This legal professional has shown exceptional competence and dedication in their field. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking legal representation that is committed to unwavering advocacy and support throughout the entirety of their case.
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!
Major car accident injury in St Louis area for a family member. Four different lawyers we know said the same thing - call Chris Hoffmann. On another level.
Response from the owner: This is such a great compliment. Most of our cases come from prior client or lawyers that also do car accidents cases but the particular case is too large or too difficult. Being a lawyer and an accountant, we specialize in cases with total lost of income, earning capacity and/or often the inability to continue a family business. Evaluations such as these are second nature for our lawyers. Thanks.
Best in St Louis for auto accident cases. Nobody else is even close.
Response from the owner: So kind of you to leave this review. Whether our lawyers are going after big insurance or their lawyers, skill and experience are essential and win the day for our auto accident clients. Thanks!
This attorney is very smart, very experienced, returns phone calls and knows the answers when asked. One call and I knew this was a great law firm for auto accidents.
Response from the owner: Our law firm appreciates this. This is a comment we get from so many people who call…”none of the lawyers we called told me all the things that you did.” Whether we take a car accident case or not, helping people is a good thing.
5 Star Lawyer for sure! Best you will find in Saint Louis.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the 5 Star Rating. Reviews like this are great. Injury victims quickly figure out the TV advertisers are not good. We work hard at being the best we can be and it reflects in our representation of car accident victims.
Watch this lawyer in action. Was way better than all the others. Get this lawyer for an automobile accident for sure.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the recommendation. Besides doing cases, our attorneys train for this. Hard work, case knowledge and technique is key to success in car accident litigation.
Very pleased with The Hoffmann Law Firm. Lawyers are attentive, friendly and go the distance to force the settlement you want. The TV lawyers recommend low offers. This law firm gets the maximum.
Response from the owner: We get calls from car accident victims that had to fire the TV lawyers that they hired. They give the same two reasons: 1) they never spoke to a lawyer at the Big TV law firms, only a paralegal, and 2) the paralegal recommended they accept a low offer. At our law firm, you only talk to the lawyer and if an offer is low we tell you to sue. Thanks!
Several lawyers said to call this lawyer because he is the best. You will appreciate this law firm. Helped with the injury and property claims. Attentive and knowledgeable. Great reputation in St Louis.
Response from the owner: Thanks Lexi. Our #1 source of cases is other lawyers referring us cases that are too big for them to handle.
Would use this accident law firm. Best in Saint Louis. Highly rated and it shows. After one phone call, you just know this attorney is better. 5 Stars!!
Response from the owner: Thanks for recommending our lawyers in St Louis. There is a major difference in lawyers as you well know.
Car accident lawyers on tv are not good . Get this attorney ! He is a pro !!
Response from the owner: Thanks Nathan. TV lawyers market for car accidents, use paralegals instead of lawyers and give their employees settlement quotas hence forcing cheap settlements. At our law firm, you get a lawyer who keeps pushing forward for more.
Quality lawyer. Best law firm for a car accident. Advice was way better than other lawyers I called in St. Louis. Helped with property and injury.
Response from the owner: Thanks. The TV lawyer advertisers are just car accident settlement mills. As soon as people call a real attorney, they always tell us how much better and more helpful we were. Appreciate this.
This lawyer is big time. Smooth. The other lawyers on the other side were not nearly as good as this attorney. I recommend friends in St Louis to him for accident injuries and they all say the same thing…”that lawyer is great.”
Response from the owner: Very nice of you to say. Our lawyers work hard on auto accident cases.
Family used this car accident attorney after a crash. Located in St Louis. This lawyer answers the phone and will walk you through the process. Knows his stuff!
Response from the owner: Taking calls, going over the car accident injury and property process is important. Clients that call always say we are the only lawyers that explained everything. Much appreciated.
Tried the lawyers on TV. They were not good. Hired this car accident lawyer instead because he had great reviews. The reviews are correct. This attorney is as good as they get. He does big injury cases that need to be litigated.
Response from the owner: Car accident lawyers on TV do not litigate cases. It is mass production. They have quotas. Local attorneys are best on auto accidents.
Used this attorney for an auto accident. Highly recommend this lawyer in St. Louis. Communicates well.
Response from the owner: Communicating with clients is essential. Taking the client though the car accident claims process is important otherwise major mistakes can occur. It is an effort that we make. Thanks!
