Personal Injury

We are Springfield Missouri trial attorneys who handle personal injury claims.  If you or a family member have been injured in anyway, please call us for a free consultation.  We offer contingent contracts on these cases meaning you don’t pay anything until and if you win.

Automobile Accidents

If you have been the victim of a negligent driver, you have rights under the law for compensation. An injured person may have a claim for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, permanent disfigurement, partial or total disability, pain and suffering, loss of household contributions, and many other specific items of damage. Further, an automobile accident can forever change your life. Often, insurance companies will seek to settle your claim quickly in a manner that is best for them. It makes sense to make sure your physical condition is stable before you decide on any settlement. At O’Reilly & Preston, LLC we have experience dealing with insurance companies on injury claims. If you’ve been the victim of a negligent driver, we encourage you to contact us immediately. Often, time can be of the essence in automobile cases. Evidence at the scene, witness recollection, and medical issues can many times be dealt with more effectively sooner rather than later. We charge nothing to speak with you if you’ve been injured. Please call us for a free consultation on your injury claim.

Semi-Truck Accidents

If you have been the victim of a negligent truck driver, you have rights under the law for compensation. An injured person may have a claim for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, permanent disfigurement, partial or total disability, pain and suffering, loss of household contributions, and many other specific items of damage.

Wrongful Death Due to Negligence

Missouri law recognized a cause of action for the loss of a loved one due to the negligence of another. If you or a family member have lost someone due to the negligence of another driver or in any serious accident, you may have rights under RSMo. § 537.080. When spouses are left without their loved one’s income, or worse, children are unable to grow up with their mother or father, the law allows a jury to hold the negligent party responsible for that loss. Under the wrongful death statute, the loved one’s family cannot collect direct damages for the grief and loss they feel, but they can receive compensation for lost earnings, lost opportunity to continue the relationship, and the loss of companionship. If you or a loved one have been an unfortunate victim of another person or company’s negligence that resulted in death, please contact us for a free consultation about your or your loved one’s legal rights.

Traumatic Brain Injuries / Closed Head Injuries

Traumatic brain injuries are often misdiagnosed by medical practitioners. Many times people in automobile accidents or other traumatic events suffer what are known as “closed head injuries” or traumatic brain injuries. Medical evidence is overwhelming that these types of injuries can result in loss of cognitive function, brain damage, changes in personality, loss of impulse control, and inability to receive and process information properly. Many closed head injuries or traumatic brain injuries occur in relatively low speed accidents because of the significant force generated by the brain inside the skull. These injuries can be permanent, life changing, and even life threatening. If you or a loved one have been involved in a accident and have been diagnosed with or suspect a traumatic brain injury or closed head injury, please contact us for a free consultation to discuss your legal rights.

Other Personal Injury

Most traumatic injuries occur from automobile accidents, semi-truck accidents, slips and falls, or work in dangerous environments. Regardless of how you or your loved ones have been injured, if you believe another person or company is responsible for your injury, you should seek advice as to your legal rights. If you have been the victim of a traumatic injury, please contact us for a free consultation on your claim
