Southern Illinois and Missouri Civil Litigation Attorneys
Protecting Accident Victims, Injured Workers and Business Clients
The attorneys of Weilmuenster & Wigginton in Belleville, Illinois, are trial attorneys with years of experience handling complex cases. Our firm's partners each have more than 20 years of legal practice experience, meeting our clients' needs in a range of practice areas, including:
Personal Injury & Workers' Compensation
-
Wrongful Death - Obtaining compensation for the loss of a loved one. We are committed to helping you obtain compensation for punitive damages, lost wages and medical bills associated with the accident.
-
Medical Malpractice - When something goes wrong during a surgery or other medical procedure, doctors and hospitals often try to avoid the victim and his or her family. It usually takes a medical malpractice attorney to get the answers - and compensation - you need.
-
Nursing Home Abuse - The attorneys at our law firm carefully investigate allegations of injury-causing neglect or abuse at nursing homes. We aggressively seek to obtain maximum compensation for victims and their families.
-
Trucking Accidents - Truck accidents usually involve catastrophic injuries or death. For the victims and their families, it is a devastating event that changes their lives forever.
-
Car Accidents - While some law firms handle hundreds of car accident cases each year and attempt to settle each case quickly, we don't believe this approach is in the best interest of those who suffer the most serious injuries. We purposely keep our caseload manageable in order to give each client the attention that he or she deserves.
-
Motorcycle Accidents - We work closely with accident scene reconstructionists to determine the cause of serious and deadly accidents involving motorcycles, mopeds and motorized scooters.
-
Childhood Sexual Abuse - We aggressively represent adults who suffered sexual abuse as children. We devote as many resources as possible to obtain recovery for our clients.
-
Product Liability - Product liability laws cover a wide range of personal injury cases, encompassing everything from defective tires to faulty medical devices.
-
Workers' Compensation - Many people who are injured at work are reluctant to file a workers' compensation claim out of fear of retaliation. Workers cannot legally be fired for exercising their legal right to seek compensation for a work-related injury, though. If you have been injured on the job in Southern Illinois or Missouri, we can help.
-
Class Actions - While common class actions are related to business practices or consumer fraud, they can actually be brought any time a damage claim affects a large number of people. Cases can include defective drugs, faulty medical devices or wage and hour claims.
-
Drug Side Effects - Unfortunately, some drugs do not act in the manner a doctor expected. In recent years there have been countless injuries caused by side effects that drug companies purposely suppressed or delayed releasing.
Other Important Legal Areas
- Employment Law - The law regulates many areas of employment, from claims involving non-compete agreements to employment discrimination.
- Business and Commercial Law - Big business means big money; when incorporating a business, handling business transactions or drafting commercial contracts, it is important to work with a lawyer who is skilled, knowledgeable and business-savvy.
