Experienced St. Louis Area Personal Injury Attorney

Get Honest Legal Advice, Not the Runaround

Are you suffering from a personal injury due to another person's negligence or wrongdoing? Have you been hurt in a car accident, slip and fall accident or been bitten by a dog?  If you have been hurt because of the negligence of others, you may be entitled to compensation for the financial and other losses you have suffered as a result. 

At Helge M. Puchalla, P.C., we have more than 15 years of experience in handling personal injury claims. We understand that this is a stressful and disrupting time in your life.  Besides the physical pain, you are likely concerned about how you pay your bills, return to work and get back on your feet, financially and emotionally.  Attorney Helge M. Puchalla is committed to providing you with sound legal guidance and realistic expectations about potential outcomes. You have enough to worry about: You need an attorney that will be honest, committed, accessible and understanding of your situation. 

For well over a decade, we have been helping individuals in the greater St. Louis area get the compensation they deserve for their injuries.  We can help you too. Contact our office today with your personal injury matter. 

We seek compensation for any accident that was caused by another's negligence, in situations including:

  • Car accidents 
  • Truck accidents
  • Bike accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Dog bites

Just because there was minor damage to your car or your injury didn't show up on an X-ray doesn't mean you are all right. Injury doesn't just mean broken bones -- soft tissue injuries to your neck and back can be just as serious and have long-lasting effects.  If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, slip and fall accident or bitten by a dog, be sure to document any pain you have and see a doctor as soon as possible.

Do's and Don'ts of Personal Injury Claims

Do:

  • Get medical attention immediately after the accident, even if there is no pain. Sometimes injuries take awhile to manifest.
  • Get information from the other party and other witnesses.
  • Contact an attorney about your case. The sooner you contact us, the better your chances of receiving full compensation.

Don't:

  • Talk to a claims adjuster. This is the biggest mistake people make after an accident.
  • Have your car repaired before the damages have been documented. The damages to your car may help your case.

At our offices we believe that options that can avoid the cost and anguish of litigation should be explored first.  However, our strategy is to prepare for both settlement and litigation at the same time, so that if your matter should go to trial, you can be assured that we are ready to fight for your best interests at every stage.

Contact Helge M. Puchalla, P.C. to learn more about how we can help you obtain compensation for your injuries. Depending on the facts of your particular case, we will bring in another lawyer as co-counsel if necessary. It's like having two attorneys for the price of one.  With all personal injury cases, there is no fee unless we recover for you.
