Personal Injury Attorney in St. Louis
When someone else's negligence leaves you injured, you deserve an attorney who will fight for every dollar of compensation you're owed. Jeff Goldfarb brings decades of courtroom experience to personal injury cases throughout Missouri.
Fighting for Injured Victims in Missouri
A serious injury can upend your life in an instant — lost income, mounting medical bills, and a long road to recovery. Insurance companies move quickly to minimize what they pay, and without experienced legal representation, injured victims often settle for far less than their case is worth. Jeff Goldfarb represents personal injury clients on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
How We Handle Personal Injury Cases
Every personal injury case begins with a thorough investigation — gathering accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert opinions. We calculate the full value of your claim, including current and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. We negotiate aggressively with insurance carriers and take cases to trial when a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Missouri Personal Injury Law
Missouri follows a pure comparative fault system, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident — your recovery is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Missouri's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is five years from the date of injury. Acting promptly preserves evidence and protects your right to recover.
Catastrophic and Wrongful Death Cases
Some injuries change lives permanently — spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and paralysis require lifelong care and support. Jeff Goldfarb has the experience and resources to handle high-stakes catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases, working with medical experts and life-care planners to document the full extent of your losses and fight for the compensation your family needs.
