No Fee Unless You Win
At Gary Burger, we help injured people across St. Louis regain control after serious accidents disrupt health, income, and daily routines. As a personal injury lawyer team working in collaboration with the St. Louis Firm, we help clients navigate medical disruption, financial strain, and insurance pressure with clarity and purpose. Serious injuries often bring immediate treatment needs, time away from work, and rapid contact from insurance companies seeking early statements or quick resolutions. Our work begins by stabilizing the legal side of the situation, so injured people do not face those pressures alone.
Personal injury claims require careful attention from the start. Evidence can disappear, records may become harder to obtain, and early decisions often influence how insurers evaluate responsibility and damages. We focus on identifying how the incident occurred, who holds legal responsibility, and how injuries affect daily life and long-term stability. This process includes reviewing medical documentation, accident details, witness accounts, and the financial impact of treatment and lost income. Clear communication remains central, allowing clients to understand each step without added stress or confusion.

Local familiarity plays an important role in injury cases. Missouri law, St. Louis courts, and regional insurance practices shape how claims progress and resolve. We apply that knowledge to anticipate challenges, address liability disputes, and pursue compensation grounded in real losses. Every case receives focused preparation and steady guidance, allowing injured individuals to concentrate on recovery while the legal process moves forward with direction and care.
We have multiple Five-Stars Reviews on Google from happy clients.
When you schedule your free consultation with a personal injury and accident lawyer in St. Louis, you should come prepared with specific questions for us to address. Some of the common questions clients ask us are:
Legal representation helps protect injured people from unfair blame, undervalued claims, and aggressive insurance tactics. Insurance companies often move quickly to limit payouts or shift responsibility. Without guidance, injured individuals risk accepting settlements that fail to cover medical care, lost income, or future needs. Our team at Gary Burger gathers evidence, handles negotiations, and prepares claims with precision. This approach helps protect claim value while allowing injured people to focus on recovery rather than legal pressure.
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront costs and no payment unless we recover compensation. This structure removes financial barriers and allows injured people to seek experienced representation without added stress. Our firm invests time and resources from the start, focusing on results rather than hourly billing. Clients gain access to legal support while concentrating on healing and stability.
Missouri law generally allows five years to file most personal injury lawsuits. Under Missouri Revised Statutes Section 516.120, actions involving injury to a person or property typically fall within this five-year period, although certain circumstances may alter deadlines, including delayed discovery or claims involving minors. Early review helps preserve evidence and avoids unnecessary complications tied to timing.
A valid claim often involves negligence, measurable harm, and a clear link between conduct and injury. Our team reviews accident details, medical documentation, and surrounding circumstances to assess whether another party failed to act responsibly. Each situation differs. We focus on facts, not assumptions, and explain options clearly so clients understand where they stand before moving forward.
Our attorneys at Gary Burger remain directly involved throughout the case, from investigation through resolution. We manage strategy, evidence reviews, and legal decisions while keeping clients informed at every stage. Direct involvement allows careful oversight, timely responses, and thoughtful planning. This hands-on approach supports accuracy, accountability, and steady progress as the case moves forward through negotiation or litigation.
