The I-270 interchange at Olive Boulevard is one of the highest-traffic junctions in St Louis County. It combines highway speeds with dense commercial development, frequent lane changes near ramps, and heavy truck traffic from the industrial and office parks in the area. The volume of vehicles moving through that interchange at varying speeds creates constant accident risk. Olive Boulevard itself has a long commercial strip with frequent access points and turning conflicts.

Creve Coeur is in St Louis County, so cases go to the St Louis County Circuit Court in Clayton. If your accident happened on the I-270 itself, it falls under Missouri State Highway Patrol jurisdiction regardless of county. Accidents on Olive Boulevard and other local roads are handled by Creve Coeur city police or St Louis County police depending on the specific location.

Yes. Missouri premises liability law applies to corporate campuses, office parks, and commercial properties the same as retail locations. If you were lawfully on the property — as an employee, vendor, client, or invited visitor — and a dangerous condition caused your injury, the property owner owes you a duty of care. Workplace injuries involving employees are typically handled through workers' compensation first, but third-party liability claims are often available alongside workers' comp when a party other than your employer contributed to the accident.

Nothing upfront. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. Our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you, and it is only paid if we win. If we do not recover anything for you, you owe us nothing. There are no consultation fees, no retainer fees, and no hourly billing. The contingency arrangement means our interests are aligned with yours — we are motivated to recover as much as possible because our fee depends on it.

Missouri follows pure comparative fault, which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault but not eliminated entirely. If you were 40 percent at fault for an accident and your total damages are $100,000, you recover $60,000. Even a plaintiff found to be 99 percent at fault can theoretically recover one percent of their damages. Insurance companies understand this rule and routinely try to inflate your fault percentage during settlement negotiations. Having an attorney who can document the other party's fault accurately and completely makes a direct financial difference in what you recover.

Five years for most personal injury claims under RSMo 516.120. Medical malpractice is two years under RSMo 516.105. Wrongful death is three years under RSMo 537.100. Claims against government entities have separate notice requirements that are often as short as 90 days, which is completely separate from and in addition to the lawsuit filing deadline. Missing any of these deadlines almost always permanently bars your claim, regardless of how clear the negligence was.