Fantastic law firm, I would recommend! Received free consultation related to an auto accident when my parked car was damaged by a baseball. Very supportive advice, these guys are good!
I was in a car accident in St.Louis and hired Chris as my lawyer. He was amazing!!! He helped me every step of the way and was able to get me a great settlement!!!Highly, highly, highly recommend him!
Response from the owner: Each step is important in a car accident. Thanks for recommending us for car accidents injury claims.
In addition to the damage to the car and her own injuries, a pregnant woman must also consider the possibility of injury to her unborn baby.
If you are pregnant and are involved in an auto accident, you should seek medical attention immediately. Even if the accident was minor and you feel fine, it is still important to go to the emergency room.
Risks of Being In an Accident While Pregnant
Studies show that being involved in a car accident while pregnant can significantly attribute to a high-risk pregnancy. What a pregnant woman does immediately after being involved in a car accident is crucial for the health and well-being of the mother-to-be and her unborn baby. Even a low-speed accident, or slight fender bender, could cause injury. In the case of a woman that already has a high-risk pregnancy, being involved in even a slight accident can cause additional complications.
The trauma of being involved in an accident can increase the risks of pregnancy complications. Some of these include:
Preterm Birth
Placental Abruption
Premature Rupture of the Membranes
Miscarriage
Hemorrhaging
Emergency Caesarian Section
Placental Abruption
Placental abruption is one of the more common injuries resulting from minor trauma while pregnant. Placental abruption occurs when the placenta peels away from the uterine wall before the baby’s birth. This condition can be life-threatening for both mother and baby. Vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of this condition. However, sometimes the bleeding is internal and requires a medical examination to determine the problem. This is one reason why receiving immediate medical assistance is so important.
Premature Birth
The impact or resulting injuries from a car accident during pregnancy can be so severe, potentially leading to premature birth. Premature birth can have serious health implications for both the infant and the mother. For example, the infant is usually at an increased risk of developing complications such as breathing difficulties, vision problems, and developmental delays. The mother may suffer from uterine rupture, placental abruption, and bleeding. In some cases, the mother may experience postpartum depression.
Miscarriage
Miscarriages can cause a range of physical and psychological effects. Physically, miscarriage can lead to heavy and prolonged bleeding, loss of fluids and electrolytes, and a risk of infection. Psychologically, miscarriage can lead to feelings of guilt, grief, depression, and anxiety. It can also impact a woman’s relationship with her partner, as well as her feelings toward any future pregnancies.
Dealing With the Loss of a Baby After An Accident
Losing a baby is an incredibly painful and agonizing experience. These feelings are often overwhelming. When a loss such as this occurs due to a car or truck accident, the parents will need legal counseling.

Safety Tips to Take When Driving With a Baby in Your Vehicle
When you become a parent, one of your top priorities is ensuring your child’s safety. This extends to every aspect of their lives, including when in your car.
It’s important to take precautions when driving with a baby in your vehicle, as there are many risks associated with this. Here are seven safety tips that will help keep your child safe while you are on the road.
Buckle Them Up
Perhaps the most important safety tip is ensuring your child is properly restrained in their car seat. Whether using a car seat, a booster seat, or just a seat belt, ensure your little one is properly secured before you start driving. It only takes a few seconds, but it could mean the difference between life and death in an accident.
Do Not Use Loose Items
Once your child is buckled into their car seat, make sure that there are no loose items around them that could become projectiles in the event of a collision.
Limit Distractions
It’s easy to get distracted when driving with a baby, especially if they are crying. And, of course, that’s the last thing you want when you’re behind the wheel. After all, even a momentary lapse in attention can have disastrous consequences. That’s why it’s important to limit how much you interact with your child while behind the wheel. If possible, have another passenger in the car with you so that they can help care for the baby.
Plan Your Route
When driving with a baby, it is important to plan your route in advance. This will help you avoid any areas that might be congested or dangerous.
Drive Carefully
One of the most important safety tips when driving with a baby is to drive carefully. This means obeying all traffic laws and being extra cautious when behind the wheel.
Be Prepared for Emergencies
It is always a good idea to be prepared for emergencies when driving with a baby. Keep a first-aid kit in your car, as well as any other items that you might need in the event of an accident or breakdown.
Take Breaks
If you are going on a long drive, make sure to take breaks so that you can stretch your legs and take a break from being in the car. This will help everyone stay calm and relaxed during the journey.
