Webster Groves’s mix of residential streets, commercial corridors, and through-traffic creates conditions that frequently lead to serious accidents. We regularly represent clients injured in collisions throughout Webster Groves, particularly at:
High-Risk Intersections:
Distracted drivers rushing through residential neighborhoods, speeding on Big Bend Boulevard, and unsafe turning movements near Old Webster all contribute to accident frequency. We investigate every collision thoroughly, obtaining police reports, traffic camera footage when available, witness statements, and vehicle data recorder information to establish fault and liability.
Missouri law mandates minimum auto insurance of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage. These minimums rarely cover serious injury costs. We pursue every available compensation source:
Webster Groves’s walkable neighborhoods and strong cycling culture make pedestrian and bicycle accidents a serious concern. We’ve represented clients struck by vehicles while:
Missouri law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and give cyclists adequate space when passing. Unfortunately, many drivers fail to follow these rules—particularly when distracted by phones or rushing through residential areas. Pedestrian and bicycle accidents often result in devastating injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, and severe road rash requiring extensive treatment.
Property owners throughout Webster Groves—from business owners to landlords—have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. We handle premises liability claims involving:
Missouri’s comparative fault system means property owners often try to blame victims for their own injuries. We counter these defense tactics with thorough investigation, expert testimony regarding property maintenance standards, photographic evidence, and documentation of the owner’s knowledge of dangerous conditions.
With multiple schools throughout Webster Groves—including Webster Groves High School, Hixson Middle School, and numerous elementary schools—school zone accidents pose particular risks to children and families. We’ve handled cases involving:
These cases require immediate action to preserve evidence and protect children’s rights. Missouri law provides special protections for minors in personal injury cases, including extended statutes of limitations that don’t begin running until the child reaches age 18 in some circumstances.
Webster Groves Station and Kirkwood Station serve many local residents. We represent clients injured in Metro-related accidents including:
Public transportation cases involve unique legal considerations, including governmental immunity issues and shortened notice requirements. Our experience with these complex matters ensures your rights are fully protected.
“Chris fought for us when we needed it most.”
“Our teenage daughter was seriously injured by a distracted driver on Big Bend. The insurance company tried to minimize her injuries and offered a fraction of what she needed for ongoing medical care. Chris took the case to trial and won a verdict that fully covered her treatment and future needs. We’re forever grateful.”
— Karen and Tom B., Webster Groves
“Personal attention and outstanding results.”
“After slipping on an icy sidewalk outside a business in Old Webster, I suffered a broken hip that required surgery. The property owner’s insurance denied responsibility. Chris investigated, found evidence they’d been warned about the ice, and negotiated a $265,000 settlement that covered all my medical bills and lost income.”
— Dorothy M., 63119
“The only lawyer I’d trust with my family’s case.”
“When my husband was killed by a drunk driver, Chris handled our wrongful death case with such compassion and professionalism. He explained every step clearly, kept us informed, and ultimately secured a settlement that provides financial security for our children’s future. He truly cares about the families he represents.”
— Michelle R., Webster Groves
Contact us by phone, email, or our website contact form. We’ll schedule a complimentary consultation at a convenient location—our St. Louis office, your Webster Groves home, or even the hospital if you’re still receiving treatment. During this meeting, we will:
You’re under no obligation to hire us. If we don’t think we can help you effectively, we’ll tell you honestly and potentially refer you to another resource.
Once you retain The Dixon Injury Firm, we immediately begin building your case:
This comprehensive investigation creates a strong foundation for maximum compensation.
After fully documenting your injuries and losses, we prepare a detailed demand package and present it to the insurance company. This package includes:
We then negotiate aggressively with insurance adjusters whose job is to minimize payouts. Our reputation for trial success means insurance companies know we’re prepared to go to court if they won’t offer fair compensation. This credibility strengthens our negotiating position.
Most cases settle through negotiation, but some require litigation. If the insurance company refuses adequate compensation, we’ll file a lawsuit in St. Louis County Circuit Court and take your case before a jury. Our extensive trial experience ensures we’re fully prepared to present your case persuasively.
Throughout this entire process, you pay nothing out of pocket. We work exclusively on a contingency fee basis—our fees come only from your recovery. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.
Missouri imposes strict deadlines for filing personal injury lawsuits. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim:
Don’t wait to seek legal help. Evidence disappears, witnesses move away, and memories fade. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.
Missouri follows a “pure comparative fault” rule. You can recover damages even if you were partially at fault—your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re 25% at fault in an accident with $100,000 in total damages, you can still recover $75,000.
Insurance companies exploit this system by exaggerating victims’ fault to reduce their payouts. We defend against these tactics with solid evidence, credible witnesses, and expert testimony.
Missouri law allows injury victims to seek multiple types of compensation:
Economic Damages:
Non-Economic Damages:
Punitive Damages: In cases involving particularly reckless conduct—such as drunk driving or extreme negligence—Missouri courts may award punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter similar future behavior.
Every personal injury case we handle operates on a contingency fee basis:
This arrangement ensures everyone has access to quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.
Seek medical attention first—even if you feel fine. Some serious injuries show no immediate symptoms. Then: call police and get a report, photograph the scene and all damage, collect witness contact information, avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies, and contact a personal injury attorney before accepting any settlement offer.
Every case is unique. Value depends on: injury severity, medical costs, lost income, degree of fault, available insurance, permanent impairment, and life impact. During your free consultation, we’ll provide an honest assessment based on similar cases we’ve handled.
Almost never. Initial offers are typically far below fair value. Insurance companies hope you’ll accept quickly before understanding your full damages. Our clients typically recover significantly more than initial offers—often several times more.
Straightforward cases with clear liability may settle in 3-6 months. Complex cases involving serious injuries, disputed liability, or litigation can take 1-3 years. We work efficiently while never sacrificing the quality of your case for speed.
You may still recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage (if you purchased it). We can also explore other compensation sources and, in some cases, pursue the at-fault driver’s personal assets.
Yes. We work on contingency fees—you pay nothing unless we win. We advance all case costs, so money never stands between you and quality representation. Studies consistently show that represented clients recover more than unrepresented ones, even after paying attorney fees.
Most cases settle without trial. However, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. This preparation strengthens our negotiating leverage and ensures we’re ready if litigation becomes necessary.
Settle too quickly and you lose the right to additional compensation. We wait until you reach maximum medical improvement or until we can accurately predict future medical needs. This ensures your settlement covers all damages, not just immediate costs.
We proudly represent injury victims throughout Webster Groves and surrounding communities:
