goal is the same — to recover what you actually need to put your life back together, without the insurance company shortchanging you.
What it means
real recovery
More than a settlement check — a real recovery.
Personal injury claims involve far more than filling out a form. They require investigating the accident, documenting your injuries and losses, working with medical providers, and negotiating with insurance companies that are working to pay as little as possible.
When the insurance company won't offer what your case is worth, we're prepared to file suit and take it through litigation. The willingness to do that — and the experience to do it well — is often what changes the conversation.
You focus on healing. We focus on the recovery.
Case Types
The injuries we handle.
Every case is different. The common thread is that someone else's negligence has interrupted your life — and you deserve representation that takes that seriously.
Slip-and-fall, wrongful death, and serious injury
When unsafe property conditions, negligence, or a preventable tragedy causes serious harm, we help families seek the accountability and recovery their situation calls for.
Working with insurers
Let us handle the calls and the paperwork.
Insurance adjusters do this every day. You don't. Once we're involved, the calls, the forms, and the negotiations come through us — so you can focus on recovering instead of fielding pressure to settle quickly for too little.
We document the case carefully, push back on lowball offers, and keep you informed about what each step means for your eventual recovery.
Why timing matters
The sooner we're involved, the more we can do.
Personal injury cases are governed by deadlines — Missouri's statute of limitations sets a hard window for filing. Beyond legal deadlines, evidence fades quickly: witnesses move, surveillance footage gets overwritten, and physical scenes change.
Getting an attorney involved early lets us preserve evidence, document injuries contemporaneously, and start building the strongest possible case from day one.
It also keeps you from accidentally undermining your own case — a recorded statement to an adjuster, a quick settlement offer accepted in the first week, or a missed medical appointment can all reduce what you're ultimately able to recover.
The consultation is confidential, no-obligation, and free. There's no reason to wait.

From the first call to the final recovery.
01
